Senior Frontend Engineer

Who we are

Vibe Kanban is a YC-backed, London-based startup solving human–AI interaction for software developers.

As AI agents become more capable at writing code, developers are spending more of their time planning and reviewing what those agents produce. Vibe Kanban helps them do exactly that, seamlessly integrating with leading coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex.

Thousands of engineers, from early-stage startups to large regulated enterprises, use Vibe Kanban every day.

We’re a small, talent-dense, and relentlessly driven team.

Who we’re looking for

Ideally you’re full-stack, but stronger on frontend than we are.

You should have enough experience to hold opinions about architecture and design when building complex systems. Ours is complex because, for example:

• Agent chat threads, code, and other data must sync in real time
• Users live inside Vibe Kanban, it’s a power tool that must feel effortless
• It’s both information and function dense

You should be completely confident in your frontend ability. This is the chance to exercise your talent and perform your life’s work.
