Principal UI Architect

Role purpose

As the Principal UI Architect at Prevalent AI, you will own and drive the end-to-end front-end architecture vision for our Data Fabric and Exposure Management platforms. You will define the future-ready UI ecosystem that powers intelligent, agentic user experiences, self-serve analytics, advanced visualizations, and high-performance, scalable applications.

This role goes beyond building UIs—it is about designing a modern, resilient, AI-augmented architecture that supports rapid development, exceptional quality, and long-term product evolution. You will identify structural gaps, elevate engineering standards, and establish the patterns, processes, and guardrails needed for world-class UI development.

You will collaborate deeply with UX, product, backend, platform, and AI engineering teams to translate complex requirements into elegant, performant frontend systems. As the technical leader for UI across the organization, you will mentor engineers, drive architectural coherence, elevate code quality, and influence strategic product direction.

If you are passionate about crafting sophisticated UI systems, solving large-scale architectural challenges, and shaping the future of AI-driven, exploratory, and analytical interfaces—this is your opportunity to create lasting impact.
