About Retell AI

Retell AI is reimagining the call center with voice AI. Thousands of companies use its AI voice agents for sales, support and logistics calls that once required large teams, and it is building toward contact centers powered entirely by intelligent AI workers.

Backed by Y Combinator and Alt Capital, Retell AI grew from $5M to about $80M ARR with a team of roughly 40 people, and was named a top 50 AI app by a16z.

The Role

Retell AI is hiring Senior Frontend Engineers (3-7 years) to build the user experiences that power its voice automation platform, from dashboards and analytics to customer-facing tools. You will join a small, high-ownership frontend team reporting directly to the CTO, owning projects end to end and shipping features thousands of companies use in production. The team works a high-intensity startup schedule.

What You Will Do

• Build and ship React-heavy features end to end (prompt management, dashboards, analytics).
• Write production-grade React and TypeScript, including deep state management and UI performance for data-rich dashboards.
• Collaborate with backend and full-stack engineers on a team of about seven frontend-focused developers.
• Work directly with customers to onboard, debug and turn feedback into UX improvements.
• Own frontend architecture decisions and iterate rapidly.

What You Bring

• 3-7 years of frontend engineering focused on React, active in your current or most recent role
• Expert-level React you can write without AI assistance, plus production TypeScript and Node.js
• 1.5+ years at a VC-backed startup, and at least one role at a well-known tech company or high-growth YC startup
• B.S. in computer science, computer engineering or electrical engineering from a top university
• A truly frontend focus (not primarily full stack)
• Ability to work on-site in Redwood City Monday-Friday plus one remote day

Nice to Have
