Job Description
UI Engineer – AI
smartclip
• Own the UI layer — from vision to production. You’re not just writing components. You’re shaping how our product feels. • Architect and build production-grade frontends for AI agent products using React/Next.js. • Design interaction patterns for natural language and agent-driven UIs — the kind of interfaces nobody has fully figured out yet. • Brief and shape visual design with a strong sense for UX and layout — you don’t need to push pixels, but you need to know what great looks like. • Translate business requirements into product thinking — you understand why we’re building, not just what. • Establish frontend best practices: component architecture, testing strategies, code quality, CI/CD. • Work at the speed of AI while maintaining the quality bar of production software.
Job Requirements
- You’ve built apps. Great apps.
- You know React and Next.js inside out — the component trees, the state management headaches, the CSS battles at 2am.
- You’ve shipped production code, debugged impossible bugs, and architected frontends that actually scale.
- You started building with AI. Cursor, Claude, Copilot, v0 — you tried them all.
- You fell into every trap along the way. The hallucinated APIs. The spaghetti architecture that AI generates when you don’t guide it.
- The “works in demo, breaks in production” moments. The missing tests. But you figured it out.
- You learned how to prompt, how to constrain, how to review.
- You know when to trust AI output and when to throw it away.
- You’ve developed a workflow that actually produces production-grade, maintainable code — not just impressive demos.
- You write unit tests. You version properly. You evaluate output quality systematically.
- You treat AI like what it is: an incredibly powerful tool that needs an incredibly skilled operator.
- You have deep experience shipping real applications — probably years of it.
- You understand frontend architecture at a level where you can make big decisions confidently: state management, performance, component design, API integration, accessibility.
- Ideally, you’ve already worked on AI-first interfaces — conversational UIs, agent interactions, natural language input patterns.
- You don’t just build what’s specified. You understand the business context. You push back when something doesn’t make sense. You have opinions about UX and you can articulate them.
