Reforged Labs is a YC-backed, Sandhill Road funded AI startup revolutionizing how the world's top mobile gaming studios market themselves to hundreds of millions of players. We're building cutting-edge AI technology that powers sophisticated ad analysis and generation pipelines for elite global gaming companies.

We don't follow trends; we set them. Our data infrastructure supports technology that generates millions of dollars in value for our customers, processing billions of gameplay and ad-performance signals in real-time.

The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Frontend Engineer with strong fundamentals in web development and a hunger to learn. You’ll get hands-on experience building real-time, high-performance interfaces for global-scale applications.

This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage, venture-backed AI startup, work alongside senior engineers, and grow into a world-class frontend developer.

• Implement real-time features (e.g., chat, dashboards) with guidance from senior engineers
• Assist in integrating frontend components with backend AI services
• Help create intuitive visualizations for complex AI-generated data
• Learn and apply best practices in state management and code quality
• Collaborate closely with experienced teammates in an agile environment

Interview Process

We want to get to know you and give you the chance to show your potential:

Round 1: Initial Technical Screen (45–60 mins)

• React and JavaScript fundamentals
• Small live coding exercise

Round 2: Take-home Project & Review (45–60 mins)

• Build a small feature or UI component at your own pace
• Discuss your approach with our senior engineers

Round 3: Final Leadership Conversation (45–60 mins)

• Chat with our founders about your growth path
• Culture and team fit discussion

We aim to complete the entire process within 2 weeks.
