Senior React Engineer

Full-time

Ditto Hire

React Engineer AI-Native Frontend | Build the Future of Professional Platforms

Ditto is building the next generation of recruitment and professional platforms, used by millions each month. We help staffing firms and hiring teams find, manage, and place top candidates with smart, beautiful software.

Now were launching something new.
AI-native.
Agent-driven.
Stealth.

Were looking for a React Engineer who understands that modern frontend is no longer just UI. Its automation, orchestration, agent interaction, and intelligent workflows.

If you want to build interfaces that sit on top of AI agents, automate real work, and ship fast with serious scale from day one, keep reading.

What Youll Do

  • Build modern, responsive UIs powered by AI-driven workflows

  • Design frontends that interact with agents, automations, and intelligent back-end services

  • Integrate AI features into real product flows, not gimmicks

  • Work closely with product and design to build fast, intuitive, opinionated experiences

  • Write clean, scalable components that support dynamic, AI-generated content

  • Implement automated test scripts and validation flows for AI interactions

  • Help define how our frontend talks to orchestration layers, APIs, and agent systems

  • Own performance, reliability, and developer experience

Must-Haves

  • Strong React + Next.js experience

  • Deep understanding of modern SPA architecture

  • REST APIs + JSON fluency

  • Node.js + NPM

  • Git (youre comfortable in real-world team repos)

  • Experience shipping real production software

  • Comfort working in fast-moving environments

Strong Bonus If Youve Worked With

  • AI agents, automation workflows, or LLM-powered features

  • Prompt orchestration patterns

  • Tool-calling flows or agent frameworks

  • Automated testing (Playwright, Cypress, Jest)

  • Scriptable workflows (Bash, CLI tools, automation tooling)

  • Cursor or AI-assisted coding tools

  • Performance tuning and caching strategies

  • Design systems and component libraries

  • Writing documentation that engineers actually read

If youve built interfaces that sit on top of AI, orchestration layers, or automation systems - thats a big plus.

The Type of Engineer We Want

  • You think in systems.
  • You dont panic when something becomes dynamic or unpredictable.
  • You understand that AI outputs require guardrails, validation, and good UX.
  • You care about performance and elegance.
  • You ship.

Why Join Ditto?

  • Ground-floor on a major AI-native product

  • Millions of users at launch

  • Real ownership. No bureaucracy.

  • Fast shipping cycles

  • Smart, opinionated builders

  • We build serious infrastructure. Not corporate fluff.

Were rethinking how professionals present themselves, connect, and build identity online.

If this feels like your kind of problem to solve, lets talk - youll be part of something fun. We build cool shit, not corporate fluff.
