Frontend AI UI Engineer - job 1 of 2

Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to get work done.

There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional customer and employee experiences.

Agentic UI Development

• Build interactive visual editors (drag-and-drop) for agent orchestration and reasoning workflows (LangGraph visualization). 
• Implement prompt management, versioning, and testing interfaces for agent development.
• Develop real-time debugging tools to visualize agent reasoning traces, tool invocations, and dialog flows. 
• Integrate UI components with LangSmith APIs for agent observability, evaluations, and regression testing. 

User Simulation & Testing Interfaces

• Implement user simulation frameworks for testing agent strategies with varied personas and scenarios 
• Build A/B testing dashboards for evaluating outcome-driven strategies across agents and prompts. 
• Create UIs for multi-turn conversation playback, agent state inspection, and scenario-driven outcome analysis. 

Dialog Orchestration & Multi-Channel Experience 

• Develop dialog flow editors to design multi-turn conversations with branching, context retention, and hierarchical dialogs. 
• Build deployment interfaces to configure assistants across digital channels (chat, web, messaging) and voice/IVR systems

Core UI Framework & Architecture

• Collaborate with the architect to define frontend design patterns, state management, and modular UI frameworks. 
• Integrate frontend with backend APIs, agent runtimes, and real-time event streams.
• Ensure UI scalability, performance optimization, and secure multi-tenant design for enterprise usage. 

Collaboration & Developer Experience

• Partner with backend engineers to integrate APIs and orchestration services into the UI seamlessly. 
• Work closely with UX designers to deliver high-quality, intuitive user interfaces aligned with AI/agent workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building low-code/no-code interfaces for AI or developer platforms
• Familiarity with LangSmith and agent observability tooling integration in UI workflows
• Exposure to conversational UI/UX design for chat and voice assistants
• Prior experience with real-time collaborative editing (CRDTs, Yjs, or similar frameworks)
