Founding Frontend Engineer

Own the editor, the live preview, and the small moments that make building feel like magic.

Remote
Full-time
Engineering

Short version - You will own the builder surface: editor, live preview, command flow, and the details that make generated software feel under control.

Why Mythos?

Mythos is early enough that the frontend is still a product decision, not a skin over APIs.

This role sits next to design, agent engineering, and runtime work, so you can shape the whole creation loop instead of polishing one corner.

What you will shape

  • Ship fast, resilient React and TypeScript surfaces for the editor, preview, project shell, and generation states.

  • Make loading, errors, diffs, deploys, and empty states feel calm and useful.

  • Partner with agent and platform engineers to expose complex systems through simple, trustworthy UI.

  • Raise the quality bar through performance work, interaction detail, and tight product judgement.

What makes you strong here

  • You have shipped complex product interfaces, not only marketing pages.

  • You care about latency, keyboard flow, copy, focus states, and the invisible pieces that make tools feel professional.

  • You can prototype quickly, then harden the right version without turning the codebase into a museum.

  • You are comfortable owning ambiguous product work from sketch to production.

How we hire

  • A short intro call focused on fit, motivation, and the work you want to do.

  • A practical craft conversation with the people closest to the role.

  • A work sample or paid trial when it is useful to see the collaboration style in motion.

  • A final founder conversation about ownership, pace, and how you want to shape Mythos.
