Senior Frontend Engineer
Overview
ownpath Studios partners with companies to craft great digital experiences. Over the past year, we've worked with enterprises such as Philips Innovation, Hero Motocorp, and PhonePe as well as some fast-growing startups to help build design system applications, an audio editing product, a heartcare product, as well as complex websites (for scale).
What differentiates is we don't limit ourselves to designing on Figma — we care about crafting great products that work in the market, so we bring our business and technical expertise along with design expertise to achieve that.
ownpath started its journey as an Academy, where we've upskilled teams at Gojek, Freshworks, as well as hundreds of designers and helped them unlock exciting opportunities.
