> Own the entire front-end for Volcano, building performant UI systems in Next.js for agent workflows, log views, charts, and LLM-driven tooling while integrating with Go backends.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Own the entire front-end surface of Volcano — from architecture decisions to the last pixel of a data visualisation — operating as the sole UI authority on the team
- Build log views, chart components, table interfaces, and graph-based agent workflow visualisations that are both technically precise and visually intentional
- Architect front-end systems within a Next.js monorepo that are performant, maintainable, and designed with the full-stack context in mind
- Drive collaborative pair design sessions with the broader team, iterating quickly and without attachment to prior work when product direction shifts
- Integrate with backend services built in Go — understanding auth flows, API contracts, and where the UI layer fits within the broader system architecture
- Contribute to the upcoming LLM-driven code generation and deployment flow, building web-based text editors, chat interfaces, and dynamic graph visualisations for agent orchestration
- Participate in PR reviews via GitHub, contributing to technical rigour and code quality across the codebase

## What You'll Bring
### The Toolkit
- 5+ years of production front-end engineering experience, with a demonstrable track record of owning UI systems end-to-end
- Server-side rendering expertise — deep, practical experience with SSR in a production context; Next.js is the team's primary framework, with Remix or TanStack Start considered equivalent
- React and monorepo proficiency — comfortable operating within large-scale monorepo structures and reasoning about cross-package dependencies
- Full-stack systems fluency — able to reason across authentication architectures, API design, and backend data flows
- Data-heavy UI delivery — experience building log views, chart systems, table interfaces, or graph/node visualisations at a level of quality that goes beyond functional
- AI/LLM working experience — you use AI tooling in your day-to-day development workflow as a matter of course

### The Kong DNA
- Ownership without ego — you form strong opinions on architecture and design, and you hold them lightly when the product direction changes
- Urgency with craft — you ship, and you care how it looks when it lands
- Collaborative by default — pair sessions, PR reviews, and cross-functional design work are how you do your best thinking

### Bonus Points
- Experience with Go or a working understanding of Go-based backend services
- Exposure to developer tooling, API platforms, or infrastructure-adjacent products (Vercel, Supabase, Netlify, Postman, or equivalent)
- Experience building web-based text editors, chat interfaces, or node/edge graph UIs
- Familiarity with LLM integration patterns — streaming responses, tool use, or agent orchestration in a UI context
