## Description

As a Frontend Software Engineer at Rackner, you will develop modern application features for a secure mission-planning and decision-support platform supporting a Department of Defense customer. You will translate complex data and technical requirements into clear, responsive user experiences using React, TypeScript, and related technologies.

This is a primarily remote role within the United States. Work will be performed through customer-provided systems, with virtual collaboration across the engineering team and in-person sprint planning at a customer facility in Laurel, Maryland, approximately every six weeks.

You will work on more than isolated interface tickets. This role gives you the opportunity to deepen your experience across secure frontend development, API integration, data-rich applications, automated testing, and collaboration with backend, AI/ML, security, and platform engineers.

This position is contingent upon contract award and final customer approval. The anticipated start date is November 2026.

What You'll Do

 * Build interactive frontend features using React and TypeScript
 * Turn complex mission and technical information into clear, usable workflows
 * Connect frontend components to APIs and backend services
 * Support data-rich, map-based, and decision-support application features
 * Present application data and AI-enabled outputs in ways users can understand and act on
 * Write maintainable, testable code that meets functional and security requirements
 * Develop unit and integration tests for application features
 * Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and security remediation
 * Document application workflows, design decisions, and technical changes
 * Collaborate remotely with backend, AI/ML, security, DevSecOps, and customer engineering teams
 * Participate in periodic onsite sprint planning and technical collaboration in Laurel, If you are a frontend engineer who wants to expand your impact across secure software, modern React and TypeScript development, data-rich interfaces, and mission-focused applications, we would like to hear from you.
