Cognizant is a global technology and professional services company that helps organizations modernize technology, reimagine processes, and transform customer experiences at scale. Within our Digital Engineering practice, we combine deep engineering expertise with cutting-edge technologies such as cloud, data, and AI to build innovative, scalable digital solutions.

Our teams operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where innovation and continuous learning are at the core.

About the Role
You will work in multidisciplinary teams alongside proposition managers, journey experts, UX/UI designers, data analysts, developers, architects, business analysts, and product owners.

  • Ensure performance optimization and “snappy” user experiences across the application
  • Align with developers, architects, and product owners to uncover and address all relevant use cases

Your Profile
You are a proactive and adaptable front-end developer who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You think ahead, balance detail with the bigger picture, and make pragmatic decisions about when to abstract and when to keep solutions simple. Strong communication and collaboration skills enable you to work effectively across teams and disciplines.
