Frontend Developer Intern

Build the Sylica dashboard and marketing surfaces: Next.js App Router, design system, and accessible UX for developers.

Location: Remote (US) · New Mexico HQ optional
Time: 10–20 hrs / week, flexible with school
Compensation: Competitive intern stipend; school credit if applicable

You will work on the customer-facing app: the dashboard, playground, billing, and public marketing site. The stack is React 19, Next.js (App Router), Tailwind, and a shared internal UI package. We care about performance, keyboard accessibility, and UI that looks sharp without being noisy.

What you will do

Ship and iterate on product surfaces: auth flows, settings, usage views, and the multi-pane playground.
Integrate with server actions and client state while keeping pages fast (loading states, streaming where it helps).
Refine the design system: consistent spacing, typography, and focus states for power users in dark and light mode.
Work from Figma or written spec when available; propose small UX improvements with evidence.

What we look for

Comfortable in React and modern component patterns (hooks, composition). TypeScript at a readable level is a plus.
Basic layout skill (Flexbox, responsive breakpoints) and attention to detail on spacing and hierarchy.
Familiarity with git; able to work in a monorepo with clear folder conventions.
Enrolled in or recently completed a relevant program, or a portfolio that shows finished front-end work.

Nice to have

Next.js App Router, Tailwind, or shadcn-style component libraries.
Interest in a11y (WCAG-minded patterns, focus management).
Data visualization (charts) or real-time UIs (SSE, WebSockets) at a high level.

How we work

You will join the product side of a small, senior-heavy team. We value honest feedback, fast iteration, and UIs that feel fast and calm. Design and engineering collaborate early so we do not paint ourselves into a corner on accessibility or mobile.
