Software Engineer - Front End

🧑‍💻 Position: Software Engineer – Front End

📍 Location: Markham, Ontario, Canada (Hybrid)

💼 Type: Full-time

🧭 Overview

IBM is seeking a skilled Front-End Software Engineer to join a team focused on delivering cloud-native and generative AI-enabled data solutions. This role goes beyond coding — you'll be shaping user experience, driving front-end architecture, and improving development workflows across IBM's platform teams.

🔍 Role Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers in a distributed team setup.
• Take full lifecycle ownership of the front-end stack — from feature planning to on-call support.
• Champion frontend engineering best practices around usability, testing, deployment, and team collaboration.
• Lead architectural improvements for better performance and scalability.
• Use observability tools and integrate analytics to improve user experience and operational efficiency.

✅ Required Technical Skills

• 1–3 years of front-end software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in:
• TypeScript
• React
• Node.js
• GraphQL
• Solid understanding of frontend architecture patterns and design systems.
• Experience in:
• Responsive/cross-platform design
• Frontend observability and deployment tooling
• Exposure to cloud environments (especially AWS) is a plus.

🎓 Preferred Education

• Master’s Degree (though not mandatory — skills and experience will matter more)

🌟 You’ll Stand Out If You Have:

• Built and shipped complex frontend apps to production environments
• Experience with FE observability tools (e.g., logging, monitoring, APM for frontend)
• Familiarity with automated deployment pipelines (CI/CD)
• Collaborated closely with design teams on UI/UX patterns and consistency
• Passion for creating scalable, usable products that solve real-world problems

💡 Good Fit For You If:

• You're an early-to-mid career front-end engineer looking to grow fast.
• You’re eager to work on cutting-edge tech like cloud-native platforms and generative AI tools.
• You enjoy working with a cross-functional team and taking ownership from design to deployment.
