Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We're assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist.
As a Frontend Engineer, you will help build our âintegrated research environmentâ and design a UX that empowers scientists to integrate AI into their discovery process.
This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Our office is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, open space, and a team that genuinely believes in what they're building.
This position is part of the Platform team.Â
Architect, design, implement, and optimize the front-end for our scientific discovery platform with a focus on performance and scalable UI patterns.
Translate complex AI-driven scientific workflows into clear, intuitive, and well-signposted user experiences.
Work closely with product and research teams to anticipate user needs and features.
Develop and maintain a modular design system.
Profile and optimize rendering performance, asset loading, and interaction responsiveness across browsers and devices.
Integrate real-time data visualizations and dynamic interfaces to empower scientists on our platform.
Conduct code reviews, enforce engineering best practices, and contribute to front-end architecture decisions.
4+ years of professional experience in front-end engineering, with a track record of shipping performant, complex, and data visualization-heavy web applications.
Proficiency with React (preferred) or a comparable framework, along with deep experience in JavaScript/TypeScript.
Strong understanding of browser rendering pipelines, performance profiling, and optimization techniques.
Experience with real-time data handling (e.g., WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions) and interactive visualizations (e.g., D3.js, Deck.gl, Three.js).
Ability to transform technical and scientific requirements into elegant, usable visualizations & interfaces.
Experience building design systems and reusable component libraries.
Knowledge of accessibility standards and responsive design principles.
Experience with scientific data visualization, computational biology, or AI/ML tools.
Familiarity with back-end integration patterns for high-throughput data pipelines.
