About the role

We’re hiring for our first AI Engineer. Someone who’s excited to own and build all things AI at Coast. You’ll be responsible for designing and building features that make it faster and more powerful to create functional demos. You should have strong instincts for both AI-powered product experiences and the underlying technical systems to make them real.

What you’ll work on:

Design and implement agentic workflows that help users generate UI layouts, flows, and content automatically
Build AI-powered copilots that assist with creating components, writing code, and refining interfaces
Implement RAG systems that leverage documentation, design systems, and component libraries
Optimize for speed, determinism, and quality across creative and structured AI outputs
Push the boundaries of what’s possible in an AI-first design + build environment

You might be a fit if you’ve:

Built AI features for design tools (e.g. auto-layout, design-to-code, style transfer)
Created developer copilots (e.g. natural language to UI, code completion, intelligent suggestions)
Worked with vector graphics, color palettes, or typography AI
Integrated AI into design systems, no-code tools, or IDEs
Used GPT-4, Claude 3+, and open-source models in production
Built advanced prompt-engineered workflows that balance creativity and accuracy
Worked with ASTs, design tokens, or component trees
Made AI outputs context-aware (e.g. understanding canvas or code state)

Bonus if you’ve:

Experience with semantic embeddings for search and retrieval
Contributed to or built internal tooling for prompt testing and LLM evaluation
A strong product sense and love building intuitive UI/UX alongside designers

Why Coast:

We’re a lean, fast-moving team that’s obsessed with product and serving our customers. You’ll work directly with our founders, ship ambitious products, and help define the future of AI-powered software creation.
