Job description
About HASH
HASH's open-source platform helps firms integrate both structured and unstructured information into knowledge graphs that support simulating, optimizing and automating processes. Our mission is to solve information failure, and help everybody make the right decisions. To that end, we're unapologetically excited. Actions speak louder than words, and we measure performance by output. We prioritize speed, and measure product delivery timelines in hours and days, not months and years. We value high-energy, high-expectations people who do what they say and say what they mean. We're committed to building a high-commitment, high-trust environment, and believe that the best teams are most productive together, in-person. We're therefore currently hiring exclusively in both London (UK) and Berlin (Germany) to join the firm.
About the role
We’re a fast-growing deep-tech company crafting web-based tools that help people model, understand, and optimize real-world systems and processes using AI. From interactive process-model editors to real-time simulations, we turn complex, non-textual data into intuitive, responsive, accessible web apps designed to be used by non-technical domain experts at research labs, startups and enterprises worldwide.
As a senior Frontend Engineer you’ll own end-to-end delivery of novel world modeling and AI native interface components, helping shape our frontend architecture, as part of an Advanced Research + Invention Agency funded project building systems for delivering “Safeguarded AI”. You’ll collaborate with technical product management, UX researchers and AI engineers from top labs, as well as our own developers and leadership, to push the boundaries of what a browser can do — whether that’s a drag-and-drop model builder, timeline-based simulator, or multimodal feedback interface.
What you'll work on
Day to day, you'll:
- Design, build, and ship production-ready React/TypeScript components and app-wide features for complex data-driven UIs
- Work with mathematical experts to convert world-modeling theory formalizations into software requirements, and writing tests which ensure implementation correctness
- Convert novel UX/UI designs — for new world modeling and AI-interaction features — into performant, responsive and accessible experiences that work across devices
- Establish project-wide standards for code quality (e.g. via linting), review and testing, and provide feedback on the work of other frontend engineers
- Profile and optimize rendering performance for complex interactions and visualisations
- Tell the story of best practices and lessons learned in developing and testing novel, complex world-modeling interfaces, e.g. via blog posts and workshops
- Partner with backend/infra teams to identify and manage interdependencies, and to help define robust APIs that support excellent, feature-rich frontend performance
- Stay on top of emerging browser capabilities and drive adoption of the ones that matter
Requirements
Must have
- Expertise with React, TypeScript, modern HTML & CSS
- Proven track record architecting and delivering rich web apps that involve complex user interactions
- Rigorous approach to documenting and versioning components for external audiences
- Experience profiling and debugging performance in devtools
- Comfortable taking a visible technical leadership role, mediating discussions around standards and implementation approaches, and taking accountability for the delivery of features on time and to spec
- Excellent written & verbal communication in English and comfort working async
Nice to have
- Familiarity with process/model-oriented UIs: BPMN, UML, systems-dynamics models, graphs, etc.
- Understanding of WCAG 2.2 and pragmatic accessibility techniques (ARIA, focus management, keyboard UX)
- Public record of maintaining a well-documented, semantically versioned library (ideally in an open-source context)
- Experience with CRDTs or other real-time collaboration solutions
- Hands-on experience with WebAssembly pipelines
- Canvas/WebGL experience for high-performance rendering
Benefits
We offer leading equity-weighted total compensation, including competitive salaries and tax-advantaged options. We also offer:
- Employer pension contributions
- At least 30 days holiday annually
- Quarterly in-person team retreats around the world
HASH's founders have previously founded and sold companies like Stack Overflow and Trello for hundreds of millions and billions of dollars.
This role pays €60,000-€100,000 base/bonus + meaningful equity.
