About this role
About the team
The charter of Perplexity’s Core Experience team is to create a cohesive, intuitive, and delightful user experience by integrating cutting-edge AI capabilities and research into a unified system. The Core Experience team works closely with product design teams to ship a world-class web app that’s used by millions of people every day. We imagine and build the interfaces through which people experience the promise of AI.
About the role
We are seeking a talented engineer with an uncompromising dedication to the craft of frontend web development. You’ll help us to define the future of human-agent collaboration: establishing intuitive mental-models, patterns, and state-representation. You’ll work closely with design to prototype, architect, and engineer novel interfaces for interacting with AI collaborators.
What you’ll do
Build and ship polished, high-craft, intuitive web interfaces
Constantly improve high-visibility surfaces like agent chat threads, artifact editing, and message composition
Partner directly with design to turn visionary ideas into production implementations
Solve complex problems across architecture, state-management, animation, and performance-optimization
Collaborate with capabilities and research teams to synthesize the latest research into coherent production experiences
Support other product teams by designing reusable libraries and SDKs to maintain a high quality-bar across all surfaces of the product
What we’re looking for
Strong proficiency in modern web technologies: React, TypeScript, CSS, etc.
Exceptional taste: relentless attention to detail, from aesthetics to performance to code-quality
Comfortable owning projects end-to-end, working at high velocity in an ambiguous environment where the industry changes by the day
Keen product sensibilities: being able to reason about what will work, what won’t, and articulate why
Customer obsession: always thinking about how what you’re building will touch the person on the other side of the screen
