Founding Front-End Engineer @SafetyKit

📍San Francisco - Onsite

About the company:

SafetyKit is on a mission to eliminate manual toil in software companies, starting with one of the most painful and expensive bottlenecks: risk reviews for platforms and fintechs. They’re building vertical AI that works—used in production by companies like Patreon, Eventbrite, Upwork, Character.ai, Substack, Faire, and more. Backed by Y Combinator, First Round Capital, Ribbit Capital, and are scaling fast.

About the role:

SafetyKit is looking for a Founding Front-End Engineer to take ownership of the dashboard and help shape the future of AI-powered risk automation. This is a foundational role for someone who thrives at the intersection of speed, simplicity, and design, and is excited to craft intuitive interfaces on top of powerful language model-driven systems.

In this role you’ll be:

• Own and evolve our front-end application end-to-end, with a focus on intuitive UX and fast iteration.
• Collaborate directly with AI and product teams to bring novel LLM capabilities to life—everything from ingredient extraction to adversarial web crawling.
• Turn language models into useful, beautiful, and production-ready interfaces.
• Move 10x faster than you did two years ago by leveraging codegen models and serverless infrastructure.
• Translate complex AI workflows into delightful, user-friendly products.

About you:

• Strong front-end engineering experience with React, TypeScript, and modern web design practices.
• A strong design sensibility and care for polish, usability, and simplicity.
• Experience owning a product or major component at a fast-growing startup.
• Comfortable collaborating across disciplines and operating with a high degree of independence.
• A builder mindset—you like moving quickly, taking risks, and learning fast.
• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier program is highly valued.
• You’re based in San Francisco or ready to relocate within 2 weeks (SafetyKit offers relocation support).
• You’re excited to work in-person 5 days/week and be part of a tight-knit, high-trust, high-velocity team.

Why this role:

• Direct ownership over the user-facing core of a high-growth AI startup.
• Collaborate with a world-class team of engineers from Stripe, Meta, Netflix, MIT, and Princeton.
• Make a visible, lasting impact on a product already in use by major platforms and fintechs.
• Be at the center of a paradigm shift—where AI agents do work previously thought to require humans.

Base Salary: $170k–$230k
