Founding Member of Technical Staff - Front end/Design Engineering

Job DescriptionJob Description

About us:

At HR Talent Partners, we focus on matching outstanding professionals with organizations that prioritize excellence. By leveraging our expertise in industry trends and offering a tailored approach, we aim to support businesses in creating strong, dynamic teams while helping individuals grow and succeed in their careers.

The Opportunity:

Our Client is looking for a Founding Member of Technical Staff with a background in systems engineering (esp. Rust).

Why not engineer? Were not going to make a distinction between engineers and researchers to encourage people to have cross-functional scope and impact. Our CTO has a PhD in reinforcement learning but also writes infrastructure code in Rust.

Today we particularly need help building delightful interfaces, but expect everyone to contribute to the entire project over time. The vast majority of your work will be open source. Youll have an opportunity to continue to master your current skills with the flexibility to learn new ones from scratch.

We are looking for:

• Strong technical background - Youve tackled hard technical problems. Youre comfortable driving large projects from inception to deployment (to start, TensorZeros observability dashboard).
• Passionate about your craft & design - You're excited about the idea of re-thinking developer tooling from first principles to build interfaces and workflows that don't just work but also delight.
• Background in front-end SWE - Weve started building POCs using Remix and Tailwind, but ultimately were not experts in this area (for now!). Youll complement the team with a strong background and technical leadership (esp. React).
• Hungry for personal growth - There are no speed limits at TensorZero. Youre excited about learning and contributing across the stack.
• In-person in NYC - We work in-person five days a week in NYC. We work hard and obsess about the craft but maintain and encourage a healthy lifestyle with a long-term mindset.

Benefits Package:

• Competitive compensation - We believe that great talent deserves great compensation (salary, equity, benefits), even at an early-stage startup.
• Open-source contributions - The vast majority of your work will be open-source and public.
• Learning and growth opportunities - You'll join with a background in back-end / systems but will have the opportunity (& be encouraged) to expand your skill set way beyond that (curious about ML?).
• Small, technical, in-person team - You'll work alongside a 100% technical team and help shape our vision, culture, and engineering practices.
• Best-in-class investors - Were lucky to be backed by leading funds like FirstMark (backed ClickHouse), Bessemer (backed Anthropic), Bedrock (backed OpenAI), and many angels. We have years of runway and a long-term mindset.
