Software Engineer, Frontend Lead
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own and architect the frontend for a C2 system directing swarms of heterogeneous aircraft
Build real-time, collaborative interfaces for controlling large numbers of aircraft simultaneously, even when comms drop
Design and ship new UI concepts for representing vehicle telemetry, sensor data, scheduling, crew resources, data link management, and more, much of it with no existing playbook to follow
Set the frontend architecture, patterns, and standards that the rest of the team builds on
Ship early, ship often, backed by strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps
WHAT YOU'VE DONE
Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
8+ years building complex, production frontend applications, with a track record of owning frontend architecture
Elite UI/UX instincts and the tools to back them up
Deep experience building production web interfaces with React or a comparable modern framework
Experience mentoring engineers and setting technical direction for a frontend team
WHAT SETS YOU APART
Experience with both immediate mode (games, simulation) and retained mode UI paradigms
A track record with performance-sensitive application development
Familiarity with video streaming protocols
WebGL/OpenGL experience
Experience with geospatial applications
WHY THIS ROLE You'll be one of the earliest engineers shaping how humans command autonomous systems at scale, work that's currently being defined in real time, by a small team, with your fingerprints on the architecture. If you want to build the future of human-swarm interaction rather than maintain someone else's, this is that seat.
