About the client

Our client is a VC-backed startup on a mission to transform how design teams create branded content through generative AI. They're building a world-class AI team that blends cutting-edge research with product-driven engineering to create tools that designers love.

They value autonomy, technical excellence, and bold thinking. If you're excited to push the boundaries of what's possible in generative AI while delivering tangible impact, they'd love to hear from you

Role Overview

They're seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer with deep experience in Canvas-based rendering, graphic design editors, and GSAP animations all within a ReactJS and TypeScript environment.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the company's core editor experience, helping to build high-performance design tools that power dynamic animations, precision controls, and real-time creative interactions.

If you're passionate about delivering polished, professional-grade UI for designers, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Lead the development of the canvas-based graphic design editor using ReactJS, TypeScript, and Konva.js
• Build and optimise canvas rendering, animation timelines, and playback systems using GSAP
• Create smart alignment, scaling, multi-layer editing, and intuitive drag-and-drop interactions
• Design and implement stunning real-time animations and transitions for text, shapes, and media
• Integrate audio and video into the canvas with precise synchronization and playback control
• Work cross-functionally with backend and AI teams to power intelligent design suggestions and dynamic asset libraries
• Ensure performance at scale across browsers and devices especially for complex templates and large media files
• Collaborate with designers to bring elegant UI/UX to life with motion and fluid interaction
• Research and prototype advanced editor features that push the boundaries of creativity and usability

Requirements

• 7+ years of frontend development experience
• Deep expertise with HTML5 Canvas, Konva.js (or similar), and GSAP
• Experience developing graphic editors, animation tools, or complex interactive platforms
• Strong proficiency in ReactJS, TypeScript, and modern state management
• Experience building animation systems: keyframes, timelines, easing, and layered effects (e.g., Fade, Rise, Pan, Neon)
• Comfort handling rich media video, audio, and image processing
• Strong focus on performance, optimization, and cross-browser compatibility
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Prior experience building editors like Canva, Figma, or Adobe Express is a major plus
• Experience working on high-scale SaaS platforms is preferred

Why Join Us

• Help shape a category-defining product at the forefront of AI and design
• Join a fast-moving, founder-led team backed by top investors
• Work alongside world-class engineers, designers, and creative thinkers
• Build tools used by thousands of creatives and businesses around the world
