About LeadAI & You

We're an AI-first company building groundbreaking voice platforms and agentic assistants that do real work for real businesses. Small, passionate team. Big product ambition. Fast shipping.

We need a Next.js Developer who excels at building modern web applications. Strong Next.js skills are essential—you'll create powerful interfaces and integrate them seamlessly with backend APIs. Full-stack capabilities are a huge plus, but your Next.js expertise is what matters most.

What You'll Actually Build

Next.js applications that users love:

• Blazing-fast React frontends using the latest Next.js features—app router, server components, and optimized performance
• Complex state management for multi-step workflows and data-heavy interfaces
• Responsive designs that work flawlessly across all devices
• API routes and server-side logic within Next.js when needed

AI-powered user experiences:

• Real-time AI conversation interfaces with WebSocket connections
• Interactive voice interaction displays and agent workflow visualizations
• Smart data handling with proper caching strategies and error handling

API integrations that work:

• Consume RESTful APIs with proper authentication flows and state management
• Handle async operations, loading states, and error boundaries gracefully
• Ensure smooth data flow throughout the application

Full features, end-to-end:

• Own entire user-facing features from the UI through the API integration layer
• Work with backend teams (or handle backend yourself if you have the skills)
• Deploy features that real users depend on daily

• Understand full-stack concepts even if you're frontend-focused

Have the right mindset:

• Want to learn fast and own entire features
• Can work independently and solve problems without hand-holding
