About this role
Redpanda Data is pioneering the Agentic Data Plane (ADP) in AI infrastructure, enabling secure connections between AI agents and enterprise data. The Senior UI/UX Engineer will focus on building polished user interfaces, collaborating closely with product and design teams to enhance the user experience and contribute to design systems.
Responsibilities:
- Build high-quality, maintainable front-end features using React and TypeScript
- Collaborate with design and product teams to translate wireframes and prototypes into accurate UI
- Champion consistency in UI behavior, accessibility, and responsive design
- Contribute to and evolve our component libraries and design systems
- Identify and resolve UI/UX issues with a keen eye for visual and interaction detail
- Advocate for users by raising concerns about usability, performance, or technical debt
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance through code reviews and knowledge sharing
- Communicate design trade-offs, implementation options, and technical constraints to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience developing complex web applications with React and TypeScript
- A strong design sensibility — you sweat the details in layout, motion, spacing, and polish
- Deep understanding of modern front-end principles including component architecture, state management, and accessibility
- Familiarity with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library) and performance optimization strategies
- Experience collaborating with design teams and contributing to scalable design systems
- Proven ability to clearly articulate technical and visual ideas in writing and conversation
- Ability to work independently and own features from conception to deployment
- Experience working with AI tools for design or development (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Figma AI features, UI prototyping with AI, automated code generation tools)
- Experience designing wireframes & mockups in Figma (or similar tools)
- Experience using streaming platforms such as Redpanda or Apache Kafka
- Experience with microfrontend architecture (e.g: Module Federation)
- Experience with protobuf, react-query and other data fetching methodologies
