- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2025-12-08

## Job description

STLabs is an AI service management platform that resolves employee requests end-to-end, grounded in a living model of the enterprise. This matters because we're able to resolve requests with full context - the people, systems, services, and policies that define how an organization actually runs. Requests that used to take days of back-and-forth resolve in minutes, right where employees already work.

## The Role

We are seeking a talented Front-End Engineer - AI-First to join our small but growing engineering team. In this role, you’ll own the user-facing product: deliver polished, high-performance interfaces, leverage AI-driven tools to accelerate development, and partner with product and design to turn complex enterprise workflows into intuitive front-end experiences.

## What You’ll Do

- Build responsive, accessible, and scalable UIs using modern front-end technologies (e.g. React, Next.js, TypeScript).
- Develop and maintain a shared component library or design system, supporting consistency across the product.
- Integrate with backend APIs / services (REST / SSE / GraphQL) to fetch and render data; ensure smooth communication between frontend and backend
- Use AI-first tooling (e.g. AI-assisted code generation, automated refactoring, AI-assisted testing / linting / code review) to boost developer productivity and maintain high code quality. (Given our AI-savvy culture — this is core to the role.)
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to translate UX/wireframes into production-ready, user-friendly features.
- Optimize performance, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility (responsive layouts, fast load times, smooth interactions).
- Write clean, maintainable, testable code; participate in code reviews; help define front-end architecture and best practices.

## What We’re Looking For

Required / Core Skills

- Several years of professional front-end engineering experience (or equivalent), with hands-on experience in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g. React, Next.js)
- Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS (or CSS-in-JS / styling solutions), responsive design, and front-end fundamentals (DOM, browser behavior, layout, performance).
- Experience integrating with APIs (REST / GraphQL) and working alongside backend teams.
- Experience with realtime, streaming AI-first components.
- Good understanding of UI/UX principles, and comfort collaborating with designers to implement wireframes/mockups.
- High code quality standards — clean, maintainable, testable code; familiarity with version control (e.g. Git), testing, CI/CD workflows.
- Desire to embrace AI-augmented engineering workflows — comfortable exploring / adopting AI tools to accelerate UI development, refactoring, testing, or component generation.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred

- Experience building conversational or chat-based applications, including managing complex multi-turn conversation state and dynamic message flows, similar to ChatGPT-style interactions.
- Experience building or contributing to design systems / component libraries
- Experience with TypeScript (or willingness to adopt it)
- Familiarity with performance optimization, accessibility (a11y), cross-browser support, and responsive design at scale
- Experience working in a fast-moving startup / AI-driven product environment
- Strong communication skills — able to articulate UI constraints, tradeoffs, and collaborate across cross-functional teams

## Why You’ll Enjoy This Role

- You’ll shape the entire front-end experience of a next-gen SaaS product — from UI design to deployment
- You’ll be at the forefront of a modern “AI-first” engineering culture: using AI tools to 10× your productivity, ship faster, and craft better user experiences
- You’ll get to work closely with Product and Design, influencing how complex features are surfaced and used by real customers
- You’ll help build scalable, maintainable UI architecture that will grow with our product

As an equal opportunity employer, we don’t tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind. Whether that’s based on race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, citizenship, religion, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, veteran status or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state or local laws. The reasonably estimated yearly salary for this role at is: $160,000—$230,000 USD.

## About Standard Template Labs

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise IT Service Management (ITSM), AI-powered operations
- **Target customers**: B2B – IT operations, HR/people ops, engineering teams at mid-market and enterprise organizations
- **Mission or purpose**: Reinvent IT service management from the ground up – modern, efficient, and built for the way companies work today, without legacy baggage.

## Products & Services
- **Self-Service**: AI agents that resolve employee requests (password resets, access requests, device issues) through natural conversation, enforcing policy and provisioning automatically.
- **Operator Intelligence**: Enriches incoming tickets with live context, clusters them by root cause, and suggests automations so one fix resolves hundreds of incidents.
- **Axiom™**: A real-time, self-maintaining graph of every person, device, app, and infrastructure relationship. Enables impact analysis, blast radius mapping, and dependency tracing without manual CMDB.
- **Workflow Engine**: AI generates auditable, version-controlled code for workflows; deterministic execution with human-in-the-loop escalation and policy guardrails.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – not disclosed; backed by prominent investors (see below)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Board Director **Matt Jacobson** (General Partner at ICONIQ Capital, board member of Datadog, GitLab, etc.); other investors include Murat Bicer (likely from ICONIQ). Partners: 100+ integrations with identity providers, ticketing systems, cloud infrastructure, and communication tools.
- **Growth Signals**: Founded in 2025, already 25 total employees (15 product+tech), 16 open roles as of mid-2025. In-office 5 days a week in Midtown Manhattan, indicating rapid team scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native architecture** – built from scratch for the AI era, not bolted onto legacy systems.
- **Live graph (Axiom)** – reasons over real-time relationships, not stale snapshots, enabling accurate root cause and impact analysis.
- **Deterministic execution** – every action is auditable, versioned, and reproducible; no black-box magic.
- **Self-maintaining** – integrations adapt when APIs change; no manual CMDB.
- **Policy guardrails** – natural language policies that AI interprets directly, ensuring compliance.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Building the platform modules (self-service, operator intelligence, Axiom) and expanding integration ecosystem. Hiring aggressively across engineering, product, and operations to accelerate product development and go-to-market.
- **Direction for growth**: Displacing legacy ITSM tools (ServiceNow, etc.) with a modern, AI-driven alternative that reduces ticket volume and automates complex workflows.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: High ownership, low process – ship meaningful work every week. Technical depth (graph databases, LLM orchestration, self-healing integrations). Real impact on a massive, broken market.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: On-site only – work from Midtown Manhattan office alongside the founding team, five days a week. Collaborative, focused environment.
- **Notable perks**: Offers company equity; Unlimited PTO policy; healthcare benefits. Early-stage startup with strong backing – opportunity to grow with the company.
