Chennai, India Freshworks Full time
Job Description

At Freshworks, great user experience isn’t a layer—it’s built into the foundation. As a Staff Frontend Engineer , you’ll architect the core of that experience. You’ll own critical parts of our frontend stack, lead large-scale initiatives, and build frameworks and UI systems that power our global products.

This role is for engineers who understand performance from first principles, write scalable component libraries, and can turn design vision into engineering reality—at speed and scale.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and scale component libraries and design systems across products.
  • Own frontend architecture and drive standardization across teams.
  • Lead complex UI efforts involving performance, accessibility, and responsive design.
  • Translate design specs into extensible, high-performance components.
  • Define and enforce best practices for code structure, testing, and maintainability.
  • Optimize large frontend codebases for performance and readability.
  • Mentor frontend engineers across teams; conduct deep technical reviews.
  • Collaborate with product managers and designers to influence experience strategy.

Qualifications

  • Degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
  • Strong sense of design, UX, and interaction details.
  • Passion for building engineering cultures focused on quality, speed, and empathy.
  • You think like a system designer and execute like a craftsman.
  • Strong written and verbal communication—your RFCs and PR reviews are gold.

Skill Requirements

  • 10 to 15 years of web developer, UI developer, JavaScript expert or frontend engineer experience.
  • Deep expertise in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and modern JS frameworks (React preferred).
  • Strong experience in frontend architecture, micro-frontends, and reusable libraries.
  • Proven track record in building highly responsive, accessible, and performant UIs.
  • Deep understanding of browser rendering, DOM optimization, and debugging tools.
  • Familiar with testing strategies for frontend apps (unit, E2E, visual regression).
  • Strong foundation in data structures and frontend algorithms.
  • Experience driving long-term tech initiatives and architectural upgrades.
