About the role

ABOUT THE TEAM & ROLE:
At Swiggy, SDE III(s) play an integral role in owning end-to-end Design/Architecture of complex systems.They co-own the technology vision of the respective team and significantly contribute to the overall success of the team. They partner with the product/business teams to understand the product features and specifications, translate them into high level and low-level design thereby facilitating the team in design and development of mission critical applications.

What qualities are we looking for?

• Proficient understanding of Web Fundamentals - HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript

• Proficient understanding of CSS pre-processing platforms, such as LESS and SASS or CSS in JS

• Proficient understanding of at least one modern UI framework React (preferred), Vue, Angular, or similar; experience with TypeScript is expected

• Experience with modern state and data-fetching patterns TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or m equivalent and monorepo tooling (Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces)

• Experience with Webpack, Vite, TurboRepo, npm/pnpm, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Sound knowledge of design patterns and practices for writing clean, linted, maintainable and reusable code.

• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, GraphQL, micro-frontends, and server-side rendering (SSR) vs. static site generation (SSG).

• Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them.

• Strong grasp of performance engineering Core Web Vitals, bundle budgets, rendering performance — and accessibility (WCAG) as first-class requirements

• Experience with TDD and unit/integration testing libraries (Vitest, Jest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress)

• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) — not just autocomplete-level usage, but agentic workflows for large refactors, test generation, and code migration

• Strong judgment in reviewing and hardening AI-generated code: catching hallucinated APIs, security issues, subtle correctness bugs, and architectural drift

• Ability to establish AI usage practices for a team prompt/context conventions, guardrails, tool evaluation, and mentoring engineers on effective and safe AI workflows

What will you get to do here?

• Own end-to-end frontend architecture decisions rendering strategy, module boundaries, design systems for complex, high-scale consumer products.

• Enable best practices to help the team achieve their technical tasks and continually thrive in improving the technology of the product/team.

• Lead the team's adoption of AI tooling: define usage guidelines, evaluate new tools, and raise the bar for how AI-assisted code is reviewed and verified.

• Develop user-facing features and apps, using AI tooling to move fast without compromising on quality.

• Build reusable code, libraries, and design systems for future use.

• Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs, using AI prototyping tools to explore and validate ideas quickly

• Be extremely detail oriented to strive for pixel-perfect implementation across devices and viewports.

• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability, with measurable performance budgets.

• Understand the internals of third-party libraries being used, and know when to build vs. adopt

• Own end-to-end frontend architecture decisions rendering strategy, module boundaries, design systems for complex, high-scale consumer products.
• Enable best practices to help the team achieve their technical tasks and continually thrive in improving the technology of the product/team.
