Lead Frontend Engineer, AI Products (NYC)

About Evertune AI

Evertune is building the first AI discovery platform for modern marketers. As large language models (LLMs) become the go-to source for recommendations – we help brands understand exactly what AI is saying about them, where they stand against competitors, and how to show up more often in AI-powered answers. Our platform turns black-box AI behavior into actionable insights, so marketing teams can make faster, smarter decisions that drive growth.

Founded by leaders who helped scale The Trade Desk into the world’s leading ad tech platform, we bring deep expertise in digital advertising, data, and high-growth environments. Now, we’re pioneering a new category at the intersection of AI, SEO, and brand strategy.

We recently announced our $15M Series A led by Felicis Ventures, with support from Eniac, NextView, Roger Ehrenberg, and leaders from OpenAI, Google, Meta, Uber, and more. This gives us the momentum to move faster and build the first enterprise-grade AI marketing suite.

Backed by top-tier VC investors and trusted by forward-thinking brands,we have the resources to scale – but what really defines us is our culture. We move fast, think boldly, and believe the best ideas win regardless of title. If you're excited about shaping the future of how brands grow in the age of AI, you’ll thrive here.

Your Team

You’ll be joining Evertune’s software engineering team – small, focused, and deeply collaborative. We’re currently about ~10 team members across Seattle and New York, with a few contractors supporting specialized projects. While we span time zones, we operate with tight alignment and shared urgency. Our engineers optimize for high velocity: we ship fast, sweat the details, and genuinely enjoy building together.

As a foundational hire, you'll be helping to shape not just how we code – but how we grow, communicate, and scale.

Your Role

As the Lead Frontend Engineer at Evertune, you’ll shape the future of how marketers interact with AI. This is a hands-on player/coach role – ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of design, data, and engineering. You’ll build polished, performant interfaces across our platform while leading and managing a small team of junior engineers.

You’ll contribute directly to core product development, collaborate closely with our design and product leads, and bring thoughtful structure to the front-end stack. While you’ll operate primarily on the client side, you'll also work across our Python-based back end to deliver seamless, full-stack experiences.

This is a high-impact role for an engineer who wants both technical ownership and team-building responsibility in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. We’re looking for someone who thrives on building, leading, and taking full ownership – the kind of person who wants to grow a company, not just contribute to one.

We believe the future of analytics is AI-powered, dynamic, and adaptive – not static dashboards. We’re building interfaces that anticipate what matters and highlight it at the exact right moment. If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of UI/UX in the age of AI, and about creating cohesion across analytics, content, and creation tools, we’d love to have you lead the way.

Prior management experience is very strongly preferred – especially if you’ve led in a startup or hands-on environment. However, if you don’t yet have formal management experience but have a strong desire to grow others, lead by example, and have mentored teammates or interns, we still encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

• Lead and help build a small team while continuing to contribute code daily

• Design, develop, and ship intuitive, high-performance user interfaces using Vue.js and Vuetify

• Architect and deliver AI-first data interfaces that go beyond static dashboards – building dynamic, adaptive views that surface the most important insights in real time

• Own the challenge of bringing cohesion across multiple product areas into a unified, intuitive frontend experience

• Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineers to push the boundaries of how AI changes UI/UX, experimenting with new ways to make insights clear, actionable, and impactful

• Own and evolve front-end architecture, component systems, and code standards

• Partner with engineering team members to ensure clean API design and integration across the stack

• Create clarity and alignment across the distributed engineering team, and broader cross-functional teams

• Champion performance, accessibility, and responsive design across all products

• Manage and mentor junior engineers through thoughtful code reviews, pair programming, and coaching

• Help grow a team culture that values speed, craft, and candor – with high velocity as our north star
  

Requirements

• Must currently be located in the NYC area (in-office 3x/week, no relocation)

• Proven ability to ship meaningful products at high velocity – you know how to balance speed with quality in a startup-like environment

• Deep expertise with modern JavaScript frameworks – ideally Vue.js/Vuetify, but strong React or Angular experience is also welcome

• Track record of building data-rich, intuitive interfaces (analytics, dashboards, or similar) and thinking creatively about how to make complex information clear and actionable

• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and working alongside Python-based back-end systems (or similar)

• Comfort with cloud platforms (preferably GCP), CI/CD workflows, and performance monitoring

• Forward-thinking about how AI is changing UI/UX – whether that’s experimenting with AI-powered interfaces, incorporating LLMs into workflows, or just being obsessed with the space

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional settings with design, product, and business stakeholders

• Demonstrated ability to lead projects and influence technical direction; mentoring or management experience strongly preferred, especially in hands-on or startup environments

• Mindset of leverage: you use tools (including AI) to accelerate your own output and help others move faster

Nice to Have

• Strong preference for prior management experience in a hands-on startup environment – but very open to folks who have at least mentored juniors, interns, or peers.

• Familiarity with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases

• Experience building data-rich UIs or analytics dashboards

• Excitement about how AI changes UI/UX – and experience designing dynamic, adaptive interfaces for data/analytics products

• Exposure to the AI/LLM ecosystem or interest in large-scale model behavior

• Contributions to open-source projects or developer communities
