UIUX FullStack Engineer
Basis, New York, New York, us, 10261
About BasisBasis (https://www.basis.ai/) is a nonprofit applied AI research organization with two mutually reinforcing goals.
The first is to
understand and build intelligence.
This means to establish the mathematical principles of what it means to reason, to learn, to make decisions, to understand, and to explain; and to construct software that implements these principles.
The second is to
advance society’s ability to solve intractable problems . This means expanding the scale, complexity, and breadth of problems that we can solve today, and even more importantly, accelerating our ability to solve problems in the future.
To achieve these goals, we’re building both a new technological foundation that draws inspiration from how humans reason, and a new kind of collaborative organization that puts human values first.
About the RoleWe're seeking a Full-Stack Engineer with exceptional UI/UX skills to craft intuitive interfaces for our advanced AI systems. You're the rare talent who combines an obsession for pixel-perfect, user-centric design with the technical prowess to build robust systems end-to-end. Your work will power tools that transform urban planning and other critical domains, driving data-informed and equitable decision-making.
The ProjectYour initial focus: a computational zoning model using causal probabilistic programming. This tool will predict policy impacts on key urban metrics, empowering diverse stakeholders to make informed decisions. Future projects will extend our impact to other critical areas of public policy.
You'll Be:
Creating Figma designs and prototypes with Basis research scientists and collaborators
Designing and implementing full-stack solutions with responsive UIs
Creating interactive visualizations for complex data
Developing APIs to connect front-end interfaces with back-end models
Optimizing performance for large-scale, real-time data processing
Collaborating with data scientists to integrate causal models
Conducting user testing and iterating based on feedback
Tech Stack:You'll play a key role in choosing the technical stack---current tools include:
Front-end: React, D3.js, Mapbox GL, Typescript
Back-end: Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL/PostGIS
DevOps: Git, CI/CD pipelines, containerization
Cloud: Major cloud platforms
You Have:
3+ years of full-stack development experience
Expertise in building UIs for data-heavy applications
Strong grasp of user-centered design principles
Experience with database design and API development
Nice-to-Haves:
GIS tools experience
Knowledge of probabilistic and causal machine learning
Understanding of public policy or urban planning
We Offer:
Work with real-world impact
Flexible, remote-first environment
Competitive compensation and benefits
Professional growth opportunities
