Staff Software Engineer, Frontend

Role Summary:

We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer with deep expertise in front-end development and modern web technologies. This role is ideal for someone passionate about crafting intuitive, high-performance user experiences that bring AI-powered applications to life. You’ll be at the forefront of operationalizing AI—designing responsive interfaces, building reusable components, and ensuring seamless integration with cutting-edge models. Your work will empower teams to build, deploy, and iterate on intelligent applications with speed, reliability, and exceptional usability.

What you will be doing:

• Lead and drive the overall architecture for the front-end framework, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability while partnering with other tech leads and team members.
• Define and roll out front-end engineering standards (e.g., coding practices, testing strategies, automation, application structure) across teams.
• Collaborate closely with feature development teams during design and implementation phases to ensure adherence to UI architectural principles and best practices.
• Design and develop proof-of-concept prototypes for advanced features, new interaction patterns, and innovative UI designs.
• Provide technical oversight and conduct code reviews for multiple front-end development efforts to maintain quality and consistency.
• Evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and design approaches, and provide recommendations to improve user experience and development efficiency.
• Create detailed documentation on front-end system design, component architecture, and implementation guidelines.
• Promote cross-team awareness and code-sharing practices to accelerate development and reduce time-to-market.
• Contribute hands-on to framework implementation and critical UI components as needed.

 Please note this is a hybrid role based out of our Palo Alto office  and requires a minimum of 4 days in office.

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8 years of experience in front-end software engineering, with a proven track record of designing and delivering scalable, high-performance web applications and component architectures.
• Expertise in building enterprise-grade JavaScript applications, with deep knowledge of modern frameworks and libraries.
• Strong proficiency in component-based architectures, preferably using React and Redux, and experience in designing reusable UI components.
• Hands-on experience with modern build and testing tools such as Webpack, Jest, Enzyme, Karma, and/or Jasmine.
• Solid understanding of UI performance metrics and techniques for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing front-end performance.
• Experience in CI/CD environments, with a strong emphasis on automation, testing, and quality assurance.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a passion for sharing best practices and driving engineering discipline across teams.

The anticipated annual pay scale for this position is $150,000-$250,000. Actual salaries will vary depending on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Globality's total compensation package for employees. This information is provided per the California Equal Pay Act.
