About HeyMilo AI

HeyMilo AI is building the future of hiring.

We build an end-to-end AI-powered hiring platform that handles candidate sourcing, screening, enrichment, structured interviews, and more at scale.

Our product lives at the intersection of:

• Highly interactive, real-time frontend systems
• AI-driven decision making
• High-stakes hiring workflows

Frontend quality directly impacts candidate experience, customer trust, and hiring outcomes.

This role is critical to our success.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Frontend Engineer to own and ship mission-critical frontend systems for the HeyMilo AI interviewer platform.

In this role, you will:

• Take full ownership of frontend features from idea to production
• Build highly interactive, real-time user experiences used during live AI interviews
• Make architectural and technical decisions that directly impact candidate experience and platform reliability
• Work with high autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment

This role is for engineers who are comfortable operating independently, owning outcomes, and shipping production-quality frontend systems.

Key Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

• Build and maintain enterprise-grade frontend features for the HeyMilo AI interviewer platform
• Own the full lifecycle of frontend features: architecture, implementation, testing, and polish
• Develop complex, real-time UI flows (live interviews, streaming responses, timers, async events)
• Collaborate closely with backend and AI engineers to integrate APIs and real-time systems
• Ensure high standards for performance, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser compatibility
• Translate product requirements into scalable frontend solutions with minimal oversight
• Review pull requests and uphold frontend engineering standards
• Ship production-ready frontend systems independently

Platform & Quality Ownership

• Design reusable, well-typed UI components and abstractions
• Handle complex application state and edge cases gracefully
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code
• Debug production issues and take ownership of frontend reliability
• Improve frontend developer experience and internal tooling when needed

Technical Requirements

• 3+ years of professional frontend engineering experience
• Expert-level proficiency in React and TypeScript
• Strong understanding of modern frontend architecture (hooks, composition, state management)
• Experience with Next.js or equivalent React-based frameworks
• Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and responsive design (beyond component libraries)
• Hands-on experience with modern design systems and component libraries such as Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, Material UI, or equivalent
• Experience integrating REST and/or GraphQL APIs
• Proven experience handling async data, real-time updates, and complex UI flows
• Strong knowledge of browser performance and optimization techniques
• Mandatory: Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools

  (e.g., Cursor, Devin) as a core part of daily development

Engineering Discipline & Mindset

• Proven ability to ship production features independently
• High standards for code quality (readability, testability, maintainability)
• Comfortable working in fast-moving startup environments
• Experience with Git, PR reviews, and CI/CD pipelines
• Strong ownership mindset and bias toward execution

What This Role Is NOT

• This is not a junior or mentorship-focused position
• This is not a design-led or UI-only role
• This is not a task-based or tightly-managed execution role
• This is not a role where requirements are fully prescribed or decisions are pre-made

You are expected to drive solutions, not just implement instructions.

What Success Looks Like (First 3–6 Months)

• You independently ship core frontend features used by candidates and recruiters
• You significantly improve frontend stability, performance, or developer velocity
• You become a trusted owner of major parts of the interviewer experience
• You raise the bar for frontend quality across the product

Compensation & upside:

• VERY Competitive salary
  • We will match and exceed your current salary by a considerable amount
• Performance bonuses (applicable globally)
• Revenue share
• Ownership and long-term leverage
