Arcade is building the world's first AI physical product creation platform, where imagination becomes reality. Our platform lets anyone design, purchase, and sell custom, manufacturable products using natural language and generative AI.
Requirements
- strong frontend foundations (TypeScript, React/Next.js) and enjoy crafting fast, reliable user interfaces
- experience owning production systems that interact with real users or real-world data
- excited about generative AI in the UI and have worked with LLM-powered features, multimodal inputs, or retrieval-backed experiences
- Proficiency with TypeScript, React, and Next.js (App Router preferred)
- Familiarity with styling approaches (CSS Modules/Tailwind), component composition, and design tokens
- Experience with testing and reliability for frontend (Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright or Cypress)
- Understanding of data fetching and caching (React Query/SWR), API integration, and edge runtimes (e.g., Vercel/GCP)
Responsibilities
- Design and build scalable frontend features in Next.js/TypeScript, including SSR/ISR, routing, and edge-aware data fetching
- Develop and maintain a reusable design system and component library; ensure accessibility (WCAG) and responsive layouts
- Implement real-time, AI-powered UX (streaming UIs, optimistic updates, background tasks) with robust state management
- Collaborate across backend/AI, product, and design to integrate new capabilities into polished, manufacturable product flows
- Optimize performance (Core Web Vitals), bundle size, caching, and client/server rendering paths
- Add thoughtful instrumentation, experiments, and UI quality gates (analytics, A/B tests, error and latency tooling)
- Contribute to a high-trust, high-velocity engineering culture
Other
- Currently in school with a background in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a similar field
- Must be available to start sometime between January and August 2026
- Move quickly from prototype to production and thrive in high-agency environments
- Care deeply about design details, accessibility, and user experience
- Bring energy, taste, and humility to everything they do
