Senior Frontend Engineer (AI Infrastructure & Customer-Facing Platforms)

Here’s a more aggressive, YC-style, high-signal, 996-transparent version while keeping it professional and not legally risky:

Senior Frontend Engineer

Company: Confidential AI Infrastructure Startup

Location: Redwood City, California (Onsite, 5 days/week)

Compensation: $200,000 - $300,000 Base + Meaningful Equity

Visa Sponsorship: Available (H-1B, TN, L-1, E-3, F-1 OPT/CPT, O-1)

About The Company

We are a high-growth AI infrastructure startup building real-time voice agent systems that power customer support, sales, and operations for modern businesses.

We are backed by top-tier venture capital firms and leading angel investors. The company has scaled rapidly from early revenue to tens of millions in ARR in a short time, with a small, highly technical team operating at extreme efficiency.

This is a builder-first environment. We care about speed, ownership, and output—not process. Engineers here are expected to think like founders, move fast, and ship continuously.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and scale the customer-facing surface area of our AI platform.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role. You will be responsible for building and evolving the core frontend systems that customers interact with daily—dashboards, real-time interfaces, prompt tooling, and AI workflow products.

You will work directly with founders and customers, and your work will ship to production quickly and frequently.

If you want slow-moving enterprise processes, this is not the role. If you want to build fast, own deeply, and see your work in production immediately, this is.

Responsibilities

• Own and ship production React applications end-to-end.
• Build and scale frontend architecture using React + TypeScript.
• Design and implement real-time dashboards, analytics systems, and AI tooling interfaces.
• Work directly with backend engineers to integrate APIs and ship features fast.

• Make architectural decisions and own frontend technical direction.
• Write clean, high-performance, production-grade code.
• Maintain high engineering velocity while keeping code quality high.
• Participate in rapid iteration cycles and frequent releases.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 3–7 years of frontend engineering experience in production environments.
• Expert-level React + TypeScript skills.
• Proven experience building complex, data-heavy web applications.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance, and state management.
• Experience working closely with backend systems and APIs.
• Ability to operate in high-speed, high-ambiguity environments.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or equivalent technical background.
• Comfortable working onsite in Redwood City, 5 days/week.

Work Style & Expectations

This is a high-intensity, high-velocity startup environment.

We operate with a bias toward speed, ownership, and execution over process. Engineers are expected to move quickly, ship frequently, and take full responsibility for their areas.

During critical product cycles, launches, or customer-driven deadlines, work intensity may increase significantly. While we do not enforce a formal 996 policy, candidates should be comfortable with startup-style intensity, including extended hours when needed to hit company goals.

We Are Explicit About This

This is not a 9–5 role. It is a builder role in a company where speed matters.

Interview Process

• Intro Call
• Technical Screen (React)
• Deep Technical + System Design
• Final Onsite
  
  

If you want, I can also make a “YC Work at a Startup” ultra-condensed version or a more subtle version that still signals intensity without scaring Big Tech candidates.
