fabrion
Frontend Engineer (with familiarity of full stack) (Founding Team)
Location: San Francisco Bay Area
Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity (founding tier)
Backed by 8VC, we're building a world-class team to tackle one of the industry’s most critical infrastructure problems.
About the Role
We’re building an AI-native data platform designed to simplify the most complex workflows in deep industrial use cases. We’re looking for a frontend engineer who’s excited to bring clarity to ambiguity, design to complexity, and elegant user experiences to industrial-grade systems.
You’ll work directly with the founding team to shape and ship intuitive UIs across multi-tenant analytics visualizations, agent interfaces, and workflow tools. If you’ve ever felt that enterprise UIs are bloated, confusing, or inefficient — this is your chance to build something better.
This is an early-stage, high-autonomy role where you’ll contribute to the foundational UX patterns and design language of a next-generation SaaS platform.
Responsibilities
Design and build scalable, performant, and accessible frontend components using React and Next.js
Implement intuitive, minimal UX for complex backend and AI workflows — including dashboards, agents, approval flows, and multi-tenant admin panels
Work closely with backend and data teams to visualize dynamic, high-dimensional data (including time series, lineage, vector search, and agent memory)
Contribute to design systems, component libraries, and shared patterns
Ship quickly and iterate — from low-fidelity prototypes to fully responsive, production-ready code
What We’re Looking For
Experience:
3–7 years of experience as a frontend or full stack engineer
Proficient in React, TypeScript, Next.js, TailwindCSS (or equivalent), experience with AI Agentic stack like langchain, model APIs, model and agentic interfaces is a big plus
Comfortable integrating with APIs (REST, GraphQL), streaming endpoints, and real-time data
Experience building or contributing to complex dashboards or admin panels
Familiar with web accessibility, responsive design, and UX performance best practices
Mindset & Craft:
You think deeply about user experience and prefer clarity over flashiness
You enjoy simplifying complexity with elegant, maintainable interfaces
You value clean abstractions and shareable components over short-term hacks
You want to work on tools that solve hard problems for real users
You care about visual storytelling, agent interfaces, and helping users trust AI outputs
Bonus Experience:
Prior work on B2B platforms, data-intensive applications, or industrial/logistics tooling
Experience with Vega or Flourish or React ReChart charting libraries, or D3.js
Slack app integrations, Excel/Docs plugins, or workflow UX
Familiarity with multi-tenant design patterns, granular RBAC, or policy-based controls
Experience with AI Agentic stack like langchain, model APIs, model and agentic interfaces is a big plus
Why Join
Early ownership in a technical product with long-term upside
Opportunity to define how users interact with complex data and intelligent agents
Join a founding team that values design as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought
Ship features fast in a low-process, high-trust environment
Work on AI-native tooling that blends backend intelligence with frontend usability
If you want to help shape the interface layer of the next generation of intelligent systems — and believe design is a core enabler of AI trust, clarity, and effectiveness — we’d love to hear from you.
