Front End Engineer

Decile Group is transforming venture capital into a force for good in the world. We are working to launch 1,000 next-generation venture capital firms, changing the face of venture capital. We run VC Lab, the leading venture capital accelerator worldwide, and operate the Decile Hub platform — reducing the barriers of entry for next-generation investors to launch and grow meaningful early-stage investment firms.

We're looking for a Head of Product to own the full product experience of Decile Hub and build it into a world-class tool. Read more about the Decile Group tech team here: https://github.com/VCLab-Inc/Engineering

The ideal candidate cares deeply about how things look and how they feel to use. You work within a Rails codebase comfortably and you have above-average front-end instincts — the kind that make you notice when a button is two pixels off or a loading state is creating unnecessary anxiety for the user. You're not precious about tools, you use AI to accelerate your work, and you're motivated to build something that real people rely on every day.

You don't need a long resume. You need to be able to show us something you've built that you're proud of.

Basic requirements:

• You'll be expected to complete a Rails coding challenge as part of the interview process (everyone on the Decile Group team has done well on it).
• You must live and work within a few time zones of Pacific (California) time. We are on Zoom and Slack a lot.
• You must have above-average front-end skills — HTML, CSS, JavaScript — and a strong eye for UI detail.
• You should be actively using AI tools in your daily workflow.

If you're motivated to build beautiful, functional software that helps the next generation of investors do their best work — we want to meet you.

And we want to work with you too.

What You'll Do

• Build polished, performant front-end experiences. Own the UI layer of Decile Hub features — from layout and interaction design to responsive behavior and accessibility. Care about every pixel.
• Work within a Rails codebase. Use Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus alongside ERB templates. Understand the Rails request cycle well enough to work efficiently across the stack.
• Translate designs into real interfaces. Work closely with product and design to implement flows that are not just functional but feel great to use. Raise issues when a design won't hold up in practice.
• Use AI to move faster. Use AI coding tools actively throughout your workflow — UI generation, debugging, refactoring, writing tests. Help Decile Group stay ahead.
• Improve UI consistency and quality across the product. Identify patterns that can be systematized, components that can be reused, and rough edges that should be smoothed. Contribute to a shared design system.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of professional front-end development experience, including work within Rails applications
• Strong command of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — you can build complex layouts and interactions without reaching for a heavy framework
• Experience with Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus or eagerness to learn it deeply
• A genuine eye for good UI — you notice what most engineers miss
• Active use of AI coding tools as part of your workflow
• Ability to communicate clearly with designers and product managers about what's feasible and what isn't
• Portfolio or examples of real work you've shipped

Nice to Have

• Experience with Tailwind CSS or similar utility-first CSS frameworks
• Familiarity with data-heavy or workflow-heavy SaaS interfaces (tables, forms, dashboards)
• Basic comfort with Ruby and Rails beyond the front end
