Fullstack Engineer - Frontend Focus
About the role
Inference.net is hiring a Senior Full-Stack (Frontend-Focused) Engineer
Help us build beautiful, performant web experiences that give users super-powers over our globally distributed LLM inference platform. If you love shipping React apps that feel snappy at planet-scale, we’d love to meet you.
About Inference.net
We combine idle GPU capacity from around the world into a single cohesive plane of compute capable of serving models like DeepSeek and Llama 4. At any moment, 5,000+ GPUs and hundreds of terabytes of VRAM are connected to our network.
We’re a small, well-funded team working in-person from downtown San Francisco (hybrid flexibility as needed). Investors include a16z CSX and Multicoin. We’re high-agency, collaborative, and obsessed with craft—whether that’s a distributed scheduler or a pixel-perfect UI.
What you’ll do
Own the user experience – design, build, and polish the dashboards, consoles, and customer-facing apps that let users observe, configure, and pay for inference at scale.
Ship end-to-end features – from Figma wireframe to React component to backend API and database migration.
Design a component system in React + Tailwind that supports rapid iteration and a cohesive design language.
Optimize performance – SSR, code-splitting, hydration, and WebSocket-driven real-time updates that hold up under millions of requests per day.
Collaborate across disciplines – work shoulder-to-shoulder with distributed-systems engineers, product designers, and founders to turn complex infrastructure into delightful product.
Level-up the team – lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and introduce best practices for testing, accessibility, and observability.
What we’re looking for
Must-Have
5+ years building production React applications
Deep knowledge of Tailwind CSS & modern CSS architecture
Typescript mastery and strong fundamentals in JS/DOM/APIs
Experience designing REST/JSON or gRPC backends (Node, Go, or similar)
AuthN/AuthZ design (OIDC, JWT)
Product sense: you care about UX details & accessibility
Nice-to-Have
Experience with Tanstack / Next.js
Data-viz libraries (Recharts, Visx, D3)
tRPC experience
Familiarity with GPU or ML tooling dashboards
Comfort debugging perf issues (Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools)
Dev-ops chops: CI/CD, Docker, Terraform
You don’t need to tick every “nice-to-have” box—curiosity and the ability to learn quickly matter more.
Compensation
Base salary: $120,000 – $180,000
Equity: significant early-stage grant
Benefits: full medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with match, generous PTO, commuter + hardware stipends, daily office lunch
How we work
We iterate fast, test in prod (safely!), and celebrate small wins. You’ll demo work twice a week, pair with systems engineers, and ship to users continuously. Most of us are in the office 3–4 days a week; remote candidates considered if time-zone compatible with Pacific hours.
