About Sim
Sim is building the leading platform for AI agents—enabling developers and enterprises to visually create, launch, and manage high-performing agents that automate the world’s workflows. Our mission is simple: agents will run the world, and Sim is the primary means by which that happens. We’re backed by world-class investors including Standard Capital, Paul Graham, Perplexity, SV Angel, and Y Combinator, and we’ve been open source from day one.
We're a small, fast-moving team based in San Francisco, building together in person every day. 70,000+ developers use Sim; your work ships fast and impacts real users at scale. We believe in ownership, excellence, and ambitious builders shaping the future from the ground up.

As a Software Engineer, Frontend at Sim, you'll own the development of our agent-building canvas and frontend platform. You’ll architect intuitive user experiences, build robust and high-performance UI components, and help define how thousands of developers create with Sim. Working with engineering, product, and design, you’ll deliver features from concept to production, directly shaping our product’s design, performance, and developer experience.

Understanding of frontend performance, animation, and real-time systems (WebSockets, CRDTs, etc.)
High agency and ownership mentality—drive features from ideation to launch
Experience with design systems, Next.js, and open-source contributions is a plus
