Frontend Engineer (Intern)
Summary
Build and ship React/TypeScript features for a speech-intelligence console, integrating APIs, visualizations, and E2E tests while improving reliability and UX.
About The Role We're looking for a Frontend Engineering Intern who wants to build real user-facing products—not just implement designs. You'll work on the customer-facing console for speech intelligence, including audio setup, transcript review, analytics, QA tooling, and admin controls. This is a fast-moving environment where the product evolves weekly and ambiguity is part of the job. You'll collaborate closely with founders, product, and backend teams to design and ship features that directly impact user experience. Your work will go live quickly and be used by real customers. If you enjoy thinking deeply about UX, building polished interfaces, and improving workflows—not just components—this role will push you to grow fast. What You Will Do
- Build and iterate on the customer-facing console (audio setup, transcripts, analytics, QA tools, admin controls)
- Integrate frontend with backend APIs and handle edge cases gracefully
- Implement data visualisations for complex metrics
- Ensure performance, responsiveness, and accessibility across devices
- Write clean, maintainable React/TypeScript code
- Collaborate with product, design, and backend to ship features end-to-end
- Add and maintain E2E tests for critical user journeys (Playwright or Cypress)
- Communicate clearly about tradeoffs, UX decisions, and risks
- Strong fundamentals in React, TypeScript, or a similar modern frontend stack
- Comfort working with APIs and handling loading, error, and empty states
- Basic understanding of performance optimisation for web apps
- Familiarity with authentication flows and role-based UI patterns
- Interest in E2E testing and frontend quality practices
- Ability to work in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
- You think in terms of user-perceived reliability, not just dashboards
- You ask 'what does good reliability look like' before adding metrics
- You take ownership of uptime and graceful degradation
- You balance speed of change with system stability
- You proactively identify reliability gaps before they cause incidents
- Experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
- Exposure to incident management or on-call workflows
- Experience with resilience testing or chaos engineering
- Familiarity with tracing and structured logging
- Own monitoring and alerting for a subset of services
- Reduce noisy alerts and improve signal quality
- Contribute to incident retrospectives with actionable insights
- Improve reliability, visibility, or response time in a measurable way
- Hands-on experience building reliability practices from the ground up
- Direct collaboration with founders and core engineering teams
- Real ownership beyond a typical SRE internship
- A portfolio of dashboards, runbooks, and system improvements
- A strong pathway into SRE, platform, or production engineering roles
- If you want predictable systems with no incidents to handle
- If you avoid ambiguity or cross-team problem solving
- If you prefer rigid, siloed environments with predefined processes
- Builders who want to actively own system reliability
- Engineers who think in terms of end-to-end systems
- Calm debuggers of intermittent and complex failures
- High-agency individuals who care about keeping systems running reliably
