About our Company

We’re a small team of engineers, creatives, and researchers building new kinds of interactive experiences powered by AI. We’re launching The Interface: a platform for expressive, real-time characters that people can talk to and explore shared worlds alongside. It’s a mix of entertainment and social.

We just wrapped up YC (S25) and raised a sizeable seed round from top investors. Max (CEO) studied MechE at MIT, previously led AI initiatives at McKinsey; Peyton (CTO) is an MIT CS grad and former quant at Citadel. We’re setting up in NYC — a hacker house-style space — and moving quickly toward launch.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Creative Front-End Technologist to design and build interactive product experiences with polish, motion, and style. You’ll own the user-facing layer of The Interface — creating immersive, entertainment-grade surfaces that feel alive and engaging.

This role is a mix of front-end development, motion design, and graphic creativity. You’ll work across interfaces, interactive animations, and visual assets — everything from dynamic UI to the creative materials that shape how our brand is experienced by users. You’ll also collaborate with our design partners, translating ideas into both interactive products and striking visuals.

What You’ll Do

Build and ship interactive product surfaces with wow-factor polish
Use creative tools and frameworks (Rive, Figma, etc.) to bring motion and life to the product
Prototype and experiment with new UI/UX concepts, shipping them quickly into production
Develop visual assets and creative treatments that carry across product and brand
Collaborate with AI and rendering engineers to connect visuals with behavior
Work closely with design partners to bring sketches and concepts to interactive reality
Help develop our cohesive design language to make our platform feel immersive and unforgettable

You Might Be a Fit If You

Have 3–6+ years of front-end or creative technology experience
Care deeply about polish, motion, and the feel of interactions
Are fluent in front-end frameworks (React or similar)
Have hands-on experience with animation/motion tools (Rive, Figma, and more)
Strong visual sensibilities with experience in graphic or brand design
Bring a creative technologist mindset — blending design, animation, and code
Enjoy rapid prototyping and iterating in a fast-paced, experimental environment

Why Join Us

You’ll be one of the first 5 team members
You’ll work directly with the founders (MIT backgrounds, bias to action)
We just raised a sizeable seed round and are backed by top investors
You’ll own the look and feel of our product and GTM experiences
We’re building an entertainment product and want to have fun doing it
