Hypermode is hiring a Senior/Staff Front-end Engineer

You're motivated by the harder implementations. When someone says it can't be done, your mission is to prove them wrong. You spend 20% of the time on the 500 lines of code needed to make the feature work, and then 80% of the rest figuring out what 450 lines can be refactored out. You value clean, high-performance code, and are extremely familiar with building in the most modern versions of React and Next.js. You love to monitor new release changelogs to not only stay on top of evolving tech and keep your codebase running with the most modern integrations. You have a strong interest in working at the forefront of LLM-powered agentic systems, building fast, production-ready interfaces. You don't get much enjoyment from writing CSS, because you prefer to team up with elite UI engineers to bring the interface to life. If this sounds like you, keep reading.

What you'll do

• Build front-ends in Next.js (App Router) that feel fast, intentional, and native.
• Collaborate closely with the Design/UI Engineering team to bring ideas to life by building the layer that powers the UI.
• Architect and implement agentic LLM workflows that are intuitive, reliable, and scalable.
• Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow, not replace your standards — if it's not code you'd write yourself (or better), it doesn't ship.
• Obsess over details: bundle sizes, loading states, layout shift, query performance, platform stability, error handling, etc.
• Cut what's unnecessary. Favor the simplest path to a great UX, with minimal tooling overhead.

Who you are

• Fast and focused — you move quickly without sacrificing precision.
• Deeply experienced in Next.js, especially App Router, streaming, server actions, etc.
• You have strong product instincts and a high taste level for UI quality. You don't have to polish the UI, but you know when it can be better and you're not afraid to say it.
• You're curious about the future of LLMs and want to build with them, not just around them.
• You sweat the small stuff: performance, interactivity, progressive enhancement, etc.
• You're confident but low-ego. You seek better ideas, not credit. You prefer to ship as a team rather than on your own.
• You're opinionated, but you know when to let go and ship. You know when users would benefit more from the now version rather than waiting for the later version to be ready. The later version is just another PR away.

We believe in ensuring everyone at Hypermode has meaningful ownership in the company. If we build something great, you should enjoy our shared success.
