About this job

Outset invented a better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews.

Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale.

The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services. That's our opportunity.


Outset is backed by top Silicon Valley investors and raised a $30M Series B in December 2025—less than six months after our Series A—led by Radical Ventures with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s venture arm), 8VC, Y Combinator, and Adverb Ventures.

The raise follows a breakout year, with our business growing 8x as enterprise customers across industries adopt our category, AI‑moderated research, as the new standard for understanding people.

We’re a tight-knit team serving some of the world’s largest enterprises.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate closely with the CTO and CEO on strategic technical decisions and product direction.

  • Design, develop, and optimize intuitive, user-friendly frontend interfaces using React and Next.js.

  • Build robust and responsive components that seamlessly integrate with backend services and APIs.

  • Enhance user experiences through real-time data visualization and interaction.

  • Lead frontend projects from initial conception through production deployment, ensuring scalability, responsiveness, and reliability.

  • Interface directly with users to gather feedback, understand pain points, and continuously improve our product's UI/UX.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience building production-grade frontend systems.

  • Strong proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

  • Experience building scalable, responsive web applications.

  • Familiarity integrating frontend applications with RESTful or GraphQL APIs.

  • Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and best practices.

  • Bonus points for familiarity with real-time data visualization, WebRTC, or frontend performance optimization.
