From the employer
STLabs is an AI service management platform that resolves employee requests end-to-end, grounded in a living model of the enterprise. This matters because we're able to resolve requests with full context - the people, systems, services, and policies that define how an organization actually runs. Requests that used to take days of back-and-forth resolve in minutes, right where employees already work.
The Role
We are seeking a talented Front-End Engineer - AI-First to join our small but growing engineering team. In this role, you’ll own the user-facing product: deliver polished, high-performance interfaces, leverage AI-driven tools to accelerate development, and partner with product and design to turn complex enterprise workflows into intuitive front-end experiences.
What You’ll Do
Build responsive, accessible, and scalable UIs using modern front-end technologies (e.g. React, Next.js, TypeScript).
Develop and maintain a shared component library or design system, supporting consistency across the product.
Integrate with backend APIs / services (REST / SSE / GraphQL) to fetch and render data; ensure smooth communication between frontend and backend
Use AI-first tooling (e.g. AI-assisted code generation, automated refactoring, AI-assisted testing / linting / code review) to boost developer productivity and maintain high code quality. (Given our AI-savvy culture — this is core to the role.)
Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to translate UX/wireframes into production-ready, user-friendly features.
Optimize performance, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility (responsive layouts, fast load times, smooth interactions).
Write clean, maintainable, testable code; participate in code reviews; help define front-end architecture and best practices.
What We’re Looking For
Required / Core Skills
Several years of professional front-end engineering experience (or equivalent), with hands-on experience in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g. React, Next.js)
Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS (or CSS-in-JS / styling solutions), responsive design, and front-end fundamentals (DOM, browser behavior, layout, performance).
Experience integrating with APIs (REST / GraphQL) and working alongside backend teams.
Experience with realtime, streaming AI-first components.
Good understanding of UI/UX principles, and comfort collaborating with designers to implement wireframes/mockups.
High code quality standards — clean, maintainable, testable code; familiarity with version control (e.g. Git), testing, CI/CD workflows.
Desire to embrace AI-augmented engineering workflows — comfortable exploring / adopting AI tools to accelerate UI development, refactoring, testing, or component generation.
Nice-to-Have / Preferred
Experience building conversational or chat-based applications, including managing complex multi-turn conversation state and dynamic message flows, similar to ChatGPT-style interactions.
Experience building or contributing to design systems / component libraries
Experience with TypeScript (or willingness to adopt it)
Familiarity with performance optimization, accessibility (a11y), cross-browser support, and responsive design at scale
Experience working in a fast-moving startup / AI-driven product environment
Strong communication skills — able to articulate UI constraints, tradeoffs, and collaborate across cross-functional teams
Why You’ll Enjoy This Role
You’ll shape the entire front-end experience of a next-gen SaaS product — from UI design to deployment
You’ll be at the forefront of a modern “AI-first” engineering culture: using AI tools to 10× your productivity, ship faster, and craft better user experiences
