The company (Noon): A well-funded startup building an AI-powered design tool for product teams. Backed by big-name investors and ex-leaders from OpenAI, Meta, Google, Stripe, etc.
The role: They want a senior frontend engineer — the "go-to" technical leader for everything on the frontend (the part of the software users actually see and click). This person writes code hands-on and sets the long-term technical direction.
The hard problems you'd solve:
- Keeping the app fast even when the design canvas has thousands of AI-generated elements on it (think: a giant, busy whiteboard that shouldn't lag).
- Building real-time collaboration — multiple people editing the same design at once, like Google Docs or Figma.
What you'd actually do day-to-day:
- Decide how the codebase is structured and how data flows through it.
- Own performance — make sure it doesn't slow down or eat memory during long sessions.
- Set quality standards (testing, monitoring) so new code doesn't break existing features ("zero regressions").
- Work with design, product, and backend teams on tradeoffs.
- Mentor other engineers and raise the team's skill level.
Who they want:
- 10+ years building web apps; 2–4 of those leading frontend architecture.
- Expert in React and TypeScript (the core tools for building modern web interfaces).
- Has built complex UIs before — editors, canvases, node-based tools (very relevant to a design app).
- Deep knowledge of "state management" (tools like Zustand/Redux that track and sync everything happening in the app).
- Proven at making apps fast under real-world load.
The offer:
- Top ~1% Bengaluru pay, meaningful equity, best-in-class family health insurance.
- Fully in-office, full-time, at their WeWork in Marathahalli, Bangalore. Small, tight-knit, high-ownership team.
Bottom line: a senior, hands-on frontend leadership role at an AI design startup — ideal for someone who's both a top-tier React/TypeScript engineer and can steer architecture and mentor a team. Note the in-office Bangalore requirement, which rules it out for remote-only candidates.
