Senior Software Engineer

upGrad; Bengaluru; Vor Ort; INR 1.500.000 - 2.300.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

upGrad is seeking a frontend engineer who thinks beyond the frontend, to own performance and help build scalable frontend foundations across products. You will work closely with backend, design and product teams to ensure fast, robust user experiences.

You will optimize Core Web Vitals, implement SSR/SSG/CSR patterns with Next.js, and leverage profiling and observability tools to ship with confidence. If you enjoy balancing performance, maintainability and cost, you’ll thrive in this role.

Qualifikationen

• 3-5 years of software engineering with strong frontend fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of Core Web Vitals and diagnosing them.
• Experience with SSR/SSG/CSR, hydration and Next.js rendering patterns.
• Familiar with RUM, profiling and performance debugging tools.
• Understanding of infrastructure behind modern web apps—CDNs, cloud, deployments, APIs.
• Ability to reason about performance, scalability, maintainability, reliability and cost.

Aufgaben

• Own web performance and Core Web Vitals across products.
• Design reusable frontend foundations and patterns for scale.
• Think from first principles, evaluating trade-offs to fit the problem.
• Think product, not tickets, focusing on user experience and performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, infra, design and product.
• Move with pace: build, ship, measure, learn and improve.

Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a frontend engineer who thinks beyond the frontend.

Job Description

What you'll do

• Own web performance - deeply understand Core Web Vitals, LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, rendering strategies, hydration, caching and resource loading.
• Design for scale - build reusable frontend foundations and patterns that can grow across products and teams without unnecessary complexity.
• Think from first principles - question assumptions, understand trade-offs and choose approaches because they fit the problem, not because they're fashionable.
• Think product, not tickets - care about how the entire experience works, performs and feels to the user.
• Be cross-functional when needed - collaborate across backend, infrastructure, design and product. The problem matters more than where the frontend boundary ends.
• Move with pace - build, ship, measure, learn and improve.

What we're looking for

• 3-5 years of software engineering experience, with strong frontend and web fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of Core Web Vitals and practical experience diagnosing and improving them.
• Experience with SSR, SSG, CSR, hydration and modern Next.js rendering/caching patterns - and knowing when to use which.
• Comfortable with RUM, profiling, observability and performance-debugging tools.
• Understanding of the infrastructure behind modern web applications - CDNs, cloud, caching, deployments, APIs and edge/server-side execution.
• Ability to reason about performance, scalability, maintainability, reliability and cost, not just UI implementation.

AI is part of the engineering toolkit

We expect you to use AI effectively to build faster and better - for coding, debugging, profiling, testing, exploration and understanding unfamiliar systems.

But we're not looking for a prompt hero.

You should understand what you're shipping, challenge what AI produces and own the engineering decisions behind it.

The mindset we're looking for

Performance is a feature. Simple over clever. Outcomes over tickets. Engineering judgement over trends. Pace without shortcuts.

If you enjoy squeezing milliseconds out of experiences, understanding what happens across the entire request lifecycle, and stepping beyond the frontend boundary when the problem demands it - you'll fit right in at upGrad.
