About the role

About Zuora

At Zuora, we help businesses grow smarter and adapt faster. Our platform powers modern business models — from subscriptions and usage-based pricing to AI-driven and outcome-based offerings — helping companies launch new products, automate complex billing, and unlock predictable, recurring revenue.

We’ve led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we’re evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.

The Opportunity

Zuora's UI Platform team builds the shared React and TypeScript component library and design system that power our customer-facing applications, delivering a consistent, accessible and modern experience across our product suite. We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to help evolve that platform and to help our engineers move faster with AI by building reusable AI-assisted development workflows and automation. You will also contribute to feature code in our customer-facing applications, putting the platform to work in real product development.

In this role, you'll:

  • Design and build reusable, accessible, well-tested React and TypeScript components and the tooling around them
  • Contribute to product feature code alongside the shared platform, building and shipping UI for Zuora's customer-facing applications
  • Take ownership of features end to end, using AI-assisted development to deliver high-quality UI quickly with minimal hand-holding
  • Contribute to the evolution of our design system: tokens, theming, documentation, versioning and adoption across multiple application teams
  • Partner with Design on pixel-accurate, accessible implementations and with product teams on adopting shared components
  • Review code contributions from other teams and uphold standards for quality, performance and accessibility
  • Improve developer experience through Storybook documentation, automated and visual regression testing, and release tooling
  • Build and maintain AI-assisted development workflows (such as reusable skills, agents and automation) that help engineers deliver consistent, high-quality UI faster
  • Use AI coding tools in your daily work and help refine team practices for AI-assisted development
  • Mentor engineers and share knowledge across a globally distributed team

This is a hybrid position based in our Foster City, CA headquarters. You'll work onsite three days per week to foster collaboration, innovation and team connectivity. This is not a fully remote position.

About You

  • 6-10 years of professional software engineering experience, primarily front-end

  • Experience building reusable, themeable component libraries with Material UI or a comparable library
  • Experience with Storybook and automated testing, including unit and visual regression testing
  • Working knowledge of design-system practices: tokens, theming, documentation and backward compatibility
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (such as Cursor or Claude Code) and a solid understanding of AI-assisted development workflows
  • Experience with Git-based workflows, CI/CD and package publishing
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to collaborate across functions and time zones
  • A self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving environment, with a track record of using AI coding tools to ship at a high pace without sacrificing quality

Nice to haves:

  • Experience building AI developer tooling, such as skills, agents or MCP servers, and evaluating their output
  • Experience with Web Components, micro-frontends or embeddable widgets
  • Background in enterprise SaaS, billing or financial systems
  • Experience building AI-powered user interfaces
  • Open-source contributions, internal tooling or technical writing

About the Team

You'll work closely with designers, product managers and engineers across the US and Asia to deliver high-quality, reusable UI at enterprise scale. Our team is globally distributed and collaborative, built on strong communication and shared commitment to quality. You'll mentor engineers and share knowledge across this distributed network while helping to shape the future of our platform and development practices.
