## About the Role

* Active DoD Secret clearance
 * 3+ years of front-end development experience with demonstrated proficiency in React, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
 * Genuine fluency in HCD and UX principles, not just familiarity with the terms, but demonstrated experience working within a human-centered design process and building to validated design outcomes
 * Experience working directly alongside UX researchers or HCD practitioners, translating research-validated wireframes and prototypes into front-end code with high fidelity
 * Experience building and maintaining reusable component libraries or design systems
 * Experience integrating front-end applications with RESTful APIs
 * Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility standards (WCAG), and performance optimization
 * Ability to move fast and iterate without heavy specs or detailed tickets

What Will Set You Apart

 * Experience developing software in DoD or IC environments governed by federal security and compliance requirements, secure coding practices, access control, auditability, and deployment constraints in accredited systems
 * Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud and DoD-accredited DevSecOps platforms, understanding of how classified environment constraints affect front-end tooling and deployment
 * Experience building on platforms up to IL6, or familiarity with DoD Impact Level requirements and how they shape front-end architecture decisions
 * Experience contributing to or leading a component library or design system that served multiple applications or product lines
 * A portfolio of work that demonstrates both technical execution and design sensibility; we want to see that you can tell the difference between a good and a bad user experience, and that your code reflects it
 * SOF operator or SOF-support background with understanding of SOF core activities and mission sets

## Description

LMI is looking for an experienced mid-level Front-End Developer to help build and extend a portfolio of mission applications for a DoD customer on a DoD-accredited cloud platform in AWS GovCloud. You'll be an early member of a small, cross-functional application team working alongside an HCD researcher and a full-stack developer to deliver mission tools that operate up to and including IL6 environments. This position is hybrid with preference given to a San Diego, CA candidate., What You'll Do

 * Implement validated HCD designs, translating wireframes, annotated prototypes, and design specifications into production-quality front-end code with high fidelity to the research-validated user experience
 * Own the component layer, building a reusable, maintainable UI component library that can carry forward across successive mission application builds
 * Collaborate directly with the HCD researcher throughout build, flagging when technical constraints affect design intent, proposing alternatives, and keeping implementation honest to what usability testing validated
 * Integrate front-end components with RESTful APIs provided by the full-stack developer, ensuring data flows surface correctly in the user interface
 * Apply accessibility standards and responsive design principles appropriate for classified government environments
 * Ship incrementally and stay close to users, getting things in front of people rather than perfecting in isolation
