About the role
Frontend Engineer (UI/UX)
We're looking for a Frontend Engineer to design and build modern, responsive web applications for Command & Control (C2) and collaborative autonomy platforms. You'll create intuitive, high-performance interfaces for mission management, autonomous system coordination, mapping, and real-time decision support while helping shape the future of autonomy at scale.
What It's Like to Work Here
We're a fast-paced engineering team that believes the best products are built by testing early, iterating often, and shipping quickly. Engineers have a high degree of ownership and work across the entire product lifecycle—from idea to deployment.
Field testing is a core part of how we build. We prefer to be on the water daily, validating new features, observing operators, and seeing our systems perform in real-world conditions. That direct connection between engineering and field operations helps us make better design decisions, move faster, and build products that solve real problems.
What You'll Work On
-
Design and build modern web applications using React , Redux , and TypeScript.
-
Shape the user experience for next-generation Command & Control (C2) and collaborative autonomy platforms.
-
Build intuitive interfaces for planning, monitoring, and coordinating teams of autonomous systems.
-
Help evolve collaborative autonomy from smaller coordinated teams to large, heterogeneous fleets operating across domains.
-
Design user experiences that enable operators to confidently command, monitor, and manage increasingly complex autonomous missions at scale.
-
Build interactive mapping, mission planning, and situational awareness experiences using Mapbox , MapLibre , and real-time geospatial data.
-
Create real-time dashboards and operational visualizations powered by live telemetry, WebSockets, and cloud services.
-
Build scalable frontend architecture that supports increasingly complex missions, larger deployments, and new autonomous capabilities.
-
Work closely with autonomy, robotics, and backend engineers to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy new capabilities.
Requirements
-
3+ years of experience building production web applications with React .
-
Strong experience with Redux (or similar state management libraries).
-
Experience with Mapbox , MapLibre , or other interactive mapping frameworks.
-
Strong understanding of TypeScript, modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
-
Strong UI/UX skills with an eye for clean, intuitive, and visually polished interfaces.
-
Ability to simplify complex operational workflows into intuitive user experiences.
-
Experience consuming REST APIs, WebSockets, connectRPC, or gRPC services.
-
Experience building responsive, production-quality web applications.
-
Familiarity with Git, CI/CD, and Agile development practices.
-
Nice to Have
-
Experience developing Command & Control (C2), collaborative autonomy, mission planning, robotics, or autonomous systems software.
-
Experience with mapping, telemetry, real-time operational visualization, or fleet management systems.
-
Familiarity with Figma, design systems, or component libraries.
-
Experience with Deck.gl, D3.js, or other visualization libraries.
-
Working knowledge of Go and AWS.
-
Experience with Kubernetes, AWS Lambda, or distributed systems.
-
Knowledge of WebRTC or SRT streaming.
