Perplexity's Core Experience team is building the interfaces through which millions of people interact with AI. This role is a Member of Technical Staff on the frontend engineering team, responsible for creating cohesive, intuitive, and delightful user experiences by integrating cutting-edge AI capabilities into a unified web application.
You will work closely with product design teams to ship a world-class web app, focusing on defining the future of human-agent collaboration. Your work will establish intuitive mental models, patterns, and state representations for AI interaction. You'll prototype, architect, and engineer novel interfaces for interacting with AI collaborators, turning visionary design concepts into production implementations.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building and shipping polished, high-craft, intuitive web interfaces
- Constantly improving high-visibility surfaces like agent chat threads, artifact editing, and message composition
- Partnering directly with design to prototype and architect novel AI interaction patterns

- Collaborating with capabilities and research teams to synthesize latest research into coherent production experiences
- Supporting other product teams by designing reusable libraries and SDKs to maintain quality standards across all product surfaces

Requirements:
- Strong proficiency in modern web technologies: React, TypeScript, CSS
- Exceptional taste with relentless attention to detail (aesthetics, performance, code quality)
- Ability to own projects end-to-end and work at high velocity in ambiguous environments
- Keen product sensibilities and ability to reason about what will and won't work
- Customer obsession: always thinking about how your work impacts the end user
