About the role

Coval is the testing platform for AI agents. We've raised $3.3M, 10x'd revenue in 2 months, and need a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us build the infrastructure for the agentic future. We are looking for a high agency and ai-enthusiastic frontend engineer to join our founding team!

The Mission

AI agents are here to stay. The question isn't if they'll reshape how companies operate—it's who will build the infrastructure that powers them.

That's Coval.

Anyone can spin up an AI agent today. But creating agents that work reliably in production? That's the hard part. And as AI adoption accelerates, testing and evaluation aren't nice-to-haves—they're mission-critical.

We're building the platform that lets companies deploy agents with confidence. This is day one of the agentic era, and evaluation infrastructure will define how it unfolds. We're building THE platform that makes it happen.

Who You Are

  • Ex-founder or builder at heart who thrives in startup chaos
  • You ship fast, iterate faster, and love the messy early days of company-building
  • Obsessed with customers—you own features end-to-end and build with users front of mind
  • Expert at ruthless simplification
  • Passionate about crafting intuitive, beautiful interfaces
  • You know when to take shortcuts and when to build for scale

The Role

You'll be a core early team member, directly shaping our product and owning frontend decisions that drive growth.

  • Work directly with customers—onboard them, understand their needs, and turn feedback into product decisions
  • Thrive in ambiguity: build features with minimal specs, make UX calls on the fly, and figure things out as you go
  • Take full ownership—this should feel like your product
  • Balance speed with vision—ship fast without losing sight of where we're headed

What You'll Need

  • Deep experience with React, TypeScript, and Next.js
  • Strong frontend architecture skills and a track record building complex web apps
  • A keen design eye and passion for exceptional UX
  • Prior startup experience
  • Ability to turn complex workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces
  • Bonus: Strong intuition for what LLMs can do today and where they're headed
  • Bonus: You care deeply about developer experience

Location: 100% in-person in San Francisco

About the interview

We move fast and keep it simple. You'll start with a 30-min screen, then a technical deep dive where we discuss your past work and how you approach building UIs. After that, you'll meet the team to talk culture and vision, followed by a founder chat about the big picture. If we're both excited, we'll do a 1-7 day paid work trial where you'll tackle real problems alongside the team—the best way to see if it's the right fit. We aim to go from first call to offer in 1-2 weeks.

About Coval

Why we do what we do

The future is agentic

No one's sure what an agentic future will look like. But we're certain AI agents are here to stay. And Coval will be the infrastructure that powers that. As AI adoption accelerates, one thing is clear: testing and reliability are more critical than ever.

We're committed to reliability

Creating reliable agents is the next frontier. Coval empowers companies to not just create agents that delight customers, but to deploy them with absolute confidence in their performance. We're building the tools that transform agent testing from a challenge into a competitive advantage.

We're shaping the future

Evaluation infrastructure will massively shape the AI-agent era. There's no question about if it will happen - it's about who will build it and when. Coval is positioning itself to be THE definitive platform for agentic testing, and we're just getting started.
