Job description

Building the Interface to the Future of Game Development 🎮✨

GameFrame AI is transforming game development through natural language AI interaction. We're building the first conversational interface that enables developers - from hobbyists to indie studios - to create professional games by simply describing what they want.

The Challenge : Design and build sophisticated real-time interfaces that seamlessly blend conversational AI with game development workflows, supporting multi-agent coordination, real-time streaming responses, and complex interactive visualizations - all while maintaining sub-second response times for 100+ concurrent users.

The Role 🚀

As our Senior Frontend AI Engineer , you'll architect and build the user-facing experience for GameFrame's revolutionary AI platform. You're not just building traditional web UIs - you're creating entirely new interaction patterns that make complex AI agent orchestration and data visualization feel natural and intuitive.

This role requires deep expertise in AI-first frontend architectures and advanced interactive visualizations , where every component is designed around streaming responses, complex data structures, and real-time multi-agent coordination.

What You'll Build 🔧

Advanced Conversational AI Interfaces

  • Architect CopilotKit-powered split-screen experiences with AI chat (30%) and contextual content (70%)
  • Build sophisticated streaming response handlers for token-by-token LLM output with backpressure management
  • Implement multi-agent conversation threading where users can interact with specialized agents simultaneously
  • Create intelligent conversation branching for exploring different game development approaches

Complex Data Visualization & Interactive Graphics

  • Build scalable SVG and Canvas-based visualization systems for hierarchical project data and milestone tracking
  • Implement interactive radial / circular layout algorithms with dynamic positioning, collision detection, and smooth animations
  • Create graph-based conversation flow visualizations with branching paths, decision trees, and state management
  • Design real-time collaborative canvas systems supporting multi-user interactions with conflict resolution
  • Develop performance-optimized rendering for complex nested data structures with thousands of interactive elements
  • Game Development-Specific AI UX

  • Design project state synchronization between AI conversations and real-time game engine changes
  • Build Pixel Streaming integration with WebRTC for seamless game preview within AI workflows
  • Create configuration diff visualizations showing before / after states of AI-driven game modifications
  • Implement collaborative workflows for team-based game development with AI assistance
  • Your Technical Expertise 💻

    Required : AI-First Frontend Development

  • 5+ years building production React applications with modern TypeScript
  • CopilotKit experience including custom context providers, server-side actions, and real-time streaming integration
  • Advanced streaming architectures with custom React hooks for LLM responses (useCompletion, useChat patterns)
  • WebSocket / SSE mastery for real-time AI communications with proper connection management and fallback strategies
  • Required : Interactive Visualization & Graphics

  • Advanced SVG manipulation with dynamic path generation, complex transforms, and performance optimization
  • Canvas 2D / WebGL experience for high-performance custom visualizations and interactive graphics
  • Data visualization expertise with D3.js, custom charting libraries, or similar frameworks for complex hierarchical data
  • Layout algorithm implementation including force-directed graphs, circular layouts, tree structures, and collision detection
  • Animation and interaction systems with smooth transitions, gesture handling, and responsive user interactions
  • Required : Modern Frontend Excellence

  • React 18+ expertise including Suspense, concurrent features, and advanced patterns
  • Next.js 14+ proficiency with app router, server components, and streaming
  • State management expertise with Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or similar for complex AI application state
  • Performance optimization for real-time applications including virtualization, memoization, and bundle optimization
  • Required : Real-Time Systems

  • WebRTC integration for pixel streaming and media handling
  • Advanced WebSocket patterns including reconnection logic, message queuing, and state synchronization
  • Streaming response handling with chunk processing, backpressure, and error recovery
  • What Makes You Exceptional 🌟

    AI-First Design Thinking

    You understand that building for AI requires fundamentally different patterns than traditional web development. You think in terms of streaming responses , probabilistic outcomes , and context-aware interfaces .

    Complex Visualization Engineering

    You have deep experience building custom data visualization systems from scratch, not just using pre-built chart libraries. You understand layout algorithms, performance optimization for thousands of interactive elements, and can implement smooth animations while maintaining 60fps.

    Mathematical & Algorithmic Thinking

    You can implement graph algorithms , spatial partitioning systems , and collision detection directly in JavaScript. You think computationally about UI problems and can optimize complex rendering operations.

    Real-Time Systems Expertise

    You've built applications where every millisecond matters . You understand the complexities of WebSocket management, streaming data handling, and maintaining responsive UIs under heavy real-time processing loads.

    You'll Struggle If You ❌

  • Prefer traditional CRUD interfaces over complex real-time AI interactions
  • Need detailed mockups rather than designing novel interaction patterns
  • Are uncomfortable with AI uncertainty and prefer deterministic user flows
  • Avoid performance optimization for real-time applications
  • Dislike rapid prototyping in favor of perfectly planned designs
  • Technical Environment 🛠️

    Frontend Core Stack

  • Framework : React 18+ with TypeScript, Next.js 14+
  • AI Interface : CopilotKit for conversational UI patterns
  • State : Zustand for global state, React Query for server state
  • Styling : Tailwind CSS + Ant Design components
  • Visualization & Graphics Stack

  • SVG : Advanced manipulation with dynamic path generation and transforms
  • Canvas : 2D context and WebGL for high-performance custom visualizations
  • Data Viz : D3.js for complex layouts, custom charting libraries
  • Animation : Framer Motion, CSS transforms, custom easing functions
  • Math : Custom algorithms for graph layouts, spatial indexing, collision detection
  • AI Integration Layer

  • Streaming : Custom hooks for LLM token streaming
  • WebSocket : Real-time agent communication and state sync
  • AI Frameworks : LangChain.js, custom AI response handling
  • Media : WebRTC for pixel streaming, canvas manipulation
  • Compensation & Benefits 💰

    Base Salary : Commensurate with AI frontend experience

    Equity : Potential equity package with high growth potential

    Benefits Package :

  • Health, dental, vision with company contribution
  • Flexible PTO and remote / hybrid work arrangements
  • Professional development budget for frontend and AI conferences
  • Hardware stipend for development equipment and testing devices
  • Unique Perks :

  • Conference speaking opportunities on AI interface innovation
  • Design system ownership for a revolutionary product category
  • Direct user feedback from passionate game development community
  • Creative project support for personal game development experiments
  • Create a job alert for this search
