TL;DR · Software UI Development Engineer

As a Software UI Development Engineer, you will join the team to compose and build high-performance, scalable UI systems for mass-market software applications. You will develop component-based architectures using React, TypeScript, and modern Adobe build system patterns like React Spectrum to create reusable, extensible components and shared frameworks across GenAI-powered surfaces. Your daily responsibilities include integrating RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints into resilient front-end applications while collaborating with backend engineers to refine API contracts for real-time automated technology use cases. You will deliver well-documented TypeScript code and implement robust testing strategies using Jest, Playwright, or Cypress. The role focuses on the technical challenge of building interactive AI-powered products and high-scale systems, requiring proficiency in JavaScript, state management patterns, and web performance optimization to ensure high-quality user experiences across various digital platforms.

What you'll do

  • Build high-performance, scalable UI systems and component-based architectures using React and TypeScript.
  • Create reusable, extensible UI components and shared frameworks for GenAI-powered surfaces.
  • Integrate RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints into resilient front-end applications.
  • Collaborate with backend engineers to define and refine API contracts for high-scale use cases.
  • Deliver clean, maintainable, and well-documented TypeScript code for all projects.
  • Implement robust testing strategies including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing using tools like Jest or Playwright.
  • Participate in architectural discussions to establish and evolve front-end standards and guidelines.

What we're looking for

  • 3–5+ years of professional experience building modern, high-performance web applications.
  • Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and JavaScript with a solid understanding of front-end architecture patterns.
  • Experience integrating RESTful APIs and working with JSON-based data models across multiple endpoints.
  • Familiarity with design systems (such as React Spectrum), component library development, and state management patterns.
  • Experience with modern testing frameworks (Jest, Playwright, or Cypress) and CI/CD workflows.
  • Working knowledge of GraphQL or experience collaborating on backend API design.
  • Understanding of web performance optimization and scalable front-end systems.
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively across engineering and product teams.
