The Role

As the lead front-end engineer at HiPeople, I oversaw a team of three engineers and was responsible for AI implementation across the platform. This is an AI-powered hiring platform that handles screening, assessments, interviews (24/7 in 113 languages), and reference checks.

What I Learned

This was a growth-heavy role. I dove deep into internationalization, making sure the product worked seamlessly across 113 languages, and designed AI workflows that felt natural rather than robotic. I also spent time talking directly with customers, which completely changed how I think about building products.

The Challenge

Hiring is complex, and automating parts of it without losing the human touch is harder than it looks. The AI interview system needed to feel conversational and fair, not like candidates were talking to a wall. Getting that balance right took iteration and a lot of feedback.

Why It Matters

Companies using HiPeople can scale their hiring without sacrificing candidate experience. It's not about replacing humans. It's about giving recruiters back their time while still treating every candidate with respect.
