I’m looking for a brilliant frontend engineer to join ShowMyAI at a really exciting stage.
ShowMyAI is building technology for good in education. We’re helping universities move beyond the broken, adversarial model of AI detection and towards something more positive: AI transparency, critical AI literacy, and student empowerment.
Students are already using AI. The question is whether education responds by policing them, or by helping them use it openly, responsibly and thoughtfully.
That’s what we’re building.
ShowMyAI gives students a way to evidence how they have used AI in their learning process, while giving educators visibility into the thinking, judgement and development behind the final submission. Longer term, we want this to become part of every student’s employability story: a portfolio of responsible AI use, critical thinking and digital confidence.
We already have strong university interest and are preparing for pilots this academic year. The core backend, AI and data architecture are in place, and you'll be working with Simon, who is a brilliant founding engineer.
Now we need to build the next layer of the product: a polished, scalable, modern frontend experience that students and educators love using.
The role
We’re looking for a frontend engineer, or frontend-leaning full stack engineer, who can help us build the next version of ShowMyAI.
This is a fully employed opportunity for an initial 3–6 month period, with the potential to become a long-term role depending on funding, revenue and fit.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll work closely with me and our backend engineer to create a modern frontend architecture for the product, starting with the student-facing portfolio experience and the key workflows needed for university pilots.
This is not just a “make it look nicer” role. We need someone who can think carefully about product, UX, architecture and maintainability, while still moving quickly in an early-stage startup environment.
What you’ll be working on
- Building a modern TypeScript frontend for ShowMyAI.
- Helping create the new student AI portfolio experience.
- Improving the existing user experience, interface and visual polish.
- Creating reusable components and the foundations of a design system.
- Working with backend APIs and helping define what the frontend needs.
- Supporting a cleaner separation between backend and frontend.
- Making the product accessible, responsive, performant and maintainable.
- Helping us iterate quickly from university, academic and student feedback.
- Using AI tools intelligently to speed up development, while still owning and reviewing the quality of the code.
What we’re looking for
We’re especially interested in someone with experience in:
- TypeScript.
- Vue/Nuxt, React/Next.js, SvelteKit or similar modern frontend frameworks.
- Component-based frontend architecture.
- Working with APIs.
- Building web apps from an early-stage or prototype state.
- UX thinking and strong attention to product quality.
- Accessibility and responsive design.
- Automated testing, ideally including Playwright or similar.
- Fast-moving startup or product environments.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Vue/Nuxt experience would be particularly useful, but we’re open to strong engineers from other modern frontend backgrounds.
You don’t need edtech experience, but you should care about building something genuinely useful, ethical and impactful.
The kind of person who would thrive here
This role would suit someone who enjoys early-stage product work.
You’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, able to make pragmatic technical decisions, and happy working in a small team where your contribution will have a huge impact.
We need someone who can move quickly without creating chaos, communicate clearly with a non-technical founder, and work collaboratively with an existing backend engineer.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who cares about the mission.
AI is changing education fast. We have a chance to build something that helps students become more transparent, more reflective and better prepared for the future of work.
If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, I’d love to hear from you.
Please send me a message with:
- Your CV or LinkedIn profile.
- A short note on why this interests you.
- Examples of frontend products, interfaces or web apps you’ve built.
- Any GitHub, portfolio or code samples you’re happy to share.
