Frontend Engineer (React / TypeScript)

At Gauss Robotics, we make robotics engineering simple, affordable, and accessible — giving manufacturers a shortcut to robotics by automating engineering workflows with AI.

With gauss.​chat, we are building the core interface that connects agentic AI to real robotic systems and simulation environments. Users can design, configure, and deploy robotic applications through natural language, real-time system feedback, and interactive 3D visualization.

We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to take ownership of this system and help shape the future of AI-driven robotics engineering.

This is a full-time position in Braunschweig (hybrid possible).

Tasks

• Own and evolve the gauss.​chat frontend architecture built with React and TypeScript

• Design scalable UI structures and enforce clean modular boundaries in a growing codebase

• Integrate with modern authentication flows (OAuth, aws cognito, JWT)

• Implement real-time communication using WebSockets and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming AI insights and robotics state updates

• Integrate deeply with backend services via REST APIs (Axios), streaming endpoints, and asynchronous workflows

• Develop high-performance 3D visualization components using Three.js and Meshcat for robotics simulation and system feedback

• Optimize rendering performance and responsiveness in real-time and 3D-heavy contexts

• Expand and maintain a reusable UI system using Material-UI (Joy) and Tailwind CSS

• Contribute to frontend testing strategy (unit + end-to-end) and enforce high code quality (ESLint, Prettier)

• Collaborate with backend, AI, and robotics engineers on architectural decisions and product direction

• Continuously identify and improve technical weaknesses in the frontend stack

This role is about building and owning a system — with the right initiative and performance, this role can grow into a Frontend Lead / Head of Frontend position.

Requirements

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Professional experience building frontend systems with React and TypeScript (typically 3+ years)

• Strong understanding of frontend architecture and modular state management

• Experience with real-time systems (WebSockets, SSE, streaming updates)

• Solid grasp of performance optimization in modern frontend applications

• Familiarity with authentication and RBAC systems

• Experience integrating REST APIs and handling complex asynchronous flows

• Preference for clean abstractions, maintainability, and long-term code health

• Comfortable working in an evolving startup environment with impactful responsibility

• Good communication skills in English

Nice to Have

• Experience with Three.js, Meshcat, or other 3D/WebGL technologies

• Experience building AI-powered or developer-centric applications

• Experience contributing to or maintaining a UI design system

• Interest in robotics, simulation, and hardware-integrated systemsExperience mentoring others or influencing frontend architecture

Benefits

• Real Ownership & Impact – You’ll own a core subsystem of a deep-tech product
• Technical Depth – Work on real-time, AI-integrated, and 3D visualization challenges
• Continuous Learning – Access to professional learning platforms and technical courses
• Choose Your Setup – Select your preferred device and operating system
• Flexible Work Model – Flexible working hours and hybrid work options
• Mobility Support – Jobrad/bike leasing or public transportation benefits
• Health & Wellbeing – Flexible gym membership or capital-building benefits; fresh fruit and soft drinks in the officeCompetitive Salary – Aligned with experience and responsibility

We are in a high-growth product phase and need engineers who want ownership, impact, and technical challenge.

If you enjoy architecting systems, engaging with real-time data and 3D interfaces, and working at the intersection of AI and robotics, we’d love to hear from you.
