Chicago, United States Outfit Labs Full time

We're a venture-backed early stage startup in Chicago exploring how AI can transform people's experiences. 

Although we’re still pre-market, we’re building products to help people see themselves in the world around them. We believe the following:

  • That humans are unique and deserve to be heard and listened to
  • That where folks choose to go - or stay, or eat, or work, or play, you get the idea - ought to be a reflection of who they are as a person
  • That new advancements in technology can make our collective experiences more human and personal, not less

If you share any of our beliefs - or our love for people, maps, recommendations, and listening - then we’d love to talk to you

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Software Engineer experienced in React, NextJS and Tailwind with true startup spirit to join our small team. You'll have the opportunity to shape a product from the ground up and potentially transform an entire industry.

What You'll Do

  • Work on Outfit’s flagship product adding customer facing features.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product and design teammates on concepting and scoping new features.
  • Translate designs into functional, high-performance code.
  • Design and implement new UI components.
  • Work independently from development to deployment.
  • Connect the frontend with backend APIs.
  • Implement real-time data updates for AI-driven features.
  • Optimize the UI for interactions with AI models.
  • Maintain frontend testing and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Participate in code reviews.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production issues.

Requirements

About You

  • Self-starter mentality: You take initiative and drive projects forward independently
  • Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive in a fluid, fast-paced environment where requirements may change rapidly
  • Adaptability: You're ready to pivot quickly and learn new technologies as needed
  • Ownership mindset: You treat the company's success as your personal mission
  • Hunger for learning: You're constantly seeking to improve your skills and stay at the cutting edge of AI/ML advancements
  • Actively listening: You’re constantly learning from customers and data and not afraid to form opinions about your observations.

Your Technical Skills

  • 4+ years of frontend development experience.
  • Detail-oriented with a consideration for customer impact on every feature.
  • Proficient in React and TypeScript.
  • Experience with Next.js and API integrations.
  • Strong knowledge of modern CSS (including Tailwind) and responsive design.
  • Mobile-first development approach.
  • Familiar with frontend testing methodologies.
  • Clear technical communication skills, including documentation.
  • Continuous learning mindset.

Benefits

Our Values

  • Listen First: We are curious, empathetic, and authentic. We listen to our teammates and show up prepared to be listened to. We talk to our customers and prove hypotheses using data. We are inclusive and open-minded. We leave our egos at the door and win as a team
  • Build with Optimism: We take big swings and bias toward action. We prioritize the hardest puzzles knowing great things require persistence. We invent products, concepts, and ways of working, celebrating both the successes and the learnings.
  • Leave it Better: We want a better world for our kids. We don't stay in our lanes - we take out our trash, comment on each other's code, engage in healthy debate, and build things we can be proud of. We use AI responsibly.

Why Join Outfit Labs?

  • Be part of a small team changing how people experience the world.
  • Work on challenging problems at the intersection of AI and human experience.
  • Flexible work environment with a focus on work-life balance.
  • Access to cutting-edge AI tools to boost your productivity.
  • Medical, Vision, and Dental benefits.

We're looking for people ready to roll up their sleeves and build something extraordinary. If you're excited about turning a vision into reality and willing to put in the work, we'd love to hear from you.

Even if you don't meet every requirement, we'd still like to hear from you. We're seeking individuals eager to learn and grow with us.
