🌟 Your Impact at Lila

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Software Engineer to join our Applied AI group and help shape the user-facing components of our cutting-edge AI-driven scientific platform. In this role, you will collaborate closely with software engineers, ML researchers, and scientists to build intuitive interfaces that simplify complex AI workflows. As part of a growing team, you will have an immediate impact on how our scientific community interacts with advanced AI frameworks and tools. 

Your work will be crucial to ensuring our end-users—ranging from computational biologists to experimentalists in the physical sciences—can effectively harness AI-driven capabilities in a seamless, accessible manner. If you are passionate about building high-performance, user-friendly web applications that empower novel scientific discoveries, we’d love to hear from you! 

🛠️ What You'll Be Building

  • Front-End Architecture & Development: Design and implement scalable front-end architectures using modern frameworks (e.g., React) that interact with back-end AI services. 
  • User Experience & Interface Design: Collaborate with product leads and UX designers to translate complex workflows into intuitive, engaging user experiences. 
  • Integration with Agentic AI Platform: Work closely with the Senior SWE and ML teams to integrate user-facing components with AI-driven agentic systems, ensuring data flows seamlessly between front-end and back-end services. 
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with domain scientists, data engineers, and product managers to gather feedback and iterate quickly on UI/UX improvements. 
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current with emerging front-end tools, frameworks, and industry trends. Propose and champion improvements that enhance development workflows and end-user experiences. 

🧰 What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 
  • Professional Experience: 3+ years of experience developing production-grade front-end applications, ideally with frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular. 
  • JavaScript/TypeScript Proficiency: Solid knowledge of modern JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript for building robust, maintainable codebases.  
  • UI/UX Fundamentals: Demonstrated ability to translate design requirements into visually polished, responsive, and accessible user interfaces. 
  • API Integration: Comfortable working with RESTful or GraphQL APIs; able to handle real-time data streams and large data sets in a performant manner. 
  • Communication & Collaboration: Proven track record of effectively working with cross-functional teams, explaining complex ideas, and incorporating diverse perspectives. 

✨ Bonus Points For

  • Experience with production AI/ML applications: Prior work with AI/ML systems, including building, deploying, and maintaining large-scale models in real-world environments. Familiarity with MLOps best practices, model versioning, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and monitoring AI services in production is highly valued.  
  • Hands-On Familiarity with Latest AI Concepts: Exposure to AI technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), or agentic frameworks—and how they integrate into a software platform. 
  • Domain Background: Exposure to life sciences, material sciences, or related fields. 
  • Technical Leadership: Experience leading or mentoring a team and making key architecture decisions. 
  • Previous experience in a fast-paced startup environment: Comfortable adapting quickly, working iteratively, and thriving in situations with evolving priorities and minimal structure.
