Software Engineer: Frontend

About Generalist

We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer to build the interfaces that make advanced robotics intuitive and useful. Your work will help researchers understand model behavior, operators manage robot fleets, and customers build with our foundation model.
You’ll own frontend development from early prototypes to production applications, working closely with design, product, and infrastructure teams. This role combines strong engineering fundamentals with thoughtful product judgment: you should care as much about how an interface feels as how it is built.
What You’ll Do

• Build web applications for robot monitoring, data exploration, model training and evaluation, and internal tooling.
• Turn complex technical requirements into clear, responsive interfaces that help users make decisions and take action.
• Develop interactive visualizations for robot telemetry, video, experiment results, and system health.
• Shape frontend architecture that makes complex workflows easy to understand, test, and extend as the product grows.
• Establish a cohesive design system across our research platform and robot operator interfaces, with shared components, styles, and interaction patterns.
• Work directly with researchers, operators, and customers to understand their workflows, test ideas, and improve the product based on feedback.
• Improve the frontend development experience through clear conventions, reusable patterns, and tooling that helps engineers build consistent features quickly.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience shipping and maintaining production web applications using TypeScript, React, and modern frontend tooling.
• Strong opinions around shared component libraries and UI patterns with good judgment about what to standardize and where flexibility matters.
• Strong frontend architecture fundamentals: clear component boundaries, explicit application state, and an ability to simplify complex code and make it easier for others to extend.
• Experience managing asynchronous data and user interactions, including keeping interfaces accurate and usable during background updates, slow requests, and failures.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working across engineering, design, and product.

Nice to Have

• Experience building tools for robotics, AI, scientific computing, or other technically complex domains.
• Experience with real-time interfaces, streaming data, or event-driven systems.
• Experience keeping data-intensive interfaces fast, including large tables or interactive visualizations and videos.
• Experience consolidating UI patterns and incrementally modernizing an existing frontend while continuing to ship product improvements.
• Excitement around developing frontend developer tooling, such as component previews or advanced useful end to end or browser tests.
• Experience with browser performance profiling, frontend observability, and automated testing.
