Frontend Design Engineer
About Alpha
Alpha is an AI-native outreach and relationship intelligence platform. We bring contact management, multi-channel communication, knowledge, and campaign orchestration into one connected workspace.
We’re looking for a product-minded frontend engineer who can turn complex workflows into polished, intuitive experiences. This is an engineering-first role: robust design judgment is a valuable differentiator, but formal design experience is not required.
What you’ll do
- Build and ship production features across data-rich workflows, including contacts, inbox, knowledge, onboarding, settings, and AI-powered creative tools
- Turn product requirements and designs into responsive, accessible, high-quality interfaces
- Work across the full frontend lifecycle—from shaping interactions and component APIs to implementation, testing, and refinement
- Create reusable components and evolve our shared design system
- Make thoughtful decisions about hierarchy, spacing, states, motion, and interaction details
- Build performant tables, forms, side panels, editors, drag-and-drop experiences, and other complex product surfaces
- Manage server state, mutations, caching, loading states, errors, and optimistic interactions cleanly
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend engineers
- Improve frontend architecture, developer experience, accessibility, and performance
- Review frontend work and help maintain a consistent quality bar across the product
Our frontend stack
- React 19 and TypeScript
- React Router 7 and Vite
- Tailwind CSS 4
- shadcn/ui, Radix UI, and a shared component library
- TanStack Query, Table, and Virtual
- Zustand
- React Hook Form and Zod
- pnpm and Turborepo
You do not need experience with every tool on this list, but you should be comfortable learning within a modern, strongly typed React stack.
What we’re looking for
- Strong experience building and shipping production React applications
- Excellent TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals
- A solid understanding of component architecture, state management, data fetching, and frontend performance
- Experience building reusable components without over-engineering them
- Care for responsive behaviour, accessibility, edge cases, and interaction states
- The ability to work effectively in a component-driven design system
- Good product judgment and the ability to simplify complex workflows
- Comfort working independently, making sensible trade-offs, and taking features from idea to production
- Clear communication and a collaborative approach to product development
Bonus points
- Strong visual design instincts or experience working in Figma
- Experience owning both the design and implementation of product features
- A portfolio demonstrating polished, interaction-heavy product work
- Experience building design systems or shared component libraries
- Experience with data-dense B2B or SaaS applications
- Experience with animations, drag-and-drop interfaces, rich editors, diagrams, or generative AI products
- Familiarity with frontend observability and performance profiling
What success looks like
- You ship interfaces that feel clear, fast, and considered
- Your components are reusable, maintainable, and aligned with the wider product
- You can take an ambiguous workflow and turn it into a coherent user experience
- You raise the quality of the frontend through both your code and your product judgment
- You balance speed, polish, and technical quality without losing sight of the user
We value demonstrated ability over specific credentials. If you are a strong frontend engineer with an eye for good product experiences—even if you do not consider yourself a designer—we would like to hear from you.
