Senior Frontend Engineer, Annotation Tools
We're seeking a detail-oriented Senior Frontend Engineer to build world-class annotation tools using React and TypeScript. You'll create responsive, high-quality web interfaces that enable global annotators to work efficiently, while integrating AI capabilities to enhance productivity. This role is ideal for someone who values frontend craftsmanship, collaborates effectively with stakeholders, and delivers exceptional customer-facing applications.
Description
As a Senior Web Frontend Engineer, you'll design and develop sophisticated React based annotation tools that combine polished user experiences with intelligent AI integration. You'll collaborate directly with product managers, designers, and end-users to understand workflows, translate requirements into elegant applications, and continuously improve tools that support annotators worldwide.
Responsibilities
- We're looking for someone who brings both precision and creativity: the ability to implement pixel-accurate designs, and the judgment to make user-centered UI/UX decisions when designs are incomplete. You'll build scalable, maintainable codebases and play a key role in shaping the next generation of human-AI collaboration.
Minimum Qualifications
- Extensive experience (5+ years) building and scaling production web applications in React and TypeScript, including component architecture, state management, and performance optimization.
- Proficiency with modern frontend build tools and styling frameworks (e.g., Vite, Webpack, Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules) and strong grasp of modern JavaScript/CSS practices.
- Ability to translate design specifications into pixel-accurate UI implementations, and to make thoughtful, user-centered UI/UX decisions when specifications are incomplete - balancing usability, accessibility, and consistency with the product's design system.
- Proven experience working directly with product managers, designers, or end-users to gather requirements and iteratively deliver production-ready customer-facing applications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building annotation, labeling, or complex data visualization tools, or other workflow-driven web applications.
- * Experience integrating AI/ML models into web applications through APIs and SDKs
- Performance optimization expertise in data-heavy, real-time, or media-rich web applications (e.g., optimizing rendering, state management, or network performance).
- Experience developing or contributing to design systems and reusable component libraries that ensure consistency and scalability across applications.
- Proficiency using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., claude code, vs code extensions, cursor, windsurf etc) to accelerate coding tasks, while maintaining code quality and review standards.
