New York, NY, USA
Posted on Aug 22, 2025
Valence has built the first-to-market AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human-like guidance & support to any leader or employee. At Valence, we're not just talking about the future of work – we're actively shaping it.
From your first interaction with us, you'll notice we're different. By working here you won't just implement solutions for our clients; you'll be helping to architect the future of leadership in the age of generative AI. And we'll be honest – this is not for everyone. But for those with an insatiable desire to work fast on complex, unsolved challenges with some of the best talent in tech, this could be the career-defining opportunity you've been waiting for.
The Role
In this role, you’ll be hands-on shaping the technical foundation of our LLM-powered product’s user experience used by leaders at Fortune 500 companies. You’ll work closely with our Technical Lead, designers, and product visionaries to ship real features fast, refine user flows, and build polished, resilient interfaces that redefine how enterprises approach learning and leadership. This is not an incremental build. It’s a ground-floor opportunity to create and own user-facing systems in a category-defining product.
About Valence
We're a B2B SaaS company, backed by top tier investors, that's pioneering the first generative AI leadership coach for large enterprises. Our mission is to transform how the world's biggest companies approach learning and development, helping teams work better together. We've been featured in Harvard Business Review, and our client list reads like a Who's Who of global business, including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, General Mills, ServiceNow, AstraZeneca, Citi, Prudential, CVS and Bristol Myers Squibb.
What You'll Do
- Build polished, user-friendly interfaces using modern frontend frameworks (React preferred; Vue.js, Svelte, or similar also welcome)
- Go beyond just coding—dive into user metrics, analyze FullStory recordings, and talk to users to inform product decisions
- Collaborate with product, design, and customer success to deliver features that solve real user problems
- Own end-to-end flows: from frontend delivery to integration with backend systems
- Ensure performance, accessibility, and scalability across enterprise environments
- Debug across the stack when needed and contribute to backend code where necessary
- Help shape hiring, tooling, and internal processes as we grow
What We're Looking For
- Engineering Skills: You’ve got significant experience in a combination of scaling startups and best-in-class engineering organizations, with deep expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React preferred; Vue.js, Svelte, or similar). You’re comfortable owning UI systems end-to-end and can contribute on the backend when needed.
- UX Obsessed: You genuinely care about how users interact with the product. You dive into metrics, watch FullStory recordings, and talk to users to ensure the experiences you build are not just functional, but delightful and intuitive.
- Builder at Heart: You’ve architected and shipped production-grade, user-facing systems. You balance polish with speed, knowing when to prioritize craftsmanship and when to push scrappy experiments to learn fast.
- Versatile and Pragmatic: You move fluidly between crafting elegant abstractions and delivering quick solutions when time to insight matters most. You’re not afraid to step outside the frontend layer to unblock progress.
- Product Focused: You care as much about usability, accessibility, and adoption as you do about code quality. You think beyond “does it work” to “does it work for the user, at scale, and in enterprise environments.”
- Startup Fluent: You thrive in ambiguity, value momentum over perfection, and happily wear multiple hats when it means unblocking the team.
- Customer-Centered Operator: You validate decisions with data and real feedback, balancing user needs with business priorities. You believe observation beats assumption every time.
What You'll Get
- Ownership of projects and strategic priorities regardless of seniority.
- Strong ties to the executive team, a culture of transparency and engagement with strategic decisions.
- Options from day one, which means you will be on the ownership track right away.
- Competitive salary and equity packages.
- Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, and vision) from day 1.
- Provision of anything you need to be successful - learning tools, hardware, office equipment, software.
- Generous PTO, company-wide R&R shutdowns and paid leave for parents.
- A WFH stipend, phone stipend and support to work in a We Work or other space as preferred.
