Role

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Engineering team in a hybrid capacity in Bangalore, reporting to the Senior Director, Software Engineering. You will join the team that built the world’s largest cloud security platform from the ground up. Bring your vision and passion to our team of cloud architects and software engineers who are enabling organizations worldwide to harness speed and agility with a cloud-first strategy.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Lead the engineering effort for the development and maintenance of the Zscaler Zero-Trust Cloud User Interface

• Work closely with the UI design team to implement intuitive and accessible user interfaces, leveraging UX best practices and a component library

• Collaborate with the product team to define and implement functional requirements that align with business goals

• Advocate for UI platform priorities, ensuring alignment with long-term architectural goals and business needs

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution

• You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact

• You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust

• You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

• 6+ years of professional experience as a front-end engineer, with at least 5 years of experience specifically in React

• Extensive experience with JavaScript and developing UI components using React

• Strong understanding of UI/UX design principles and implementing efficient, scalable GraphQL and REST APIs

• Proven ability to address key UI concerns such as scalability, performance, and security to maintain a high-quality user experience

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

• Strong understanding of front-end build tools, package managers, monorepos, and version control systems such as Nx, npm, and Git

• Familiarity with containerization and Kubernetes

• Understanding of AWS services including Cloudfront, EC2, and S3 and their application in secure, scalable, and highly available UI deployments
