Software Engineer, Mobile Web — Dots

Details

Dots is building personal AI agents that help people make progress on their goals, including when they are away from ChatGPT. These agents can learn preferences, maintain context, work across applications, and use cloud computers to carry out tasks.

The team brings together product engineering, design, and research to turn frontier model capabilities into useful everyday experiences. Engineers help shape both the product and the systems behind it, from early prototypes through launch and iteration.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship mobile web experiences for creating tasks, reviewing agent activity, and providing feedback or direction.
• Build interfaces that handle streaming updates, long-running tasks, interrupted sessions, and changing connectivity.
• Improve responsiveness, loading performance, accessibility, and usability across screen sizes and browsers.
• Partner with design and product to prototype interaction patterns that give users visibility and control over agent actions.
• Work with backend and full-stack engineers on APIs, client state, and reliable synchronization between the interface and agent services.
• Own features from exploration and technical design through launch, measurement, and refinement.
• Help set frontend architecture and engineering practices while staying hands-on with implementation.

Requirements

• Substantial experience shipping polished web applications, with deep expertise in mobile web development and browser behavior.
• Strong frontend engineering skills and understanding of responsive layouts, accessibility, client state, and application performance.
• Experience building interactive interfaces that remain understandable as data or task state changes asynchronously.
• Attention to visual and interaction details combined with sound technical judgment.
• Ability to turn ambiguous product problems into working software and use user feedback to improve it.
• Ability to work effectively with designers, product partners, researchers, and engineers across the stack.
• Experience leading complex projects or influencing architecture while continuing to write and ship code.
• Experience with real-time collaboration, offline or intermittent connectivity, or products that help users manage complex workflows is especially relevant.
• Prior experience with AI or machine learning is helpful but not required.

Benefits

• Equity, performance-related bonuses for eligible employees, and medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts; pre-tax FSA, dependent care, and commuter accounts.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
