Senior Frontend Engineer, OpenSearch Dashboards Platform Team

When someone runs a search, digs through logs to chase down an outage, or explores a dashboard to

understand their data, the screen in front of them is OpenSearch Dashboards. It is the open-source

analytics and visualization interface for OpenSearch, used by developers around the world, and it is

also the foundation of OpenSearch UI, the managed experience that tens of thousands of AWS customers

use every day. The quality of that interface is often the difference between a fast answer and a

frustrating one.

We are looking for a senior frontend engineer to lead how OpenSearch Dashboards is built. You will

own the architecture of a large, long-lived open-source web application, shape how its pieces fit

together as it grows, and set the standard for what good looks like: fast, accessible, reliable, and

genuinely pleasant to use at real-world data scale. A growing part of the work is weaving AI into the

product itself, so people can ask questions in plain language and get to insight faster, and you will

help decide how we do that well.

What makes this role different: you are shaping a product that is both a thriving open-source project

and the interface a huge, varied set of AWS customers depend on. It is a platform other teams build

on top of, and the work you do is visible to and shared with a global community of developers. You

will set frontend direction across the product, make the architecture calls that are hard to reverse,

and raise the bar for every engineer who builds UI here.

Key job responsibilities

Own the frontend architecture of OpenSearch Dashboards: how it is structured, how its parts

compose, and how it stays fast and maintainable as it keeps growing.

- Lead design and delivery of major user-facing capabilities end to end, from the interaction design

through performance, accessibility, and production quality.

- Set and raise the standard for frontend quality: performance at real data scale, accessibility,

testing, and a consistent, high-quality experience across the product.

- Help shape how AI shows up in the product, so customers can get to answers faster, and make the

calls on where it genuinely helps.

- Make the deep technical tradeoffs (how to structure shared UI, how to keep large views responsive)

and bring the team and partner teams along with the decision.

- Mentor other engineers, lead design reviews, and lift the overall craft of the frontend team.

Basic qualifications

- 4+ years of non-internship professional front end, web or mobile software development using JavaScript, HTML and CSS experience
