Member of Technical Staff - Frontend Engineer
About Liquid AI
Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability. We partner with enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. We are scaling rapidly and need exceptional people to help us get there.
The Opportunity
You'll join our Product team to build the interfaces that make complex AI workflows feel simple. Our platform helps enterprises customize, deploy, and manage AI models without needing deep ML expertise. You'll own the frontend systems that translate sophisticated machine learning capabilities into intuitive user experiences, working directly with ML researchers, backend engineers, and designers in a fast-moving environment where your decisions shape the product.
While San Francisco and Boston are preferred, we are open to other locations.
What We're Looking For
We need someone who:
Thrives in ambiguity: You can take a vague goal like "add authentication" and break it into actionable work without waiting for detailed specs
Unblocks themselves: When an API needs changing, you jump in and fix it rather than waiting on the backend. You ask questions, but make decisions to keep moving
Owns the product: You care about user feedback, monitor metrics, and proactively surface improvements. You're not just pushing pixels
Balances speed and quality: You know when to prototype fast and when to build for scale. You ship frequently without accumulating unnecessary tech debt
The Work
Build and iterate on frontend systems for our AI model customization and deployment platform
Create intuitive interfaces that make complex ML workflows accessible to non-technical enterprise users
Collaborate with ML researchers and backend engineers to design seamless data flows and API contracts
Polish demos and prototypes for enterprise customers on short timelines
Contribute to our mobile app if you have native development experience
Desired Experience
Must-have:
Strong proficiency in React and Next.js with TypeScript
Experience with modern frontend tooling (TailwindCSS, component libraries like ShadCN)
Comfort working with APIs, data models, and making light backend modifications when needed
Track record of shipping in fast-paced, ambiguous environments (startup or early-stage experience valued)
Nice-to-have:
Native mobile development experience (iOS Swift or Android Kotlin)
Experience building enterprise software, developer tools, or AI-based workflow products
Familiarity with Postgres-style databases (Supabase, Neon) and RESTful API design
What Success Looks Like (Year One)
Frontend is no longer a bottleneck: the team trusts you to handle any UI work end-to-end
You've shipped major features that enterprise customers use daily
You've established patterns and components that accelerate the entire product team
What We Offer
Real ownership: You'll own the frontend across multiple product surfaces with room to expand into other areas
Compensation: Competitive base salary with equity in a unicorn-stage company
Health: We pay 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and dependents
Financial: 401(k) matching up to 4% of base pay
Time Off: Unlimited PTO plus company-wide Refill Days throughout the year
