About this role

Join an early-stage AI infrastructure startup as a Frontend Engineer to design and build the user interface for a Kubernetes-based cluster operating system.

What you'll do

  • Own the cluster OS UI end-to-end, including provisioning flows and real-time system insights
  • Design and build visualization systems that surface distributed cluster state clearly and intuitively
  • Integrate with Kubernetes APIs, GitOps controllers, and gRPC backends to expose relevant information
  • Build real-time reactive UIs using Convex that scale from individual users to production teams
  • Prototype new interaction patterns for infrastructure management and iterate based on feedback
  • Collaborate with backend teams to co-design frontend-friendly protocols and establish architecture patterns

What they're looking for

  • React and Next.js
  • Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui
  • Kubernetes internals (CRDs, operators, cluster architecture, etcd)
  • Go for system-level tooling and distributed systems
  • Terraform and Helm for Infrastructure as Code
  • GitOps workflows with ArgoCD
  • Prometheus and Grafana for observability
  • Real-time state management and complex data visualization

Benefits

  • Significant ownership and influence on product direction in an early-stage team
  • Work on hard infrastructure problems with tangible impact
  • Opportunity to shape foundational frontend architecture and best practices
  • Collaborative environment with product, design, and backend teams
