About Us

Handshaiki s on a mission to transform how deals get done. Already trusted by leading industry organisations and fuelled by a £1.7m pre-seed raise, we're building the AI platform of choice for modern dealmakers.

We're a fast-growing start-up where ideas move quickly from concept to product. If you're excited by solving complex problems, working in a collaborative environment, and having a tangible impact, you'll feel at home here.

The Role (Contract)

We're looking for an experienced Front-End React/Next.js contractor to help us accelerate the delivery of core product features. You'll own key areas of the UI and work closely with our design, backend, and AI engineering teams to bring AIdriven functionality to life - particularly natural-language search, agentic workflows, and intelligent, context-aware components.

This role is ideal for someone who can hit the ground running, deliver quickly, and thrive in a high-autonomy environment.

What you'll deliver:

• User interfaces for LLM-powered search, AI agents, and data analytics
• Clear and intuitive UX for interacting with AI reasoning, results, and suggestions
• Front-end components that integrate with our API, vector search layer, and agentic orchestration systems
• Rapid iterations on scoped projects, new features and experiments with AIdriven interactions
• Front-end performance optimisation, accessibility improvements, and UI polish

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years of commercial front-end experience, ideally including contract work
• Strong React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript skills
• Confident building component libraries, reusable UI patterns, and clean frontend architecture
• Experience integrating complex APIs and async behaviour
• Able to work independently, manage your own delivery, and produce highquality output quickly
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Nice to have:

• A portfolio of delivered React projects
• Experience designing chat-style interfaces or AI assistant UIs
• Familiarity with data visualisation or dashboards
• Basic backend knowledge to help shape API contracts
