Full job description

What you’ll do

  • Architect a next-gen UI framework—design a component library and plugin system that lets internal teams (and future third-parties) extend visualizations without touching core code.
  • Render data at scale—build responsive views that fuse live sim outputs, AI overlays, and historical datasets into one coherent, zoom-through timeline.
  • Integrate cleanly—consume FastAPI/ZeroMQ endpoints from the backend and publish well-versioned client APIs for mission-planning tools and dashboards.
  • Iterate with stakeholders and UX design Leads—relentlsly optimize experience driven by performance and feedback from Airforce wargamers and UX leads.
  • Lead by example—drive UI/UX best practices, code reviews, design critique, and automated testing; help teammates grow into force multipliers.
  • Ship continuously—own the CI/CD pipeline for web and desktop targets, with an eye toward DoD accreditation and cross-domain distribution.

Why Us?

  • Mission with impact: your visuals steer the conversations that shape tomorrow’s force.
  • Velocity: tight loops, tiny teams—design in the morning, deploy by evening.
  • Ownership: no spectators—every engineer ships code that matters.
