Aranya is hiring a Frontend Engineer to design and build the ClusterdOS interface — an OS-like experience that makes distributed systems approachable for both individual tinkers and production teams. You’ll help define interaction patterns, visualizations, and realtime UIs that translate complex cluster state into clear, actionable experiences.

What you'll do

• Own the ClusterdOS user interface, including cluster provisioning flows, natural language interfaces, and real-time proactive system insights.
• Design and build visualization systems that make distributed state legible at a glance.
• Surface the right information by integrating with Kubernetes APIs, GitOps controllers, and gRPC/cRPC backends.
• Build real-time reactive UIs using Convex that scale from single users to large teams.
• Prototype new interaction patterns for infrastructure management, test assumptions quickly, and iterate based on feedback.
• Collaborate with backend and platform teams to design elegant protocols for the frontend.
• Establish frontend architecture patterns and best practices as an early engineering team member.
• Write maintainable, well-structured frontend code and champion code quality across the product.

What Aranya is looking for

• Strong frontend fundamentals and a track record shipping user-facing infrastructure or developer tools.
• Practical experience building end-to-end Next.js applications using React, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui.
• Experience or familiarity with Convex for realtime/reactive UI patterns.
• Basic knowledge of Kubernetes (pods, deployments, services) and how distributed systems behave.
• Deep understanding of performance, accessibility, and frontend best practices.
• Experience creating visualization systems and compute-efficient UI animations.
• Comfortable working with complex state management that reflects real-world infrastructure.
• Experience working with APIs and backend services, with willingness to contribute to backend logic when needed.
• Familiarity with observability and analytics tools such as Grafana and PostHog.
• Strong communication skills, self-direction, and the ability to collaborate across product, design, and backend teams.
