Founding Front-end Engineer

Full-time

Hybrid/On-site: Los Angeles, CA (will consider remote and/or relocation)

As a Frontend Engineer at Smack, you will build the UI for complex problems. Our product leverages AI and mathematical optimization. For it to work, the UI must be exceptional at two things: First, it needs to make planning collaborative and simple. Maybe even fun. Basically, be the opposite of planning in PowerPoint. Second, it needs to enable human-in-the-loop autonomy. The UI is the portal for decision-makers to interact with Smack’s system at high-value human touchpoints and to audit the system's logic. You will build the visualization tools and dashboards to make this possible.

As part of our founding team, you’ll have strong ownership over major parts of our system. You’ll help design the systems, and choose the technologies.

Design, build, and deploy a collaborative UI that allows users to rapidly build tasks and prioritize thousands of items.

Design, build, and deploy a course of action (COA) builder UI that allows users to compare plans
