Coursera is expanding its India Development Center, and this is a unique opportunity to be part of the founding team for our enterprise charter. We're seeking a Staff Frontend Engineer to join the Enterprise Acquisition team, which owns the Tier-1 applications and services powering critical online purchase flows in Coursera's enterprise contract product — including discovery, checkout, payments, taxes, and invoicing.
As a technical leader on this team, you'll bring strong frontend engineering expertise, a product mindset, and a bias for action to build scalable, performant web experiences. You’ll influence system architecture, mentor engineers, and play a key role in shaping the user experience of products that directly drive Coursera’s enterprise revenue.
This is a high-impact role ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and are passionate about building robust, user-facing systems from the ground up.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead design and implementation of scalable, performant, and accessible frontend applications in a complex and evolving ecosystem.
- Drive architectural decisions and long-term technical strategy for key enterprise flows such as contract checkout, invoicing, and self-serve purchases.
- Work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and solution architects to deliver end-to-end features.
- Champion engineering excellence by introducing best practices for frontend quality, performance, security, and reliability.
- Write clean, modular code using ReactJS (or similar frameworks), and guide the team in following standards around testing (unit, integration, and e2e).
- Act as a mentor and technical sounding board for engineers on the team and across the organization.
- Lead technical reviews, RFC discussions, and documentation efforts to scale shared understanding and drive alignment.
- Use metrics and A/B testing to measure impact, guide decisions, and iterate on product improvements.
Basic Qualifications:
- 10+ years of professional experience in frontend engineering, with at least 3 years in a senior or staff-level role.
- Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern web frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue).
- Proven experience in architecting and scaling large, complex frontend applications.
- Strong fundamentals in accessibility, responsive design, frontend performance, and browser compatibility.
- Deep understanding of frontend build systems, state management, and testing frameworks.
- Experience leading cross-functional projects, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering excellence across teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in early-stage environments or greenfield product development.
- Prior contributions to contract-based enterprise platforms or e-commerce flows (checkout, payments, invoicing).
- Demonstrated success in scaling 0→1 products in ambiguity-rich environments.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multiple time zones and functions.
