Tokyo, Japan Remote (City)

Citadel AI is hiring a Frontend Engineer @ Citadel AI - Jobs

About the Role

What You'll Do

Design and build intuitive user interfaces for tools that assess, track, and manage AI systems. You'll play a central role in developing features across core product areas: evaluating model performance through quantitative testing, monitoring real-time AI interactions to ensure safety and compliance, and enabling governance workflows for enterprise AI adoption. As the company expands from early to scaled operations, you’ll help refine engineering practices and modernize the frontend codebase to support long-term growth.

Requirements

You have at least three years of experience building frontend applications and a proven ability to adapt quickly in fast-moving environments. You’re comfortable working independently and iterating rapidly based on feedback and changing requirements. Fluency in English is required, and being based in Tokyo is strongly preferred. Remote consideration is available for exceptional candidates.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with reactive JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, or Svelte
  • Proficiency in TypeScript and modern frontend tooling
  • Familiarity with full-stack development
  • Prior work in startups or early-stage companies
  • Background in AI, machine learning, or large language models
  • Japanese language skills are a plus

Technical Stack

You’ll work with Svelte, SvelteKit, TypeScript, Vite, and TanStack, along with testing tools like Vitest and Playwright. The stack includes Chart.js for data visualization, shadcn/ui for component design, and Jinja for templating, with a focus on maintainable, well-documented code using JSDoc.

Benefits

  • Join as an early team member with high ownership and influence over product and direction
  • Work alongside engineers from top technology companies
  • Backed by leading investors in Japan
  • Build products for a global enterprise customer base
  • Help shape a world-class AI startup rooted in Japan

Work Mode

This is a locally based role in Tokyo, though remote work may be considered for outstanding candidates. The team values in-person collaboration during this critical scaling period.

Company Culture

The team prioritizes rapid learning and iteration over existing expertise. You’ll contribute to a mission focused on making AI systems more reliable and trustworthy. As an early engineer, you’ll have direct impact on product development and engineering practices, with strong emphasis on ownership, initiative, and building solutions for international markets.
