Standard Template Labs is an AI-native, seed stage startup reimagining the future of IT Service and Configuration Management. Backed by leading investors, we're leveraging AI, graph-based architecture, and exceptional design to transform how enterprises manage and engage with their technology ecosystems. The Role We are seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer (AI-First) to join our small but growing engineering team. In this role, you’ll own and shape the user-facing product end to end: designing and building polished, high-performance interfaces, setting front-end technical direction, and leveraging AI-driven tools to accelerate development. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to turn complex enterprise workflows into intuitive, scalable front-end experiences. This is a hands-on senior role with real ownership - ideal for someone who enjoys building, mentoring through example, and raising the bar for front-end quality across the product. What You’ll Do - Own the front-end architecture for core product surfaces, making thoughtful decisions around state management, data fetching, performance, and scalability. - Build responsive, accessible, and high-performance UIs using modern front-end technologies (e.g. React, Next.js, TypeScript). - Design, develop, and evolve a shared component library / design system, ensuring consistency, usability, and maintainability as the product grows. - Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define API contracts (REST / SSE / GraphQL) and ensure smooth, efficient data flow between frontend and backend. - Build AI-first, realtime user experiences, including streaming and interactive components that respond dynamically to backend and model outputs. - Leverage AI-assisted development tools (code generation, refactoring, testing, linting, review) as a core part of your workflow to increase velocity while maintaining high code quality. - Partner deeply with Product and Design to translate UX concepts and wireframes into production-ready features, proactively identifying edge cases, trade-offs, and implementation risks. - Drive performance, accessibility, and quality across the front-end stack (load times, responsiveness, cross-browser support, a11y). - Set and uphold high engineering standards: write clean, testable code; lead by example in code reviews; help define front-end best practices and patterns. What We’re Looking For Required / Core Skills - Several years of professional front-end engineering experience (or equivalent), with deep hands-on experience building production applications using modern JavaScript / TypeScript frameworks (e.g. React, Next.js). - Strong mastery of HTML, CSS, and modern styling approaches (CSS-in-JS, design tokens, component-based styling), with a deep understanding of browser behavior, layout, and performance. - Proven experience owning and evolving complex front-end systems, not just implementing features. - Experience integrating with backend APIs (REST / GraphQL / streaming APIs) and collaborating closely with backend teams on system design. - Experience building or supporting realtime, streaming, or AI-driven UI components. - Strong product and UX instincts - comfortable working with designers and product managers to refine flows, interactions, and edge cases. - High standards for code quality and maintainability; experience with testing strategies, CI/CD workflows, and version control (Git). - Strong interest in - and comfort with - AI-augmented engineering workflows, using AI tools to accelerate development without sacrificing correctness or quality. Nice-to-Have / Preferred - Experience building conversational or chat-based interfaces, including managing complex client-side state, streaming responses, and dynamic message flows (e.g. ChatGPT-style UIs). - Prior ownership of a design system or shared component library used by multiple engineers or teams. - Deep experience w
