About this role
Job title: Staff Frontend Engineer - Seattle
About the Role Databricks seeks a Staff Frontend Engineer to design, build, and deliver frontend experiences that make data insights simple and actionable. You will collaborate with product management and cross-functional teams to set the foundation for reusable UI primitives, robust frontend architecture, and production-ready data exploration experiences across the platform.
What You'll Do
- Design and ship reusable UI primitives and component patterns that behave consistently across consoles, enabling a write‑once, run‑anywhere model
- Define application bootstrapping and cross‑surface navigation primitives that abstract console boundaries while enforcing correct AuthZ and routing
- Deliver unified frontend data clients and service components
- Create, deploy, test, and upgrade platform components that power complex frontend data exploration and visualization experiences
- Provide reference patterns, templates, and tests that standardize portability, reduce rework, and accelerate delivery of cross-surface features
- Partner with feature teams to land single‑console experiences and migrations on the platform (from pilot pages to scaled adoption)
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience leading large multi-quarter efforts with a demonstrated customer or business impact
- Passion for user experience and design and an understanding of front-end architecture
- Comfortable working towards a multi-year vision with incremental deliverables
- Motivated by delivering customer value
- Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or VueJs/Ember)
- Familiarity with server-side web technologies is a plus
- Knowledge of current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, accessibility, security and usability
- Experience building large-scale products
