Frontend Engineer

Elicit is an AI research assistant that helps researchers make better decisions through language models. They are seeking a Frontend Engineer to enhance their product by shipping useful features and maintaining high-quality user experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Build Elicit into a product researchers can’t live without
• You’ll work with a modern front-end stack (React, TypeScript, Chakra, Tailwind) to fully own shipping useful, exciting features out to users on a weekly basis
• You will work on a mix of known features / fixes, prototypes to validate ideas, and exploratory projects in between
• Our team is small, so we expect you to appreciate the user needs underlying everything you work on
• You should be comfortable making decisions and trade-offs that help us fulfill users’ needs best
• Keep Elicit’s bar for quality high
• You’ll balance shipping features in the short term with building extensible and maintainable systems
• You will be responsible for your features in production: they need to be scalable, resilient, and easy to operate
• You’ll be the biggest advocate for keeping Elicit’s bar high for smooth user workflows and making sure Elicit looks great and is a delight to use
• We want somebody on our team who’ll remain obsessed with a high quality user experience, and can hold us accountable to balancing that with shipping rapidly and pursuing new features
• You’ll contribute to discussions around UX, system design, and architecture
