About The Role
\ At Ocular AI, design and engineering converge to create exceptional user experiences. We’re looking for a
Frontend Engineer with a sharp eye for design and the technical expertise to craft polished, high-performing web applications.
This is more than a coding role—you’ll work at the intersection of creativity and technology, collaborating across teams to deliver impactful, design-driven solutions. Reporting directly to the founders, this high-agency role allows you to shape our products and brand while solving challenging technical problems.

- Multimodal Rendering: Develop performant 2D and 3D rendering products to support advanced data annotation workflows.
- UI/UX Excellence: Establish and enforce a consistent, delightful user experience across products.
- Elevate Standards: Drive improvements in engineering best practices, tooling, and processes to deliver maintainable and scalable codebases.
What We’re Looking For
- Technical Expertise:
- Proficiency in Next.js, React, Redux, and Recoil (or similar state management libraries).
- Experience with deployment platforms like Vercel and CMS platforms like Contentful.
- Familiarity with analytics platforms such as PostHog.
- Experience with WebSockets, LiveBlocks, or similar technologies for designing real-time, collaborative applications.
- Knowledge of multimodal rendering on web canvases (e.g., image/video/audio).
- Design Sensibility:
- Proficiency in Figma and Spline, with a strong understanding of graphic design principles (typography, color, layout, illustration).
- Ability to collaborate closely with marketing and design teams to deliver polished results.
- Startup Mindset:
- Thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with a proactive, problem-solving attitude.
- Comfortable working in person in our San Francisco office to collaborate effectively with the team.
What We Value
- Design-Oriented Thinking: Crafting solutions that are functional, user-friendly, and beautiful.
- Raw, Hardcore Intelligence: Tackling tough problems with precision, resourcefulness, and grit.
- Founder Mentality: Taking full ownership of your work, pushing for excellence, and navigating challenges with humility.
- Customer Obsession: Prioritizing user needs and creating products that delight and deliver real value.
- Humble Collaboration: Embracing feedback and fostering a team-oriented culture where diverse ideas drive success.
