ABOUT THE ROLE & TEAM

Egnyte is the secure multi-cloud platform for content security and governance. While our Engineering teams build the core architecture, you will be joining the UX Team as a specialized Frontend Engineer.

In this unique role, you will act as the vital bridge between Design and Engineering. You won't just implement features; you will ensure the fidelity of our user experience, champion our Design System, and work alongside the wider Engineering organization to deliver consistency. You will be the technical voice within the design team and the design advocate within the engineering codebase.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

●  Design–Engineering Liaison: Serve as the connective tissue between design and engineering, transforming design concepts into buildable technical specifications. Champion design intent while navigating technical constraints, ensuring features are feasible, scalable, and user-centered. Partner closely with UX designers to convert high-fidelity mockups into production-ready solutions that preserve the intended experience.

●  Guard the Design System: Lead the implementation, maintenance, and adoption of our internal Design System to ensure UI consistency across all products.

●  Engineering Collaboration: Work alongside backend and frontend engineering teams to integrate UI components, acting as an autonomous unit that drives UX improvements into the main codebase.

●   Solve UX Problems Technically: Use your own UX sensibilities to spot friction points and proactively resolve interface problems without waiting for a ticket.

●   Be the Advocate: Be outspoken and persuasive in discussions with Engineering regarding frontend standards, accessibility, and visual fidelity. You will need to support design decisions with technical arguments.

●   Innovate: Prototype rapid concepts to test interactions and animations that enhance the overall product feel.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

●   Technical Mastery: Expert knowledge of ES6+, HTML5, and CSS3 is a must. You must be able to craft pixel-perfect layouts and smooth interactions.

●   Mostly React Ecosystem: Deep experience with the React ecosystem (React, Redux, Webpack) is required to contribute effectively to our main application.

●   The "Hybrid" Mindset: You are an engineer with a designer’s eye. You possess solid UX skills and can make design decisions on the fly to resolve implementation hurdles.

●   Design Tool Proficiency: Comfortable working inside Figma (or similar tools) to inspect designs and extract specifications autonomously.

●   Communication Style: You are outspoken, candid, and comfortable navigating disagreements. You can work independently to resolve problems and are happy to drive discussions with engineers outside of your immediate team.

●   Proactive & Pragmatic: You don’t wait for permission to fix a broken UI element. You are solution-oriented and take ownership of the "Look and Feel" of the product.

BENEFITS

●   Attractive salary package based on skillset

●   Your own Egnyte account with lifetime access to 50 TB of cloud storage

●   MyBenefit: you can choose a MultiSport card or gift cards every month
