About this role
The application window is expected to close on: 08/23/2026 Job posting may be removed earlier if the position is filled or if a sufficient number of applications are received . This role is based out of our Milpitas office on a hybrid schedule (onsite Tuesday through Thursday). Meet the Team Cisco Cloud Control is Cisco's next-generation, AI-powered platform for managing, securing, and operating across the Cisco portfolio from a single place. Studio is where customers build on it — turning a prompt into a running, production-grade application, whether that's an interactive app or an autonomous agent that does work unattended, all governed, hosted, and surfaced natively inside Cloud Control. It's for everyone—engineers, non-technical builders, and AI agents—and brings together an App Builder and a bring-your-own coding-agent path, with the docs and resources to build and manage apps your own way. We're building the platform for AI app development, and Studio is the craft-defined surface on top of it. We're hiring a Frontend Software Engineer to own how that experience is engineered.
Your Impact
Design and build the end-to-end Studio experience in React 18+ and TypeScript within a large-scale Nx monorepo . Unify the App Builder and BYO coding-agent paths into a single, cohesive user experience. Develop the prompt-to-app loop, integrating streaming LLM interfaces, agentic flows, and multimodal inputs. Implement features across a microfrontend architecture (Module Federation) while maintaining strict performance budgets for data-rich visualizations. Write reliable automated tests (unit, integration, E2E) and contribute to frontend observability and CI/CD pipelines.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree + 8 years of related experience, Master's + 6 years, or PhD + 3 years. 5+ years of professional experience building web applications using React and modern JavaScript (ES6+). 3+ years of experience developing with TypeScript in a production environment. Experience working within a monorepo architecture (e.g., Nx , pnpm /Yarn workspaces). Demonstrated experience implementing automated testing (e.g., Jest, Playwright) and CI/CD pipelines.
Preferred Qualifications
Domain expertise in AI application platforms, LLM streaming UIs, or agentic app-generation products. Hands-on experience with microfrontend architectures and modern bundlers (Module Federation, Rspack , Webpack). Advanced UI skills using React Router v6/7, TanStack Query/Table, and Framer Motion. Experience building low-latency, data-rich visualizations for large datasets. Strong understanding of backend integration (REST, GraphQL , gRPC , Node.js). Why Cisco?
