About the role
The Elastic IT team is shifting beyond standard chat interfaces to craft the next frontier of generative and agentic AI experiences. This role is a UX & Front End Engineer position that leverages AI technologies and the Elastic Stack (including ESRE, Agent Builder, Workflows and eUI) to build high-performance front-end applications for a suite of internal products and platforms. The engineer will bridge AI back-end engineers, product managers, and user groups to turn complex AI reasoning into seamless human-AI interactions.
What you will do
- AI UI/UX Design & Implementation: Translate complex generative and agentic AI processes into intuitive, responsive, and engaging front-end interfaces.
- Front-End Architecture: Design, build, and maintain front-end UI component libraries. These libraries should be scalable, accessible, and reusable and will be created for generative AI interactions. You will use modern frameworks like React and TypeScript.
- Human-AI Interaction Patterns: Prototype and implement novel interaction patterns for conversational AI, agent execution visibility (thought logs, tool calls), prompt systems, and rich dynamic outputs.
- Performance & Streaming Optimization: Optimize UI performance for real-time AI responses, managing token streaming latency, async state management, and optimistic UI updates.
- Enterprise Grounding & Integration: Connect front-end interfaces to internal services. This includes Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) endpoints. It also includes Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) and agent orchestration APIs.
- User-Centered Collaboration: Partner closely with UX designers, product managers, and AI backend engineers to iteratively test and refine AI workflows based on real user feedback.
- Accessibility & Design Systems: Ensure all front-end interfaces strictly adhere to web accessibility standards (WCAG) and align seamlessly with Elastic's core design system (EUI).
- AI Observability & UX Analytics: Implement front-end tracking to monitor user satisfaction, prompt effectiveness, interaction latency, and interface usability.
