The Challenge
We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer with a passion for solving problems to join our agile Product Engineering team at OneTrust. Principal Software Engineers are responsible for developing, contributing to decisions related to design and architecture of new frontend features while supporting existing development efforts for our industry-leading platform.
Your Mission
As a Platform Frontend Engineer, you will operate with a platform-first mindset, building and evolving UI capabilities that scale consistently across the entire product ecosystem. You will partner closely with UX, Product, and UI Architecture teams to design and deliver standardized, reusable UI building blocks (organisms/patterns) that enable multiple product teams to build consistent, high-quality experiences efficiently.
You will focus on creating framework-level solutions rather than feature-level implementations, ensuring that all UI components are extensible, composable, and aligned with platform standards. Your work will directly influence how frontend solutions are built across teams by driving consistency, reusability, and long-term scalability.
The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in JavaScript and Angular, along with deep experience in building platform-grade UI systems, including design systems, component libraries, and shared frameworks. You should have a strong understanding of how to abstract common patterns and deliver robust, reusable, and performance-optimized components that seamlessly integrate across diverse applications.
What You’ll Drive
Develop platform-level UI components and patterns that are reused across multiple products and teams
Establish and enforce frontend standards, architecture, and best practices across the organization
Build and maintain scalable component libraries and design system integrations

Ensure UI solutions are consistent, accessible, performant, and responsive at scale
Enable product teams by providing clear contracts, documentation, and extensibility models
Continuously evolve the frontend platform to support multi-team, multi-product use cases
What Good Looks Like
Prioritizes platform impact over local feature optimization
Thinks in terms of systems, patterns, and reuse, not pages or screens
Builds with forward compatibility and extensibility in mind
Drives standardization while balancing flexibility for product teams
Creates high-quality abstractions that reduce duplication and accelerate delivery
