Over 70,000 developers — from early-stage startups to the U.S. Government — use Sim to turn ideas into production-grade agentic workflows on a visual, Figma-like canvas. We connect to 1,000+ apps and LLMs, and our Copilot is the state of the art for building workflows with natural language.We're a team of 5, YC X25, and backed by a $7M Series A led by Standard Capital with participation from Paul Graham, Perplexity, SV Angel, and Y Combinator. We're based in San Francisco and build in person every day.Our mission is simple: agents will run the world, and Sim is the primary means by which that happens.About The RoleYou'll lead the Sim platform: the visual, end-to-end agent builder that tens of thousands of developers use every day. You'll own the front-end architecture, the real-time canvas, and the systems that turn visual flows into reliable, production agents.Sim has been called the \"Figma for AI agents\" — an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas where developers connect LLMs, tools, APIs, and logic blocks into complex agentic workflows. Your job is to make this experience fast, delightful, and powerful enough that developers never want to go back to writing agents in code.This is a foundational role. You'll define the front-end architecture, set performance standards, and shape the developer ergonomics of a product used by 70,000+ builders. On a team of 5, you own the entire surface area that developers interact with.What You'll DoOwn the Sim visual canvas — the real-time, drag-and-drop workflow editor at the heart of the productArchitect and build the front-end systems that render, connect, and manage complex agent workflowsDesign the interaction model for how developers create, test, debug, and deploy agents visuallyBuild the bridge between visual flows and the underlying execution engine — ensuring what you see is what runsDrive performance and responsiveness across the editor, even as workflows grow in complexityShape developer ergonomics and UX patterns across the platform — block configuration, variable wiring, real-time feedback, deployment flowsWork across the stack in our Next.js monorepo when needed, shipping to production dailySet front-end standards for the codebase — component architecture, state management, testing patternsWhat We're Looking ForDesign-minded full-stack engineer with deep React and TypeScript experienceStrong sense of product and UX — you care deeply about how things feel, not just how they workExperience building complex, interactive UIs — canvas editors, real-time collaborative tools, visual programming environments, or similarly demanding front-end systemsTrack record of shipping polished developer tools or creative tools to productionDeep understanding of front-end performance — you know how to keep complex interfaces fast and responsiveHigh agency and ownership — on a team this small, you define the roadmap as much as you execute itComfort working across the stack in a Next.js monorepo; backend work is part of the jobExperience with real-time systems (WebSockets, CRDTs, or similar) is a plusExperience with AWS infrastructure is a plusContributions to open-source projects are a plusWhy SimFoundational impact.
