The Opportunity
As a Senior Frontend Developer at JivPad, you will lead the development of the interfaces that define how people experience intelligent communication. JivPad is a modern communication platform powered by AI, enabling individuals with speech or hearing differences, and anyone who desires intelligent call assistance, to connect with confidence and authenticity. Our platform also delivers real-time translation for in-person conversations, removing language barriers entirely.
In this role, you will own the frontend architecture and set the technical standard for how our platform is built and experienced. You will design and implement complex real-time interfaces, mentor junior engineers, and make architectural decisions that will scale with the product as it grows. You will work closely with Design, Product, and Backend Engineering to deliver experiences that are performant, accessible, and unmistakably premium.
This is an opportunity to define the frontend foundation of a platform from the ground up, where your technical leadership will shape the experience of millions and set the bar for the engineering culture that follows.
What You'll Do
- Own and drive the frontend architecture, establishing patterns, tooling, and standards that enable the team to build with speed and confidence.
- Design and implement complex, real-time user interfaces including AI-assisted call controls, live translation experiences, and voice interaction flows.
- Lead the development and governance of JivPad's design system and component library, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and scalability.
- Mentor and elevate junior and mid-level frontend engineers through code reviews, pairing, and architectural guidance.
- Collaborate closely with Design, Product, and Backend Engineering to ensure seamless integration, technical feasibility, and delivery with fidelity.
- Optimise frontend performance, identifying and resolving rendering bottlenecks, bundle size issues, and interaction latency across devices.
- Champion accessibility at every level of the frontend, ensuring compliance with WCAG standards and an inclusive experience for all users.

About JivPad
JivPad is a modern communication platform built on the belief that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and in control of their own voice. Our AI-powered calling technology enables users to make phone calls with full autonomy, whether they choose to speak through AI using their own cloned voice, direct the conversation in real time via text, or seamlessly take over the call themselves. Our live translation feature allows people speaking different languages to converse naturally, in person, without delays or interruptions.
We are not building another AI calling tool. We are building the future of human connection, where technology amplifies who you are rather than replacing you.

We welcome dedicated individuals regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We believe that extraordinary products are built by extraordinary teams, and extraordinary teams are built on inclusion, respect, and the understanding that brilliance has no single origin.
If you require accommodation during the application or interview process, please reach out to our team and we will ensure your needs are met with care.
Let's build the future of communication, together.
