About Shelf

The enterprise is going agentic — but most AI agents fail when they hit real business complexity. Shelf is changing that.

We’ve built the operating system for agentic AI: a platform that models your policies, workflows, and operational logic into an AI Data Model so agents don’t just respond — they reason. The result? AI that understands how your business actually runs and delivers precise, compliant, auditable outcomes at scale.

Brands like Amazon, Nespresso, HelloFresh, and KeyBank trust Shelf to power AI agents that resolve 85% of cases autonomously, cut handle times by 20–25%, and turn hours-long processes into seconds. We’re partnered with Microsoft, Salesforce, OpenAI, Snowflake, and Databricks — and recognized by Gartner (Cool Vendor) and IDC (Innovator) for our approach.

If you want to sell the infrastructure that makes agentic AI actually work in the enterprise, you’re in the right place.

Our mission is to empower humanity with better answers everywhere.

Senior Frontend React Developer:

As a Frontend Engineer at Shelf, you'll craft the interfaces that make enterprise AI accessible and trustworthy. While others are building chatbots, we're solving the harder problem: how do you build UIs that help users confidently navigate AI-powered systems processing millions of documents, while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability?

You won't just build React components — you'll architect production-ready Next.js applications that handle high-load scenarios with complex states, real-time AI streaming, and multiple layers of enterprise functionality. Every interface decision you make directly impacts how knowledge workers at the biggest companies in the market interact with their most critical information.

This is frontend engineering at its most demanding. You'll tackle challenges like building real-time streaming interfaces for LLM responses, architecting state management for concurrent AI operations across multiple tenants, creating accessible interfaces for complex knowledge graphs with thousands of nodes, and ensuring blazing fast interactions even with petabytes of searchable content. Your components will bridge everything from enterprise authentication systems to cutting-edge AI models, requiring both sophisticated technical skills and sharp product instincts.

We obsess over frontend quality because we're building the trust layer for AI itself. When your interfaces gracefully handle edge cases, provide clear feedback during AI processing, and remain performant under load, you're not just meeting UX standards - you're directly enabling users to trust AI-powered answers and make critical business decisions with confidence.

You'll work on production SSR applications serving thousands of enterprise users, implementing localization for global markets, ensuring accessibility compliance, and maintaining security standards that pass SOC 2 audits. Your code will integrate with our Elasticsearch clusters, DynamoDB tables, and Aurora PostgreSQL databases through the largest park of REST APIs, handling real-time websocket updates for AI streaming and collaborative features.

We're a product company that ships fast without compromising on lasting quality. You'll work alongside proactive, ever-learning engineers who actively use AI coding assistants (OpenAI Codex, Claude Code) to accelerate development. We build custom MCP servers, implement DSPy pipelines for LLM optimization, and experiment with different AI tools for implementation. In our environment, AI isn't just what we build — it's how we build.

The best engineers we know are drawn to problems that matter. If you're excited by the challenge of building interfaces that make the AI revolution actually usable and trustworthy for enterprise users, this role offers the rare combination of technical depth, meaningful impact, and the prestige of solving UX patterns that the industry hasn't figured out yet.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement production-ready Next.js SSR applications with complex state management, handling high-load scenarios and real-time AI interactions at scale
• Build interfaces for AI-powered features including streaming LLM responses, semantic search across millions of documents, interactive knowledge graphs, intelligent content recommendations, and AI agentic builders
• Architect component libraries and maintain our design system in Storybook, ensuring reusability, accessibility, and consistent UX patterns across the platform
• Develop enterprise-grade functionality including multi-language support, accessibility compliance, cross-browser compatibility, and security implementations that meet SOC 2 standards
• Create comprehensive technical specifications and component API designs that clearly communicate interface decisions, performance trade-offs, and accessibility considerations
• Build and optimize data-heavy UIs using React Flow for node-based graphs, Highcharts for analytics visualizations, and custom virtualization for handling large datasets
• Instrument components for performance monitoring, track Core Web Vitals, implement error boundaries, and build automated visual regression tests with Playwright
• Take full ownership of the features you build, monitoring their performance in production, optimizing bundle sizes, and ensuring they scale gracefully as user load grows
• Work with SWR for intelligent data fetching, caching, and revalidation strategies that minimize API calls while keeping UIs responsive and data fresh
• Integrate with backend services via REST APIs, handle websocket connections for real-time updates, and implement optimistic UI patterns for seamless user experiences
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development while maintaining high code quality, and contribute to building internal AI agents that automate frontend workflows
• Stay current with React ecosystem best practices, Next.js updates, AI UX patterns, and modern frontend architecture—experiment with new approaches and share findings with the team
• Contribute to our engineering standards and practices through thoughtful code reviews, mentor colleagues on frontend best practices, and actively participate in our culture of continuous learning

Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional frontend engineering experience, including more than 3 years specializing in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
• Production Next.js experience - you've built and shipped SSR applications at scale, understand app router patterns, server components, and the trade-offs between SSR, SSG, and CSR

Our Values:

Quality - We’re united by our focus on world‑class Quality. Quality in all things – starting with everything that leaves your desk. Everything you touch – every email, report, campaign, and piece of code – should be outstanding. Your work product should blow people away. Having people look at what you’ve done and say, “Wow.” That’s the standard here. Remember that how you do anything is how you do everything. Focus on craftsmanship—your ability to make things better.

Momentum - for us means that you should know that the things you’re responsible for are moving forward. When you look around and see something that’s stalled, get it moving again. We pride ourselves on “ball movement.” When your boss or team leaves you with something, they should return to see measurable progress. Small, continuous movement is our recipe for success. Constantly look for how to make the work around you move forward. We want you to initiate solutions, ideas, and progress. Don’t wait for it to come to you—reach out and create movement. All the time.

Accountability - We expect every team member to feel that they are accountable for more than anyone might normally expect. Each of us should feel real responsibility for things even at the edge of our control. We consistently share and align on expectations, give each other open and respectful feedback, and use those two drivers to ensure that every agreement we make with one another is clear and complete.

Hard Work - We’re here to do something difficult together. We care intensely about the mission and we expect that from our teammates. That care means that we work hard here. Hard work comes with long hours, extra effort…and real opportunity at Shelf. Your passion for creating and sustaining output is a part of our DNA. Support each other, cheer each other on, drive the mission forward. Great teams sustain intense effort together to win.

Learning Agility - We’re innovating in one of the fastest‑moving spaces in history at a time of accelerating global change. That’s incredibly exciting and requires each of us to commit fully to learning each and every day so that we can be the best at what we do. None of us know everything. All of us can learn anything. Staying open and constantly curious is a key success driver at Shelf. It also requires humility. We prize people who are consistently humble and open to making mistakes and growing from them. Recognize also that learning itself is a skill…we need you to be really good at it. Keep dialing in your own understanding about how you learn best and push yourself to keep growing.

Adapt and Thrive - Overcoming challenges lives deep in our DNA. We have a proud history of understanding and living the reality that obstacles are our opportunities…they’re the key to our success. Change is a constant in our business and fighting change is counterproductive. We need you to be good at being uncomfortable and understand that discomfort is the key to growth. Cultivate your own ability to adapt and know that struggling well is something you’ll share with every team you’re on at Shelf. Our company stories are about thriving through real difficulty…together.

Win Together - We win or lose as a team. Always. Everything you do here is connected to the rest of the organization. Part of our shared team environment demands full honesty…real candor and directness with one another. We expect you to constantly be thinking about how to support your teammates and the company, always acting in service to our shared mission and what’s best for the organization as a whole.
