We’ve led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we’re evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.

The Opportunity
Zuora's UI Platform team builds the shared React and TypeScript component library and design system that power our customer-facing applications, delivering a consistent, accessible and modern experience across our product suite. We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to help evolve that platform and to help our engineers move faster with AI by building reusable AI-assisted development workflows and automation. You will also contribute to feature code in our customer-facing applications, putting the platform to work in real product development.
In this role, you'll:
Design and build reusable, accessible, well-tested React and TypeScript components and the tooling around them
Contribute to product feature code alongside the shared platform, building and shipping UI for Zuora's customer-facing applications
Take ownership of features end to end, using AI-assisted development to deliver high-quality UI quickly with minimal hand-holding
Contribute to the evolution of our design system: tokens, theming, documentation, versioning and adoption across multiple application teams
Partner with Design on pixel-accurate, accessible implementations and with product teams on adopting shared components
Review code contributions from other teams and uphold standards for quality, performance and accessibility
Improve developer experience through Storybook documentation, automated and visual regression testing, and release tooling
Build and maintain AI-assisted development workflows (such as reusable skills, agents and automation) that help engineers deliver consistent, high-quality UI faster
Use AI coding tools in your daily work and help refine team practices for AI-assisted development
Mentor engineers and share knowledge across a globally distributed team
This is a hybrid position based in our Foster City, CA headquarters. You'll work onsite three days per week to foster collaboration, innovation and team connectivity. This is not a fully remote position.
