Senior Frontend Engineer, Conversational & Gen UI

About the role

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA combining expert advisors with technology, offering a tailored wealth management experience. Its AI assistant answers advisor questions and drives workflows, and this role extends the assistant's interaction with the traditional UI platform and helps compose the interface itself. You will contribute to both the framework that enables it and the assistant.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver the assistant experience from prototype to production, the surface advisors use
• Build the underlying framework so any Farther surface can declare what the agent can do and see in a few lines
• Design the renderer that turns a model's output into a validated, submittable interface
• Negotiate and version the wire contract with the agent backend team and hold it with tests
• Treat developer experience as a first-class deliverable: design the API, document it, and measure it by how many teams build on it
• Mentor engineers and set the quality bar in review

Required profile

• 6+ years building production web applications, including time where the frontend was the product
• Expert-level frontend engineering, with strict typing as a daily practice
• Production experience with LLMs: agentic systems, tool calling, streaming responses, conversational interfaces
• Composition over configuration and modular, scalable frontend patterns
• Distributed systems fundamentals: timeouts, retries, idempotency, failure isolation
• Genuine product instincts and comfort switching between concurrent workstreams

Required skills

• React and TypeScript
• Python
• TanStack Query, react-hook-form, Zod
• Tailwind and CSS styling
• Testing Library, ESLint, Prettier, GitHub Actions CI
• Bonus: agent-to-ui frameworks, component libraries, AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudWatch), Vercel or similar platforms, LLM-driven code generation, wealth management products
