At AIAIAI we're looking for a Software Engineer specializing in Frontend Web Development to join our tech team.
Where could AIAIAI fit into your professional life?
First off, thank you for considering AIAIAI. Yes, we're looking for a Frontend Web Developer. And yes, there are plenty of other opportunities out there. If you're exploring your options, you might be thinking about growth, creativity, a sense of purpose, or just a healthier work-life balance. We get it—everyone wants their own version of a "perfect fit."
So here's why you might consider AIAIAI:
We're an early-stage startup with significant traction, on track to become cashflow positive this year—so there's no frantic chasing of funding to stay afloat. Our team is small (currently 10 of us) by design, and we plan to grow to around 15 by the end of the year to ensure profitability. From there, we'll scale linearly—about 1-2 new hires a month—depending on our sales results.
You'll be working with an experienced development team that's already built and scaled successful SAAS products. AIAIAI itself was born out of two sister companies, Lifely and Nucleoo, giving you access to a broader network of colleagues and experts in Amsterdam, Granada, and Madrid. We hope you look back in 20 years and say, "That's where I did some of the most impactful and fulfilling work of my life."
AI—yes, it's a buzzword filled with smoke and mirrors.
That's not us (or at least, we're trying not to be). Because no matter how slowly actual adoption might be happening, we're all being affected by AI in one way or another—teachers feeling the pressure to adapt, office employees expected to deliver more in less time. There's a huge segment of people, especially once you drive a bit outside big cities, who aren't "prompting" or tapping into AI to boost productivity. Their jobs—and the relevance of their employers—is at risk.
That's what we address at AIAIAI: helping everyday people use AI in a way that feels natural to them. We meet them where they are, instead of asking them to change. We've designed our product so that both employees and companies don't end up saying "AI AI AI" three years from now because they were blindsided. It's a product being used daily by users who'd typically fall into the late majority or even "laggards" on the adoption curve. And that's the mission you'd help drive: making a fast-changing world a bit more manageable for people who just need it to work.
What can you expect from the role?
As our Software Engineer specializing in Frontend Web Development, you'll craft exceptional user experiences and interfaces for our AI-powered platform. You'll be responsible for translating designs into responsive, interactive web applications while working closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers. You'll also help implement AI-powered user interfaces that make complex AI functionality accessible and intuitive for everyday users.
Responsibilities
1. Frontend Development: Build, test, and maintain user interfaces using modern frontend technologies (Svelte + TypeScript), ensuring responsive design and cross-browser compatibility.
2. UI/UX Implementation: Translate mockups and wireframes into high-quality, interactive web applications with attention to detail and user experience.
3. Performance Optimization: Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and accessibility across various devices and browsers.
4. AI Interface Design: Develop intuitive user interfaces for AI-powered features, making complex AI functionality accessible to users of all technical backgrounds.
5. Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, maintainable code following best practices, implement frontend testing strategies, and participate in code reviews.
6. API Integration: Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate frontend applications with RESTful APIs and real-time data sources.
7. Collaboration & Innovation: Work closely with design and product teams to iterate on user interfaces and contribute to the overall user experience strategy.
Who are you?
8. Frontend Expertise: 3+ years of experience in frontend development with strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (Svelte preferred, but React/Vue.js experience is valuable).
9. Modern Web Technologies: Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design principles, and CSS preprocessors/frameworks.
10. Development Tools: Experience with build tools (Vite, Webpack), package managers (npm/yarn), and version control (Git).
11. UI/UX Sensibility: Strong eye for design, understanding of user experience principles, and ability to work closely with designers to implement pixel-perfect interfaces.
12. Performance & Accessibility: Knowledge of web performance optimization techniques and accessibility standards (WCAG).
13. API Integration: Experience working with RESTful APIs and handling asynchronous data in frontend applications.
14. AI/ML Interest: Curiosity about AI technologies and experience building interfaces for AI-powered applications is a plus, but not required—we're happy to help you learn.
15. Communication Skills: Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
Don't let a partial skills match hold you back – if you have strong frontend fundamentals and eagerness to work with AI technologies, we want to see your application. We believe in learning through doing and value candidates who can grow with us.
What do we offer?
* Impact & Growth: Help shape how we onboard and retain clients at a crucial stage in AIAIAI's growth. Your success will directly influence our speed of scaling—and your own career trajectory.
* Location & Flexibility: Our office sits on the canals of Amsterdam, a hub of creativity and culture. As a rule of thumb, we believe it's beneficial to be in the office between 2 and 3 days per week, but we're not going to be a stickler about it.
* A Stable Early-Stage Environment: We're on track to become cashflow positive, so you're joining a startup with real traction (and less existential risk).
* Room to Innovate: We encourage you to bring your best ideas to the table within your contractual hours—minimal hustle-culture overdrive.
* Collaboration & Community: While we're a tight-knit group of 8, we're also connected to the larger networks of Lifely and Nucleoo of 120+ employees, offering broader collaboration opportunities.
Competitive Compensation
We offer a salary and benefits package aligned with your experience, with a target range between €50,000 and €70,000 (all-in). Since we don't have a direct benchmark for this role, we'll collaborate with you to ensure the offer is fair and competitive based on your expectations.
No sponsorship
Currently, we're unable to offer sponsorship. To be eligible for this position, applicants must possess either a Dutch work permit obtained independently of employment or be a citizen of the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
