About KAVIA AI

KAVIA AI is an enterprise software company building a production AI-native platform used today by teams working on complex, large-scale software systems.

We are creating an AI-native workflow and reasoning layer for the entire software development lifecycle—from requirements and architecture to code generation, testing, CI/CD, and long-term software evolution.

Unlike point tools or coding copilots, KAVIA is designed to understand, reason about, and operate on entire software systems over time. The platform helps engineering teams move faster while maintaining quality, traceability, security, and control.

At the core of the platform are:

Agent-based orchestration systems that plan, execute, and validate work across the software development lifecycle

Enterprise knowledge graphs that represent code, architecture, requirements, workflows, and decisions

Full lifecycle traceability that helps teams understand why software exists and how it evolves

AI-powered workflows that accelerate engineering, modernization, testing, and documentation

KAVIA is already deployed in production environments and used by enterprise customers. As our platform and customer footprint grow, we are investing in making KAVIA’s capabilities easier to discover, understand, trust, and use.

The Role

This is a hands-on frontend engineering and product-experience leadership role on an existing production AI platform.

As Lead Frontend Engineer, you will own the technical quality and continued evolution of KAVIA’s customer-facing product experience. You will work closely with the founding team, product leadership, backend and full-stack engineers, Field Deployment Engineers, and our UI/UX design contractor.

You will lead frontend development while helping us understand how customers use the product, where they encounter friction, and how we can improve usability, adoption, and successful task completion.

This is not a people-manager-only role, nor is it a role focused solely on translating completed designs into React components. We are looking for an engineer who combines strong frontend architecture with product judgment, UX sensitivity, customer empathy, and data-informed decision-making.

Use Product Data to Find and Remove Friction

Instrument customer journeys and product workflows using PostHog or similar product-analytics tools

Use session recordings and product data responsibly to identify where users become confused or blocked

Define meaningful product-experience metrics and evaluate whether improvements deliver the intended outcome

Combine quantitative product data with customer feedback rather than relying solely on intuition

Work Closely with Customers and FDEs

Partner with Field Deployment Engineers and customer-facing teams to understand where users encounter difficulty

Turn recurring support issues and customer feedback into durable product improvements
