About the opportunity

Want to build rich, intuitive user experiences that millions rely on every day? Come help us redefine what a great AI-powered Platform should be.

The Dayforce Talent Product Development team is seeking an experienced Senior Front-end Software Developer to help build the next generation of intelligent, cloud-native Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions.

You will be joining the Dayforce Talent organization, the department responsible for our full portfolio of Talent products from Recruiting, Learning, Career Explorer, Performance Management, Compensation, and Succession - used globally by customers to hire, develop, and grow their workforce.

In this role, you will join high-performing teams that own the design, performance, and evolution of the web experiences powering Talent products. You will craft scalable front-end architectures, build responsive and accessible user interfaces, and help elevate the overall user experience that directly impacts customer outcomes and strengthen Dayforce's competitiveness in the mid-market and enterprise HCM space.

As we scale our global product engineering model, this role will be based in our Bengaluru office. Team members are expected to work onsite 2-3 days per week as part of our hybrid collaboration model.

You will work closely with peers in India during core hours, and engage with counterparts in North America, Europe, and other regions as needed.

What you'll get to do

Design, build, and optimize responsive, accessible, and high-performance front-end components and applications using React and TypeScript. Participate in front-end architecture and design discussions; influence key technical decisions to ensure usability, maintainability, and scalability. Translate product requirements, UX flows, and visual designs into high-quality front-end implementations that deliver measurable user and business value. Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Architects, Test Engineers, and UX Designers throughout the development lifecycle. Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve code quality, component patterns, accessibility, and design consistency. Mentor and guide junior developers on front-end design principles, state management best practices, and debugging strategies. Identify opportunities to improve front-end delivery efficiency through automation, AI-assisted development, modern tooling, and CI/CD workflows. Take ownership of front-end feature delivery from concept to deployment, ensuring quality, performance, and observability. Take responsibility for testing your code by writing and maintaining automated front-end tests, validating UI behavior end-to-end, and ensuring high-quality, testable code is delivered into production. Contribute to improving team engineering practices and patterns through knowledge sharing and technical leadership. Implement and maintain robust front-end testing using modern frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, or Playwright), ensuring high confidence in UI quality. Optimize front-end performance through profiling, caching strategies, code-splitting, bundle optimization, and Web Vitals improvements.

Skills and experience we value

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Significant hands-on experience building complex front-end applications in enterprise or SaaS environments, demonstrating technical ownership and delivery impact. Strong programming skills using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, including component architecture, hooks, and reusable patterns. Experience building, deploying, and maintaining front-end applications using modern toolchains (e.g., Node.js, Webpack, Vite, Nx). Experience working closely with UX Research, Design, or Accessibility teams to refine high-quality user experiences. Exposure to cross-browser compatibility requirements, internationalization (i18n), and localization (l10n) patterns. Deep understanding of front-end application architecture, state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or equivalent), and SPA routing. Expertise in consuming REST/gRPC APIs and integrating front-end logic with backend services. Strong grasp of web performance optimization, including rendering pipelines, bundle optimization, lazy-loading, and Lighthouse metrics. Skilled in applying front-end-focused design patterns, secure coding practices, and modern UI engineering standards. Proficiency in writing automated front-end tests (unit, integration, and UI) and ensuring testability through clean component structures, predictable state management, and reliable interaction patterns. Proficiency in accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA) and building inclusive UI experiences. Solid understanding of CI/CD practices for web applications, modern testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, Playwright), and automation best practices. Experience working with design systems (Storybook, Material UI, or internal component libraries), ensuring UI consistency and reusability. Familiarity with front-end observability tools (Sentry, Datadog RUM, or New Relic Browser) to diagnose client-side issues. Curious and adaptable, with the ability to learn new front-end technologies, frameworks, and tooling quickly. Analytical, disciplined, and collaborative -- able to solve complex front-end problems and work effectively across global teams.

What would make you really stand out

Familiarity with micro-front-end architectures or modular UI platforms at scale. Understanding of Talent, HR, or Workforce systems, with the ability to apply domain insights to front-end design decisions.
