About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

As a Frontend Engineer, you’ll design and build the interfaces that let humans shape frontier AI models. You’ll craft elegant, high-performance web experiences that make complex data workflows intuitive and fast — from rich annotation dashboards to interactive agent simulations. You’ll own everything from UI architecture and design systems to performance optimization, collaborating closely with product, research, and operations to deliver tools that are both powerful and delightful to use. This role is ideal for someone who obsesses over smooth interactions, pixel-perfect details, and building responsive, reliable products that feel great to use.

Examples of Problems We're Solving

• How can we design intuitive, dynamic interfaces that let users explore entire simulated worlds—complete with fake Slack threads, Jira tickets, and interactive websites—while making it easy to visualize and debug what agents are doing inside them?
• How do we replicate the friction and unpredictability of the real web—ads, cookie banners, paywalls, error states—in ways that feel authentic and challenging for AI agents, without breaking immersion or usability?
