Senior Frontend Engineer, Conversational and Generative UI

Company DescriptionFarther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience. Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders. Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you. The RoleFarther's AI assistant answers advisor questions and drives the product on their behalf — navigating, opening workflows, and more. This role continues and deepens the interaction between the assistant and our traditional UI platform. Next, it composes the interface itself. You will contribute to both the framework that makes that possible and the assistant itself. You are not designing screens, you are designing the system that decides what a screen can be, and the guardrails for the moment it is handed something nobody anticipated. Your ImpactDeliver the assistant experience, prototype → production — the surface advisors reach for, and the thing every other item on this list exists to make possibleBuild the framework underneath it, so any Farther surface can declare what the agent can do and what it can see in a few linesDesign the renderer that turns a model's output into a real, validated, submittable interface, extensible so a new kind of input is additive and never a refactorNegotiate and version the wire contract with the agent backend team, and hold both sides to it with testsTreat developer experience as a first-class deliverable — design the API, document it, and judge it by how many teams build on it without asking you for helpMentor the engineers coming up behind you and set the quality bar in reviewThe Ideal Match6+ years building production web applications, including time somewhere the frontend was the productExpert-level frontend engineering, where strict typing is how you already workProduction experience with LLMs — agentic systems, tool calling, streaming responses, conversational interfaces — and a point of view on what an interface owes a user when the model is slow, wrong, or halfway through an answerComposition over configuration; modular, scalable frontend patterns are how you think by defaultDistributed systems fundamentals — timeouts, retries, idempotency, failure isolationGenuine product instincts — you care about the user experience, and raise ambiguity as a decision rather than absorbing it as a guessFluent in an AI-assisted development loop — building with Claude Code, shipping through Git-based PRs and automated reviewEnd-to-end ownership and a track record of meeting deadlinesStrong knowledge-sharing / documentation habitComfortable context-switching across multiple concurrent workstreamsTechnical StackReact · TypeScript · PythonTanStack Query · react-hook-form · ZodStyling — Tailwind and CSSUI modules built and deployed independently, then assembled into one applicationTesting Library · ESLint · Prettier · GitHub Actions CIBonus PointsUsed or extended a framework for agent-to-UI communication, and can say precisely where it stopped being enoughBuilt and versioned a component library other teams depended on, and know what a breaking change costs once they have all imported itAWS fluency — Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudWatchEngineering platform or internal tooling — Vercel, an internal PaaS, or the developer platform at your last companyTurned LLMs on how your own team builds: codegen, large-scale migrations, spec-to-code pipelinesWealth management, financial services, or analytics products dense with numbers people act on — including the craft that keeps them fast: profiling, bundle size, render performanceWhy Join UsLearn & grow through book clubs, seminars, and peer learning sessionsCompetitive comp package that rewards impactWork alongside some of the brightest minds in fintechGround-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startupChart your own growth path as we expandFull health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA optionsUnlimited PTOAn amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems togetherReady to disrupt wealth management?
