Job description

Join our team to design and deliver the AI-driven backbone of Cisco Cloud Control. You'll work across multiple stacks and domains to build integrations and features that power the next generation of Cisco's global platform.

Your Impact:

  • Shape the architecture of our React/TypeScript micro-frontend platform - shell, shared libraries, module federation, and build pipeline.

  • Drive advanced product integrations and AI-native solutions across Cisco's product portfolio.

  • Design and deliver scalable, reliable, and user-centric frontend solutions while leading technical design discussions, architecture reviews, and engineering standards.

  • Collaborate with backend, design, and infrastructure teams to ensure end-to-end delivery.

  • Mentor and support engineers across the team while raising the technical bar through coaching, collaboration, and example.

Requirements

  • 8 years of relevant frontend development experience.

  • Expert in React, TypeScript, and large-scale frontend architecture, including monorepos, micro-frontends, or module federation.

  • Hands-on experience with modern frontend bundlers such as Rspack, Webpack, or Vite, and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Expertise in frontend observability, including OpenTelemetry, RUM, error monitoring, and tools like Splunk, Sentry, or Datadog.

  • AI development tools are second nature: integrated into how you design, code, test, and review production-grade software.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Solid foundation in backend technologies such as Go, Node, or Java, and full-stack delivery.

  • Background in networking or security products.

  • A perpetual learner with a growth mindset.

Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location, market conditions, job-related skillset, experience, qualifications, education, certifications, and/or training.

  • 1 paid day off for employee's birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, and 4 paid days off for personal wellness determined by Cisco

  • Non-exempt employees** receive 16 days of paid vacation time per full calendar year, accrued at rate of 4.92 hours per pay period for full-time employees

  • Exempt employees participate in Cisco's flexible vacation time off program, which has no defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use (subject to availability and some business limitations)

  • 80 hours of sick time off provided on hire date and each January 1st thereafter, and up to 80 hours of unused sick time carried forward from one calendar year to the next

For non-sales roles, employees are also eligible to earn annual bonuses subject to Cisco's policies.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components, subject to the applicable Cisco plan. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:

  • .75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;

  • 1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;

  • 1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and

  • Once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay 0% up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.

New York City Metro Area:

$183,800.00 - $303,100.00

Non-Metro New York state & Washington state:
