Fullstack Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for entrepreneurial, product- and customer-focused full-stack engineers to own up to several bespoke UIs for users from interceptor drone navigators to security forces operators. When a feature needs changes in other parts of our system you will often jump in and help implement those. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you’ll shape real-time geospatial UIs that integrate live video, maps, and controls for complex defense systems.

You will work closely with product, design, and customers to turn ambiguous needs into shipping products at lightning speed. You will occasionally travel to the customer to help learn the real requirements and constraints and iterate with them in the field. The role is frontend-heavy (React / TypeScript), but you should be comfortable working across the stack when needed.

Required Qualifications

• Experience building production frontend applications with React and TypeScript (or equivalent modern web stack).
• Strong intuition for UI/UX.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, taking fuzzy problems and driving toward concrete solutions with minimal high-leverage scope.
• Strong ownership mindset focused on shipping customer value and delivering robust, usable solutions.
• Full-stack or generalist experience, comfortable contributing to the backend when needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience optimizing web applications in resource and bandwidth constrained environments
• Experience with real-time, data-heavy, or geospatial applications (e.g., maps, tracking, control systems, fleet management).
• Experience with Deck.gl, Mapbox/MapLibre
• High-agency, go-getter who enjoys high-ownership roles and shaping product/architecture in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Collaborative and motivated by working on mission-critical, real-world problems.
• Experience building ATAK integrations or other Android development.
• Experience building offline-first web applications
