About the role

  • AI Engineer at Ascend Partner Services designing autonomous agents to streamline document-heavy workflows. Collaborating on cutting-edge LLM technologies to enhance productivity and efficiency.

Responsibilities

  • Design and ship the autonomous agent framework that makes those workflows vanish behind a chat-first interface
  • Prototype and deploy autonomous agents that take a request, gather context, decide next steps and deliver finished work with minimal human touch
  • Design the tool-API layer that lets agents trigger real-world actions (emails, filings, database updates) safely and auditable from day one
  • Build the backbone of our agents: a lightning-fast context engine that digests messy inbox threads, docs, and notes, and serves only the gold-standard facts to the model
  • Own the whole eval stack, datasets, lightning-fast benches, and live telemetry, so we can prototype in hours, A/B with real metrics, and ship to prod (or roll back) with total confidence
  • Embed red-team tests, PI-scrubbing, and role-based access gates directly into the inference path, so safety is baked in, not bolted on
  • Ship an internal playground where PMs and engineers can compose, test, and share agent chains in minutes, no local setup required.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building production-grade frontend applications
  • Driven by speed, innovation, and delivering products that users genuinely love.
  • Demonstrated experience rapidly designing, building, and iterating product prototypes.
  • Strong passion for deeply understanding and solving customer problems.
  • Proven ability to independently design and deliver products that make an immediate impact.
  • Daily hands-on experience with AI-driven coding tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Codex).
  • Expertise in HTML, CSS (incl. pre-processors), TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
  • Deep understanding of responsive design, accessibility (WCAG), and frontend performance optimization
  • Familiarity with design systems (e.g., Storybook, Radix, shadcn/ui) and component-based architectures
  • Experience with modern build systems and tooling (Vite, Webpack, Next.js, Remix, Indexdb, TanStack)
  • Knowledge of testing tools (Jest, Testing Library, Playwright) and QA practices for frontend applications
  • Appreciation for elegant code and the craft of UI engineering, clean, maintainable, expressive
  • Bonus: Exposure to AI/LLM interfaces or agentic UIs a major plus.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plans
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
