About Luma AI
Luma's mission is to build multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities. We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable, and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. We are working on training and scaling up foundation models for systems that can see, understand, show, and explain.
Where You Come In
This isn't just another frontend role, it's a rare opportunity to invent the new UI primitives for AI-native experiences at the intersection of technical excellence and impeccable design taste. You'll join a small, world-class team building the Dream Machine web application, working directly with designers to bring ambitious visions to life for millions of users. You will be responsible for the feel of the product, crafting the buttery-smooth, high-polish interactions that make complex AI operations feel magical and intuitive.
What You'll Do
- Architect & Build: Design and implement the core UI architecture for our web application using React and TypeScript, from UI controls to state management systems.
- Translate Vision into Reality: Work in a tight, collaborative loop with designers to translate high-fidelity Figma designs into production-ready code with an obsessive eye for detail.
- Craft Magical Interactions: Build fluid, high-performance animations and micro-interactions using frameworks like Framer Motion, pushing the boundaries of what web interfaces can do.
- Invent New Paradigms: Brainstorm and prototype novel UI patterns that gracefully handle the asynchronous and unpredictable nature of generative AI outputs.
- Optimize for Performance: Find and improve bottlenecks, ensuring our media-rich application is fast, responsive, and delightful to use on any device.
Who You Are
- You have 7+ years of experience building and shipping beautiful, high-polish frontend products that users love.
- You are a master of your craft, with deep expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and modern CSS.
- You have a design-first mindset and a proven track record of collaborating with design teams to elevate the final product.
- You write clean, maintainable, and reusable code that serves as the foundation for a scalable design system.
- You thrive in a high-agency environment and have an exceptional eye for design details.
- You know how to center a div
What Sets You Apart (Bonus Points)
- Highly Encouraged: A selection of live application UIs you've built.
- Experience with creative tools or consumer products in domains like video editing, design, or generative AI.
- Familiarity with animation libraries like Framer Motion or GSAP, or even lower-level tech like WebGL.
