Job Description

Kognitos is at the forefront of revolutionizing the trillion-dollar hyper-automation market. Our mission is to redefine how software is built and maintained by leveraging cutting-edge multi-agent automation platforms. We are pioneering advancements in agentic workflows, enabling machines to reason, plan, and execute tasks in a deterministic fashion.

Our approach elevates debugging to English, bypassing traditional programming languages that struggle to adapt to runtime surprises. Kognitos is building "HAL"—but the friendly, helpful kind—to create systems that align AI safety with business value, solving challenges in efficient fine-tuning, multimodal reasoning, and real-world adaptability.

Our team includes top engineers from Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Pure Storage, and leading tech startups. Many of our engineers have studied at IIT, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of Washington, UIUC, Caltech, and the University of Michigan.

With offices in San Jose, CA, and Bangalore, India, we’re building a global center of excellence in AI automation.

At Kognitos, you won’t just build software—you’ll help shape the future of AI-driven automation.

Kognitos is on the hunt for a Junior UI Engineer to join our fast-paced, innovative team. If you graduated from a top-tier CS program, have a couple of solid internships under your belt, and you’re passionate about crafting clean, user-friendly interfaces, this is your chance to grow alongside seasoned pros!

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with senior engineers and designers to turn mockups into pixel-perfect, responsive UI components
  • Help implement end-to-end UI features that delight users and align with our design system
  • Write clear, maintainable JavaScript/TypeScript code under guidance, optimizing for performance and scalability
  • Participate in code reviews—both giving and receiving feedback—to continuously level up your skills
  • Troubleshoot UI bugs, cross-browser inconsistencies, and accessibility issues
  • Stay curious about emerging UI patterns, libraries, and best practices; share your findings with the team

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related) from a top-tier university
  • 1–3 years of hands-on UI development experience (including internships at well-known tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, etc.)
  • Familiarity with React (or another modern framework like Vue.js or Angular)
  • Solid grasp of JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
  • Comfortable with HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox/Grid) and responsive design principles
  • Basic understanding of cross-browser compatibility and web accessibility standards
  • Experience using Git (branching, pull requests, merges)
  • Strong communication skills and a growth-mindset attitude
  • A portfolio or code samples that demonstrate your UI chops (school projects, open-source contributions, hackathon builds, etc.)

What we offer

  • Competitive entry-level salary and benefits package
  • Flexible hours and remote-friendly culture
  • A mentorship-driven environment where you’ll learn from senior engineers
  • Budget for conferences, courses, and tools to help you level up
  • A creative, inclusive culture that celebrates fresh ideas and initiative

Final note

You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
