What We Are Looking For

We are looking for Frontend Product Engineers to build these ai applications. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and AI systems. You will work closely with customer domain experts, AI strategists, AI Researchers, and the Platform Engineering Team to design and ship interfaces that allow humans to guide, evaluate, and improve AI systems in production environments. Many of these applications begin as forward-deployed tools for specific customers. The best ideas and patterns are then incorporated back into the Distyl platform.

If you enjoy building products quickly, working directly with users, and experimenting with new AI-native ways of developing software, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

Design and ship interfaces where operators interact with AI systems to perform real operational work. These applications may include: knowledge capture tools, evaluation and feedback workflows, AI configuration and control interfaces, workflow orchestration tools, and custom applications for enterprise use cases
Collaborate closely with AI Strategists and customer domain experts to understand real workflows
Translate those workflows into working product experiences that allow operators to interact with and guide AI systems
Move quickly from idea → prototype → production
Use real user interactions and system behavior to refine both the product experience and the AI systems it supports
Integrate applications with LLMs, evaluation pipelines, and internal AI infrastructure
Understand how interface design affects: system behavior, feedback quality, user trust, system improvement loops

Who You Are

Early-career builders (0–3 years of software engineering experience)
Comfortable building modern web applications using tools such as TypeScript, React, modern component libraries, API-driven architectures
Sharp eye for detail and a natural sense for what makes a product sing
Care about how a workflow feels effortless, how an interface guides people naturally, how the right design choice can elevate an entire experience
No design background required — just a real passion for products done well and the confidence to push for that standard
Actively use AI tools in your daily workflow for writing and debugging code, generating prototypes, exploring designs, and accelerating iteration
Excited about experimenting with new ways of building software with AI
Comfortable starting with an unclear problem and working with users to figure out what should be built
Enjoy working with real users and understanding operational problems

What We Offer

The base salary range for this role is $130K – $250K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
A mission‑driven, fast‑moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence

Distyl has offices in San Francisco and New York. This role follows a hybrid collaboration model with 3+ days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) in‑office.
