Frontend Engineer - Internal Tooling (Data Infra)
Luma AI
Software Engineering
London, UK
- Build the Internal Platform: Architect and maintain internal web applications and dashboards using React, Next.js, and Tailwind that visualize complex model data.
- Accelerate Research: Collaborate directly with research and engineering teams to understand their workflows and ship solutions that unblock their progress.
- Own the User Experience: Take ownership of the entire development lifecycle, from translating vague researcher needs into concrete UI/UX designs to shipping polished, intuitive tools.
- Full Stack Contribution: While primarily frontend focused, you will occasionally contribute to the Python/FastAPI backends that power our internal services.
- Iterate at Speed: Operate with short feedback loops, taking loose requirements from a researcher and turning them into working tools in days, not weeks.
- You have 1–2 years of frontend engineering experience with a solid grasp of React fundamentals.
- You are comfortable building UIs from scratch without hand-holding and have examples of shipping production web applications (side projects or professional).
- You are craft-oriented, write clean, readable code, and care about the details—you believe internal tools should feel as polished as consumer products.
- You are comfortable with ambiguity and can take a vague problem ("we need a way to look at these video outputs") and turn it into a functional tool.
- You are a clear communicator who works well asynchronously and can bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and user interface design.
- Some backend experience (Python, FastAPI, MongoDB, PostgreSQL).
- Familiarity with AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code to speed up your workflow.
- Experience with component libraries like shadcn/ui or Tailwind UI.
