Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Luminary is an AI-native system of action for wealth transfer services. The Software Engineer - Frontend will build interfaces for reviewing extracted estate-planning data, editing complex structures, interacting with agent workflows, and presenting information to clients. The role also owns frontend architecture, partners closely with product design, and delivers polished, trustworthy user experiences.
Responsibilities
- Build AI-native interfaces. You'll build agent chat surfaces that know what the advisor is looking at, ambient agents whose work has to be visible and reviewable, diagrams of entity structures with dozens of relationships, and views that make the implications of a multi-decade projection obvious at a glance
- Own the frontend architecture. Component patterns, Apollo cache and state management, performance, and the shared primitives everyone else builds on top of
- Partner with design. Day to day with experienced product designers and our Head of Design. We want your opinions early, while things are still cheap to change
- Finish things. Empty states, loading behavior, and keyboard paths are the little things that make software feel delightful and trustworthy
Skills
- Four or more years of software engineering experience, most of it in frontend work, at companies with strong engineering practices
- You care about quality
- You notice when something is a half-step slow or has some jank in the animation, and it bothers you enough that you fix it
- You're curious about the domain
- You'll learn enough about trusts and transfer tax to argue about how they should be presented
- React, TypeScript, GraphQL (Apollo), and Playwright
- We use PostHog and Sentry for debugging, and Meticulous as an additional sanity check on changes
- Enough backend experience to shape the API you want to consume
- You communicate well. With half the team remote, overcommunication is the name of the game!
- At this time, Luminary is unable to sponsor employment visas or provide immigration support
