Cascade AI

Compensation

Full Description

Who we are Cascade AI helps HR organizations transform how they operate with AI agents that automate critical HR functions—including support, open enrollment, onboarding, leave of absence, compensation, and more. Our agents do far more than provide answers. They execute processes and workflows, streamline HR operations, and deliver employees the help they need instantly and conversationally. By combining Large Language Models (LLMs) with an organization’s existing HR technology stack, Cascade agents streamline operations, improve employee experience, and unlock significant cost savings. Cascade is deployed globally, with users on every continent, and supports multi-lingual workforces. We are proudly backed by Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI fund, and trusted by Fortune 100 companies and leading enterprises, many of whom sign multi-year contracts. Founded by two former Microsoft engineers through the MIT Sandbox Innovation program, Cascade is now one of the fastest-growing AI companies in HR technology. We have an exceptional advising team, including industry leaders such as the former VP of People Ops at Google and former CHRO of Airbnb. If you like to work at the intersection of AI and cloud, collaborate across the organization, and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, this role could be a perfect fit for you. Everyone joining at this stage will wear multiple hats and work across the product surface. Role As a Frontend Engineer II at Cascade, you will play a critical role in designing and building the user interfaces that power our AI agent platform for HR automation. You will shape how employees interact with agents that automate processes like onboarding, open enrollment, leave, and termination—and how HR teams configure, monitor, and scale those agents across the enterprise. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing company and make an outsized impact: you’ll help set the vision for our frontend architecture, build intuitive and performant interfaces, and deliver experiences that bring our AI agents to life for employees around the world. What You’ll Do • Design and develop frontend experiences in React for both employees (AI agent interactions) and HR teams (dashboards, workflow automation tools, analytics). • Build scalable, responsive, and accessible UIs that support global enterprise deployments. • Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend engineering to deliver seamless end-to-end workflows. • Implement reusable design systems and component libraries to accelerate development and maintain consistency. • Ensure code quality and reliability through automated testing, reviews, and performance monitoring. • Iterate quickly in 2-week sprints, balancing speed with long-term maintainability. • Stay ahead of modern frontend trends, adopting new tools and libraries where they add real value. • Bring a product mindset: prioritize features that deliver the most impact for customers and employees. What You’ll Need Minimum qualifications: • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). • 3+ years of professional frontend development experience, with deep expertise in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript. • Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and design systems. • Fluency in Git for version control and collaboration within a team. • Proven track record of delivering complex, long-term projects in cross-functional teams. • Experience collaborating with designers and backend engineers to build user-friendly, data-rich interfaces. • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. • Strong problem-solving skills, with a natural curiosity and product mindset. Preferred qualifications: • Experience building enterprise-grade UIs such as dashboards, workflow automation tools, or configuration platforms. • Familiarity with testing frameworks (e.g. Jest, Cypress, Playwright) and best practices for frontend reliability. • Experience with performance optimization and accessibility in large-scale applications. • Prior experience in a startup or high-growth environment, comfortable balancing speed and long-term maintainability. • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Demonstrated leadership qualities, self-direction, and strong communication skills. Who we are looking for: • Technically strong, with a deep foundation in modern frontend engineering principles and best practices. • Skilled at building enterprise-grade interfaces—from employee-facing AI interactions to HR dashboards and workflow automation tools. • Bring a product and design mindset: you think not only about how something works, but how it feels for the end user. • Rigorous in your approach, always aiming for high-quality, maintainable, and scalable code. • Excited by the mission of transforming HR through AI agents that automate critical processes and workflows. • Thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with the ability to prioritize effectively and deliver impact quickly. • Self-directed, with the ability to take ownership of projects while collaborating closely across teams. • Operate with empathy, humility, and curiosity, bringing a genuine passion for solving real-world problems. • Eager to grow with Cascade, taking on new challenges and opportunities as the company scales globally.
