Senior Frontend/Ui Engineer

We're a 9-person startup (4 founders + 5 team members) building the first AI-powered humanless event agency. We have 30+ reusable UI components, 20+ custom hooks, real-time AI streaming interfaces, and real paying customers. We need a senior frontend engineer who can design in Figma and build pixel-perfect UI. Equity included.

Companies tell our AI what they need - a corporate retreat for 200, a team building in Tuscany, a product launch in Milan - and our platform handles the rest: gathering the brief through conversation, searching venues, processing supplier proposals, and managing the entire event lifecycle.

No forms. No back-and-forth emails. Just natural language.

Our stack

Next.Js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, PostgreSQL, AWS ECS.

The Team

We're 9 people total – 4 founders and 5 team members. Two co‐founders work on the product daily: Lorenzo (CTO) and Daniele (CPO). The engineering team is Lorenzo and a Founding Engineer. You'd be the third engineer, working directly with both co‐founders.

How We Work

Ship daily – CI/CD goes straight to ECS. Your code hits production the same day.

AI‐first – We build with Claude Code, Cursor, whatever makes us faster. We'll give you a Claude Code subscription or the AI tool you prefer.

Pragmatic – Simple solutions, DRY code, iterate based on real usage. No over‐engineering.

Flexible – Core hours 9:15‐18:15 CET. We care about output.

Fast – Slack message >

meeting. Always.

TasksWhy This Role

Most "Frontend Engineer" roles are about connecting forms to APIs. This isn't that.

We're building interfaces for AI workflows that stream in real time – conversational UIs, proposal management, venue search with live updates, drag‐and‐drop data management. Every screen needs to feel alive, responsive, and intuitive while handling complex state underneath.

What You'll Do

You won't be slicing static mockups. You'll design in Figma and build interfaces that make AI feel effortless.

First month – Learn the system, ship real things:

Understand the codebase, the component library, and how AI streaming reaches the UI

Pair with Lorenzo and Daniele on existing pages – fix UI bugs, improve layouts, refine interactions

Ship your first feature or component to production

Months 2‐3 – Build independently:

Create Figma designs for new features and translate them to pixel‐perfect UI

Build new pages and components end‐to‐end: design, implementation, API integration

Own the design consistency across the product

Months 3‐6 – Own the frontend experience:

Architect complex interfaces from scratch (real‐time streaming, drag‐and‐drop, complex forms)

Build and evolve the design system that scales across the product

Incorporate feedback from Daniele (CPO) on design direction and product vision

Start shaping what we build next, not just how

After that – You own the frontend. You'll have opinions on UX, push back on designs that don't work, and drive features from Figma to production. The scope grows as fast as you do.

What's Already Built

We're not pre‐product. We have a mature frontend with 30+ reusable UI components, 20+ custom hooks, a streaming event system for real‐time AI updates, and complex data management interfaces (proposals, pricing, venues). Real customers use it today.

You'll work in a Next.Js 16 app with App Router, React 19, Tailwind CSS, and Radix UI – all inside a TypeScript monorepo.

RequirementsMust‐have:

5+ years building software, with strong frontend/UI focus

Figma proficiency – you can design and translate to code

UI design sensibility : strong eye for spacing, typography, visual details

Next.Js App Router production experience (Next.Js 15+)

React 19 expertise with complex state management (custom hooks, context)

TypeScript at an advanced level

Tailwind CSS: complex layouts, responsive design, animations

Component libraries (Radix UI, shadcn/ui, or similar)

Streaming APIs or Server‐Sent Events for real‐time UI

Non‐negotiable:

Italian : native/fluent – customer‐facing work requires it

English: strong – docs, research, team communication

Based in Italy, remote

Nice‐to‐have:

Animation libraries (Framer Motion or similar)

Drag‐and‐drop libraries

Form libraries (React Hook Form or similar)

Testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright)

Database experience (PostgreSQL, ORM)

AI/LLM integration experience

A heads up – this is a startup. You'll be in the trenches with us. Some days you'll solve problems no one has solved before. Some days you'll have to figure things out from scratch with no playbook. Ownership is total – from Figma design to production,
