Front-end Software Engineer

About the role

This is a hybrid position requiring 2–3 days a week in the office, located in Research Triangle Park, NC or Richardson, TX.

Your Impact

As a Front-End Software Engineer in Cisco’s Customer Experience (CX) engineering organization, you will shape the future of AI-driven solutions across Cisco’s product and services portfolio. You will own the full development lifecycle for critical Angular applications, translating high-fidelity designs into performant, high-quality user experiences. Operating with high autonomy, you will design scalable solutions that directly solve business challenges and refine architectural standards to keep the front-end ecosystem intuitive, accessible, and optimized for peak performance.

Responsibilities

• Front-End Architecture: Lead the architectural design of large-scale front-end applications; define standards for modular architecture, state management patterns, and cross-team code sharing.
• Development & Execution: Build and maintain responsive, high-performance web interfaces using Angular and TypeScript; own features from technical design through production, ensuring pixel-perfect implementation of UI designs.
• Design-to-Code Workflow: Interpret, prototype, and refine mockups using Figma or Adobe XD; identify and address usability friction points within design assets before and during implementation.
• Architectural Excellence: Define and implement modular Angular architectures focused on performance, scalability, and code maintainability; adopt best practices such as signal-based state management, optimized change detection, and robust RxJS pipelines.
• Quality & Accessibility: Mentor team members on translating design systems into accessible, performant code; ensure all builds comply with WCAG standards and meet stringent performance benchmarks.
• Advanced AI Integration: Architect front-end systems that handle high-frequency data from AI pipelines; lead the development of complex, generative-AI enabled dashboards and advanced data-visualization tools for interacting with large, complex datasets.
• Mentorship & Influence: Actively mentor peers and junior engineers.
• Multi-functional Collaboration: Partner with product management and cross-functional collaborators to translate business needs into technical roadmaps and innovative engineering solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 7+ years of front-end development experience, preferably within an enterprise or SaaS context.
• Deep experience with Angular, RxJS, and TypeScript.
• Ability to iterate on designs using Figma or Adobe XD to enhance user satisfaction and functional efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience architecting front-end solutions for AI-driven platforms (e.g., LLM interfaces, agentic UIs).
• Experience with Design Token management and bridging the gap between designers and developers.
• Strong understanding of performance metrics (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals) in an Angular context.
• Ability to interpret user behavior data (analytics, heatmaps) and translate it into actionable UI improvements.
• Experience designing UIs that integrate LLM outputs or Copilot-style AI assistants into professional workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, drive technical consensus, and communicate architectural concepts to diverse collaborators.
• Cisco networking knowledge is a plus.
