What you'll do

  • AI UI/UX Design & Implementation: Translate complex generative and agentic AI processes into intuitive, responsive, and engaging front-end interfaces.

  • Front-End Architecture: Design, build, and maintain front-end UI component libraries. These libraries should be scalable, accessible, and reusable and will be created for generative AI interactions. You will use modern frameworks like React and TypeScript.

  • Human-AI Interaction Patterns: Prototype and implement novel interaction patterns for conversational AI, agent execution visibility (thought logs, tool calls), prompt systems, and rich dynamic outputs.

  • Performance & Streaming Optimization: Optimize UI performance for real-time AI responses, managing token streaming latency, async state management, and optimistic UI updates.

  • Enterprise Grounding & Integration: Connect front-end interfaces to internal services. This includes Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) endpoints. It also includes Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) and agent orchestration APIs.

  • Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation for UI component systems, front-end architecture, and design pattern guidelines.
  • Proven Success in AI UX: Recent experience creating user interfaces for GenAI applications is important. This includes working with conversational interfaces, dynamic prompt builders, and complex agent workflows.
