Senior Frontend Engineer, AI Experience

This role is part of our AI Team building GIA, our AI-powered product that:

• Acts as an expert employment lawyer on one shoulder and an HR leader on the other
• Helps companies navigate complex global employment challenges with intelligence and ease

What makes this role unique:

• You’ll join a small, startup-structured team within the larger G-P organization.
• Passionate about building and defining early stage products.
• You’ll be helping to build GIA from the ground up — shaping both the product and the underlying tech
• We’re seeking individuals with a strong product mindset and expert-level engineering skills
• You must thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where direction isn’t always handed to you

• You’ll need to be highly independent and self-directed
• Must know how to identify what to build next, without always being told
• Expect to wear multiple hats and contribute across the stack
• While collaboration is essential, you must also lead as an individual contributor

Important note:

If you’re not prepared to operate at this level or aren’t excited by the challenge — this role may not be the right fit.

About the Role:

Beyond a competitive compensation and benefits package, what we offer to all employees along the way is the clear and simple promise of Opportunity Made Possible. Come expand your skills in new ways and experience the thrill of your best innovations becoming reality.  

This role sits within the GIA Experience Team, which is responsible for designing and implementing high-performance, intuitive, and responsive interfaces for our AI platform. We’re seeking an experienced front-end engineer who can bridge the gap between design and engineering, owning both the what and how of implementation. You will work closely with backend, BFF, and product teams to bring modern, performant, and accessible experiences to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the front-end architecture for GIA interfaces — from design fidelity and performance to componentization and responsiveness.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, UX designers, and AI/ML engineers to deliver seamless and intelligent user experiences.
• Implement high-performance, reusable components using React 18+ (ideally 19) with TypeScript across both web and (optionally) native applications.
• Build dynamic and animated interfaces with attention to detail around motion, voice interaction, and responsiveness across browsers and devices.
• Integrate deeply with BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) and REST APIs, with an eye toward stability, observability, and testability.
• Drive a culture of quality by contributing to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), unit and integration test coverage, and front-end performance observability.
• Lead front-end efforts for key initiatives including GIA-next, templating systems, editor experiences, and multimedia (images, video) integration.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience delivering high-impact front-end applications in production environments.
• Deep expertise in React (including React 18/19+) and front-end ecosystems (ECMAScript 6+, TypeScript, CSS-in-JS, modern HTML/CSS).
• Strong background in responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and mobile-first development.
• Demonstrated experience with animated interfaces, dynamic content, and voice-to-text/voice-to-voice interactions.
• Proven ability to separate content, logic, and localization in scalable front-end architectures.
• Experience with GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and modern version control practices.
• Hands-on integration experience with GraphQL/REST APIs, and familiarity with BFF patterns.
• Bonus: Experience with NodeJS, Go, or Python in backend or tooling contexts.
• Bonus: Experience in document editing, collaborative interfaces, and AI-enhanced UX patterns.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with React Native or other cross-platform frameworks for mobile development.
• Background in voice interfaces, speech-to-text, or conversational UI design patterns.
• Strong understanding of accessibility (a11y) and internationalization (i18n/l10n) best practices.
• Familiarity with LLM-enhanced UX patterns, prompt management, and AI-human feedback loops.
• Experience designing or implementing collaborative editing, template engines, or WYSIWYG document interfaces.
• Exposure to video/image manipulation, canvas-based rendering, or WebGL.
• Experience working alongside or within AI/ML model-serving environments (e.g., OpenAI, Hugging Face, internal LLM pipelines).
• Understanding of backend-for-frontend (BFF) design and GraphQL federation or composition.
• Experience leading or mentoring teams in cross-functional, fast-moving product organizations.
