Zscaler is looking for an accomplished Senior Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge API tooling and frameworks. This role is crucial in shaping a world-class developer experience by creating tools and frameworks that simplify UI creation, integrate data sources, and bind APIs. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including UI/UX engineers and Data Engineers, to accelerate the development of new services and UI components using modern technologies such as Generative AI for select workflows. Your expertise will allow us to push the boundaries of what is possible, driving innovation and excellence in our developer experience.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help create tooling and client SDKs that streamline the process of binding data sources to UI and client-side components, reducing the time it takes to build Zscaler applications. To achieve this, you will develop frameworks that empower UI construction using modern patterns such as MVC, MVVP, data binding, and design systems like Material Design. On the backend, you will focus on accelerating the creation and deployment of new APIs and related tooling to support the seamless integration of UI components. Collaboration with product managers and engineering teams is necessary to ensure that the tools and frameworks you develop align with Zscaler's strategic goals, striking a balance between rapid development cycles and long-term maintainability and scalability.

- Build client SDKs that provide easy-to-use interfaces for data binding and UI component integration, applying modern UI frameworks and design patterns.
- Improve the space of UI and API integration, using new approaches like generative AI to automate and enhance the development of UI components.
- Participate in hands-on coding and development, focusing on creating tools that improve developer productivity and refine the API development process.
- Collaborate with UI/UX engineers and product managers to align development efforts with user needs and team goals.
What We're Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
- 5+ years of experience in at least one programming language (Go, Java, C++, Rust, JavaScript)
- Experience building frameworks and tooling for API and UI development, with a focus on enhancing developer experience and productivity.
- Experience with API design standards, best practices (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI 3.0, REST, JSON, gRPC, Protobuf), and API-first design principles.
- Understanding of modern UI design patterns (MVC, MVVP, etc.) and experience with popular front-end frameworks (React, Angular)
- Leadership and mentoring skills, with a commitment to promoting an inclusive engineering culture.
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Expertise in API tooling and frameworks that promote rapid UI development, with a focus on integration, automation, and testing.
- Expertise in container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker) and cloud computing platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
