Senior Software Engineer

Tekion is hiring a Senior Software Engineer in Chennai Regional Office.

Job Description You will develop enterprise-grade frontend experiences embedded within our core platform and collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to deliver a world-class, AI-native user experience. You will build scalable, performant React + Next.js applications that surface real-time intelligence, campaign management interfaces, and data-rich dashboards — deeply integrated with our backend services and platform component framework.

Responsibilities

• Design and build responsive, reusable UI components using ReactJS and Next.js — including data visualization dashboards, campaign management interfaces, and customer intelligence widgets.
• Develop large-scale, cloud-ready frontend applications integrated with backend REST APIs, real-time data streams, and Elasticsearch-powered search experiences.
• Manage application state using Redux, ensuring seamless synchronization with backend microservices.
• Build platform-embedded frontend components following the hexagonal UI principle — components are independent, composable, and decoupled from specific data sources via port interfaces.
• Leverage Next.js SSR and SSG capabilities where appropriate for performance-critical views and SEO relevant surfaces.
• Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to rapidly prototype and deliver high-quality, data-rich features.
• Ensure usability, performance, security, and visual consistency across environments and devices.
• Diagnose and fix UI bugs, rendering performance issues, and frontend bottlenecks.
• Write high-quality, maintainable code with thorough unit and integration tests.
• Follow Tekion UI, design, and engineering best practices.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience integrating AI-generated content and LLM-streamed responses into frontend components.
• Familiarity with data visualization libraries (Recharts, D3.js) for analytics and reporting dashboards.
• Experience building embedded micro-frontend components within larger platform shells.
• Exposure to Elasticsearch-powered search UI patterns (faceted search, typeahead, result ranking).

Skills

• 5+ years of experience in frontend engineering; Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Strong hands-on expertise with React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Redux.
• Solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, and web standards (REST, HTTP, JSON, DOM, W3C).
• Experience building enterprise-grade SaaS applications with real-time data and complex state management requirements.
• Familiarity with Next.js App Router, SSR, SSG, and API routes.
• Excellent understanding of frontend performance: code splitting, lazy loading, memoization, virtualization.
• Experience with Git and project management tools (e.g., JIRA).
• Proven experience delivering scalable, high-performance frontend systems with thorough test coverage.
• Strong sense of ownership and bias for action in a fast-paced startup environment.

Benefits & perks

• Competitive compensation and generous stock options.
• Medical insurance coverage.
• Work with some of the brightest minds from Silicon Valley's most dominant and successful companies.
