Job Information
IBM Infrastructure & Platform Engineer in Toronto, Ontario
Introduction
We build tools that sellers actually want to use — and that means they need to look and feel as good as they work. This role sits at the intersection of full-stack engineering and product design, and we need someone who cares as much about the user experience as the underlying architecture. You will own the front-end craft of every application this team ships, while contributing across the full stack.
The AI Productivity Engineering team builds custom internal tooling, dashboards, and AI-powered applications for IBM’s Select Territory sales organization. Our output is only as good as the adoption it achieves, and great design is the unlock.
Your role and responsibilities
Own the design language, UI/UX patterns, and front-end architecture across all applications built by the AI Productivity Engineering team.
Design and implement polished, intuitive user interfaces for internal tools, dashboards, and AI-powered applications using modern frontend frameworks (React preferred).
Contribute full-stack development work — you are an engineer first, not a designer who codes a little.You will build APIs, write database queries, and deploy services.
Translate complex data and AI outputs into clear, actionable visual interfaces that sellers can understand and act on immediately.
Conduct lightweight user research with sellers to inform design decisions — observe their workflows, gather feedback, and iterate rapidly.
Establish and maintain a component library and design system that ensures visual and interaction consistency across the team’s portfolio of applications.
Participate in daily scrums and sprint ceremonies with the broader engineering team.
Required technical and professional expertise
Strong front-end development skills: deep proficiency in React (or equivalent modern framework), HTML/CSS, responsive design, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
Full-stack capability: comfortable working with backend services (Node.js, Python, or Java), REST/GraphQL APIs, and relational or NoSQL databases.
Demonstrated design sensibility: a portfolio or examples of applications you’ve built where the user experience was thoughtfully crafted — not just functional, but genuinely well-designed.
