Job Description

We're not just building software; we're crafting experiences that impact national security with the Minotaur Mission Processor.  Minotaur ingests data from various sensors on manned and unmanned survellience aircraft to enhance an operator's ability to identify tracks from various on-board sensors, from both sea and land.  Innovation isn't just a buzzword here – it's the driving force behind everything we do in national defense. We foster a collaborative and growth-oriented environment where your ideas matter, and your contributions have a tangible impact. If you're a seasoned front-end architect who thrives on complex challenges and wants to leave a lasting mark, you've found your tribe.

 

The Opportunity:

As a Senior Front End Software Engineer, you'll be a linchpin in our engineering team, driving the technical vision and execution for our user-facing applications. With your wealth of experience, you'll not only build elegant and high-performance interfaces but also mentor junior engineers, champion best practices, and contribute to architectural decisions that will shape the future of our products. This isn't just about writing code; it's about leading, innovating, and making a significant impact on a global scale.

 

What You'll Do:

Architect and Develop: Design and implement scalable, robust, and maintainable front-end solutions using Javascript and Typescript. You'll be at the forefront of building features that delight our users and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring our applications are lightning-fast and provide a seamless user experience across various devices and browsers.

Technical Leadership: Serve as a technical leader within the front-end team, providing guidance, mentorship, and code review to ensure high-quality deliverables.

Collaboration and Integration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and back-end engineers to define, develop, and deploy new features and improvements. Your ability to bridge the gap between different disciplines will be crucial.

Champion Best Practices: Advocate for and implement best practices in front-end development, including testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), code quality, accessibility, and security.

Explore and Innovate: Stay abreast of the latest industry trends and technologies, proactively identifying opportunities to leverage them to enhance our products and development processes.

Leverage C++ Expertise: While your primary focus will be on the front-end, your experience with C++ will be valuable in understanding and potentially contributing to performance-critical modules or integrations where relevant.
