Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Frontend AI UI Engineer role sits at a clear intersection of two major SaaS currents: enterprise customer/employee experience platforms and the shift toward agentic AI as a product surface. The work centers on building the interfaces that make AI agents operable—visual orchestration, testing, and deployment—rather than treating AI as a black-box feature. In a multi-tenant, enterprise-grade SaaS setting, that emphasis on usability and control becomes a differentiator.
From a SaaS career standpoint, the role develops durable product-building skills that translate across platforms: designing complex React/TypeScript applications, integrating real-time event streams, and treating observability and evaluation as first-class UI concerns. Exposure to secure UI patterns (SSO/OAuth2, RBAC) and performance/scalability expectations aligns closely with how mature SaaS products are shipped and maintained. The focus on workflow builders and graph-based editors also maps well to broader trends in low-code tooling and internal platform UX.
This position is best suited to an experienced frontend engineer who enjoys turning sophisticated backend capabilities into clear user workflows, and who is comfortable partnering closely with architecture, UX, and backend teams. It will appeal to professionals who prefer product surfaces with high interaction density—debugging views, simulations, and configuration consoles—over marketing pages or simple CRUD interfaces.

Job Description
We are looking for a Frontend AI UI Engineer to design and implement highly interactive, intuitive, and enterprise-grade UIs for our Agentic AI Platform. You will collaborate closely with the Principal AI UI Architect to deliver visual interfaces that allow users to build, test, debug, and deploy outcome-driven reasoning agents.
This role involves developing agent builders, simulation tools, dialog orchestration interfaces, and multi-channel assistant deployment UIs, ensuring a seamless developer and enterprise experience.
Key Responsibilities
Agentic UI Development
- Build interactive visual editors (drag-and-drop) for agent orchestration and reasoning workflows (LangGraph visualization).
- Implement prompt management, versioning, and testing interfaces for agent development.
- Develop real-time debugging tools to visualize agent reasoning traces, tool invocations, and dialog flows.
- Integrate UI components with LangSmith APIs for agent observability, evaluations, and regression testing.
User Simulation & Testing Interfaces
- Implement user simulation frameworks for testing agent strategies with varied personas and scenarios
- Build A/B testing dashboards for evaluating outcome-driven strategies across agents and prompts.
- Create UIs for multi-turn conversation playback, agent state inspection, and scenario-driven outcome analysis.
Dialog Orchestration & Multi-Channel Experience
- Develop dialog flow editors to design multi-turn conversations with branching, context retention, and hierarchical dialogs.
- Build deployment interfaces to configure assistants across digital channels (chat, web, messaging) and voice/IVR systems
Core UI Framework & Architecture
- Collaborate with the architect to define frontend design patterns, state management, and modular UI frameworks.
- Integrate frontend with backend APIs, agent runtimes, and real-time event streams.
- Ensure UI scalability, performance optimization, and secure multi-tenant design for enterprise usage.
Collaboration & Developer Experience
- Partner with backend engineers to integrate APIs and orchestration services into the UI seamlessly.
- Work closely with UX designers to deliver high-quality, intuitive user interfaces aligned with AI/agent workflows.
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and cross-functional planning with architects and engineers.
Please note: This is a hybrid role that will be based in San Mateo, CA or Bellevue, WA and requires an in-office presence three days per week (Tuesday - Thursday).
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of frontend engineering experience, building complex enterprise-grade UIs
- Strong expertise in React (e.g., next.js), TypeScript, and state management
- Experience developing visual workflow builders or graph-based editors (e.g., d3.js, React Flow)
- Knowledge of real-time UI deployment for live agent monitoring/debugging
- Familiarity with agentic AI concepts and their UI/UX requirements
- Proficiency in frontend testing, performance profiling, and accessibility best practices
- Understanding of secure UI patterns (SSO/OAuth2, RBAC, multi-tenant UI isolation)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building low-code/no-code interfaces for AI or developer platforms
- Familiarity with LangSmith and agent observability tooling integration in UI workflows
- Exposure to conversational UI/UX design for chat and voice assistants
- Prior experience with real-time collaborative editing (CRDTs, Yjs, or similar frameworks)
- Startup or early-stage product development experience in AI-driven SaaS environments
