Job Details

We are Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS) – the trusted provider of software that enables our customers to develop, deploy, and manage responsible, AI-powered applications and experiences with agility and ease.
We’re proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives, because we believe that people power progress.  
We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer who lives and breathes front-end engineering. You have battle-tested expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern CSS, an obsession with elegant, accessible user experiences, and a passion for building and evangelizing Design Systems. You will co-own the ShareFile Design System alongside Product Design and champion its adoption across dozens of engineering teams. 
This will be a hybrid role working between your home office and our Raleigh NC office. 
In this role, you will: 
  • Own the Design System: architect, implement, and evolve the ShareFile Design System—tokens, components, guidelines, and tooling. Ensure consistency, accessibility, and performance at scale. 
  • Lead UI Platform Engineering: set the technical vision for our front-end platform (React 18+, micro-frontends, modern build tooling). Drive adoption of best practices in performance, security, and testability. 
  • Partner Daily with Product Design: work shoulder-to-shoulder with designers to translate Figma files into code, run design critiques, and keep our component library in lock-step with visual language changes. 
  • Enhance User Experience with Micro-Interactions: Implement thoughtful motion and interaction patterns to create engaging and intuitive user experiences.
  • Evangelize & Mentor: review pull requests, and coach engineers inside and outside your team to use and contribute to the Design System. 
  • Shape Roadmaps: influence quarterly and annual roadmaps, aligning technical investments with product and UX strategy. 
  • Raise the Bar: drive a culture of quality—from design reviews to automated tests to observability in production. 
Your background:  
  • 8+ years building complex, consumer-grade or SaaS web apps.
  • Expert-level React, TypeScript, CSS.
  • Proven track record creating, scaling, and governing Design Systems used by multiple product teams.
  • Deep understanding of web accessibility (WCAG 2.2), performance budgets, and cross-browser nuances.
  • Hands-on experience with micro-frontend architectures and modern CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong communication skills —able to translate between design, engineering, and product stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or similar majors
Additionally, it would be beneficial if you have:   
  • Cloud-native back-end familiarity (C#/.NET microservices, AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience instrumenting UX metrics (Core Web Vitals, usability analytics).
  • Startup mindset - bias for action, high ownership, comfortable in the gray.
If this sounds like you and fits your experience and career goals, we’d be happy to chat. What we offer in return is the opportunity to experience a great company culture with wonderful colleagues to learn from and collaborate with: 
  • Medical, dental, vision, life & disability, and financial benefits (including 401(k) retirement savings plan. Tuition Reimbursement program. Additional voluntary benefits including crucial illness/hospital indemnity, identity theft protection, auto & home insurance, legal, and pet insurance.  
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and best-in-class Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) with a 27-month lookback
  • Flexible paid vacation time, paid day off for your birthday, and company holidays. A variety of leave plans, including Parental Leave. 
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and an employee well-being program focusing on physical, mental, and financial health.
