The Role

As a Frontend Software Engineer on the Document Intelligence team, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and delivering intuitive and interactive user interfaces tailored specifically for Hebbia's document-first AI applications, such as our Browse platform, enabling intelligent document discovery across private data. Your key challenge will be crafting user interfaces that provide explainability, steerability, and interruptibility, essential for effectively engaging with sophisticated, agentic AI systems. You will lead major frontend features from conceptualization through deployment, closely collaborating with cross-functional teams of engineers, AI experts, and designers to architect scalable solutions, build robust interactive experiences, and ensure seamless reliability and performance. Your technical creativity, user-centered design thinking, and exceptional problem-solving skills will directly shape the usability, effectiveness, and innovation of Hebbia’s AI-driven document discovery applications.

Responsibilities

1. Be an owner . We are a small and growing team relying on each and every engineer to provide significant coverage.


2. Build without prior art. Agentic interfaces do not have templates or pre-existing guidelines to rinse and repeat - you will be setting the standard for an industry.


3. Own critical system components. Take complex requirements and turn them into robust, scaled solutions that solve real customer needs.


4. Unlock meaningful customer value. Our customers aren’t using Hebbia for the gimmick - they unlock market moving value. You will be responsible for unlocking this Alpha.
