Front-end Engineer

We’re looking for a Front-end Engineer who’s excited to help define how people at the world’s largest companies work with AI day to day. At Magentic, you’ll shape the core product experience for enterprise users as they collaborate with AI agents that run real to achieve things that they currently can’t imagine are possible. We’re pushing the boundaries of AI with next‑generation agentic systems that can manage entire procurement workflows. Our mission is to make global manufacturing supply chains robust to an ever‑changing world – that’s a $3tn market opportunity. If that’s not exciting enough – we’re backed by world‑class investors including Sequoia Capital, and you’d be working along a super talented team which brings together expertise from OpenAI, Meta, Revolut, NASA and McKinsey (and that’s just the first 11 people!).

What You’ll Do

• Own the development of new user‑facing features end‑to‑end
• Track and implement the latest interaction patterns for AI‑driven tools
• Interact with users to understand their problems and design solutions
• Act as part of a design team until we have that function
• Collaborate with a cross‑functional team to continually increase the impact of our product
• Help maintain a robust, scalable design system — React, Tailwind

You Might Be a Great Fit if You

• Have 6+ years of professional software‑engineering experience
• Are fluent in TypeScript/JavaScript (we use React) and comfortable in Python
• Have design experience or great intuition about UI/UX
• Can select the right tool for each job, balancing speed and scalability, and can quickly up‑skill on new tools when needed
• Can take a loosely defined problem, extract the true requirements, and design and deliver a production‑ready solution in days, not weeks
• Communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders
• Thrive in an early‑stage, high‑ownership environment—prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week

Bonus Points

• Experience building products powered by LLMs - however, we consider many great candidates without previous AI experience.
• Strong visual and interaction design skills — you care deeply about details, polish, and making things feel “just right”
• Familiarity with supply‑chain, procurement, or manufacturing domains.

Compensation and Benefits

At Magentic, we recognise and reward the talent that drives our success. We offer:

• Competitive Equity: play a real part in Magentic’s upside
• A salary of £110,000‑£120,000
• In‑office lunches provided
• Salary sacrifice pension and nursery schemes
• Hybrid London HQ (3-4 days in the office/customer site)
• Annual team retreat—a fully‑funded off‑site to recharge, bond, and build

Our interview process

There are quite a few components because it’s really important that both we and you have all the information to make a great decision at this stage of our journey. We can move quickly through these stages, so let us know if you have any timelines we need to meet.

• Initial call (30 mins): this first step is an opportunity for you to hear more about Magentic and the role, and for us to learn more about how your experience aligns with the role.
• Take home task (2-3 hours): we’ll give you an exercise to demonstrate the key skills for the role.
• In‑person interview: for the final step, we invite you to come meet the team in‑person and work alongside us! We find this is the best way for candidates to get a sense of what working at Magentic is like. This day will include a culture interview, some live coding work and a discussion of your work with the team.
• CEO interview (30 mins): a chance for you to meet Robin, hear about his vision for the company - this may happen at the in‑person, dependent on scheduling constraints.
