Job Description

Senior Staff Frontend Engineer, Admin Experience

Zendesk is transforming the way businesses build meaningful customer relationships. Our products help organizations deliver exceptional customer and employee experiences at scale, and our Admin Experience is central to how customers configure, manage, and get value from the Zendesk platform.

We are looking for a Senior Staff Frontend Engineer to help bring Zendesk’s Admin Experience vision to life for an AI-first future. This is a high-impact technical leadership role for someone who combines deep frontend expertise with product thinking, system design, and strong cross-functional leadership.

In this role, you will strengthen and operationalize our vision by translating high-level concepts into technically sound, scalable, and actionable frontend strategies. You will work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to reimagine complex user journeys and deliver intuitive, intelligent, and cohesive experiences for Zendesk admins.

What You’ll Do

  • Translate the Admin Experience vision into a clear end-to-end strategy focused on the frontend, architecture, roadmap, and execution plan.
  • Lead major initiatives across teams and product areas while remaining hands-on with writing code.
  • Partner with Product and Design to deliver intuitive, scalable, and cohesive experiences for Zendesk admins.
  • Establish reusable frontend patterns, components, and platform capabilities that improve consistency and accelerate delivery.
  • Identify technical risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs while balancing near-term priorities with long-term maintainability.
  • Advance performance, accessibility, reliability, testing, observability, and developer experience.
  • Build and maintain scalable, unified CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Spinnaker) for Admin Experience and Agent Workspace to improve delivery speed and reliability.
  • Drive developer productivity by optimizing build systems, testing infrastructure (PlayWright), and local development tooling.
  • Mentor engineers and raise the engineering bar through technical guidance, design reviews, and 1-1 coaching.

What You Bring to the Role

  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in frontend product development.
  • Proven success delivering complex, enterprise-scale UI initiatives.
  • Strong proficiency in Javascript or TypeScript, React, modern web standards, GraphQL, API integration, and frontend architecture.
  • Deep knowledge of frontend best practices, including accessibility, performance, testing, and reliability.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous product goals into pragmatic execution plans.
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives from discovery through to delivery
  • Ability to influence without direct authority, align teams, and communicate effectively with senior leaders.
  • Experience collaborating with globally distributed teams.

Nice to Have

  • Experience leading major transformations or redesigns of existing user experiences, particularly to make them AI-first.
  • Experience building enterprise SaaS products, configuration tools, or complex operational experiences.
  • Familiarity with AI interaction patterns, including agents, recommendations, automation, conversational interfaces, and human-in-the-loop workflows.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
