Company mission
To create the most customer-centric AI company that revolutionizes how enterprise thrive in the AI-assisted economy.
Role
Who you are
- Strong experience building and operating modern frontend platforms, including large-scale TypeScript and React applications, component systems and design infrastructure, application architecture and integration patterns, frontend infrastructure, build systems, and tooling, and state management and data synchronization
- Understand how frontend systems interact with APIs, distributed systems, and real-time data sources
- Designed and evolved frontend systems used by many engineers or applications. You understand how architectural decisions affect maintainability, developer productivity, and long-term system evolution
- Comfortable making high-impact technical decisions and owning their consequences
- Helped establish frontend standards, shared infrastructure, or architectural patterns used by multiple engineers or teams
- Write production code, review critical changes, and contribute directly to platform infrastructure
- Comfortable stepping into complex systems, diagnosing architectural problems, and improving them through pragmatic solutions
- Actively use modern AI tools in your workflow and think about how systems can be designed so that AI agents can safely generate, modify, and evolve application interfaces over time
- Experience designing shared systems—component libraries, design systems, developer tooling, or internal frameworks—that enable teams to move quickly while maintaining consistency across applications
- Comfortable working across research, infrastructure engineering, and forward deployed teams to design systems that integrate cleanly with broader infrastructure and evolving AI capabilities
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Frontend Platform Architect to design and build the frontend platform that enables these applications
- This role defines the architecture, primitives, and guardrails that allow engineers—and eventually AI agents themselves—to safely create and evolve interfaces. The eventual goal is for applications to autonomously evolve just as our AI systems do
- Build the frontend platform that enables humans and AI agents to create and evolve applications
- Design the frontend architecture that makes this possible—ensuring applications can be built and deployed rapidly while maintaining enterprise-grade control, consistency, and governance
- Enable forward deployed and research teams to push the limits
- Work closely with research engineers developing new AI capabilities and forward-deployed teams deploying these systems into real-world environments
- Design frontend primitives and platform infrastructure that allow teams to rapidly experiment with new workflows, interfaces, and AI capabilities—while ensuring the broader platform remains stable and coherent
- Develop and maintain frontend platform guardrails and standards
- Define the architectural patterns, shared primitives, and platform conventions used to build applications across Distyl
- Design and own component systems and UI primitives, application architecture and integration patterns, frontend infrastructure and build systems, developer tooling and testing frameworks
