Our core team is an impressive group of engineers with exceptional leadership at the helm. Black Cape is led by proven business and engineering leaders with a track record of building innovative technology companies focused on building mission applications. We support many programs and agencies as both a prime and a subcontractor and created a strong reputation working with top tier partners doing work for all major Intelligence Community agencies, DoW, and Special Operations customers. Our engineer-led software teams develop technical solutions on an aggressive schedule across the DoW and IC to meet customer needs. Our engineers apply proven, repeatable software, technical, and analytical approaches to build solutions and have frequent interaction with end users to produce and deploy solutions. We bring experience in building, integrating and deploying AI/ML solutions using Google TensorFlow, Python scikit-learn, and other tools. Black Cape's approach to solution development combines lessons learned from developing and deploying applications to customer cloud environments with industry best practices in Agile development and DevOps. What we are hiring: We are seeking a talented and security-cleared UI/UX Designer to join our mission-focused team. The systems you build will directly support national security, tactical operations, and critical decision-making for our government customers. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex government data and intuitive, human-centered software. Working directly within secure government facilities, you will collaborate face-to-face with developers, product owners, and end-users to drive the visual direction of our applications. As the core designer for these systems, your primary responsibilities will include: * Wireframing & Low-Fidelity Mockups: Distilling complex, secure workflows into clean, structural layouts that allow for rapid iteration and alignment among stakeholders. * High-Fidelity Mockups: Crafting detailed, interactive mockups that bring clarity to highly technical government data and serve as a clear blueprint for developers. * Collaborative Design: Transforming feedback from analysts and operators into elegant, secure, and highly functional interfaces. ## Related Videos - [Learn Enough Design to Be Dangerous](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/577-learn-enough-design-to-be-dangerous) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - CSS is DOOMed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1851-wearedevelopers-live-css-is-doomed) - [Common Mistakes in Vue.js and How to Avoid Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/958-common-mistakes-in-vue-js-and-how-to-avoid-them) ## Related Articles - [Top 7 CSS Frameworks in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/362-top-7-css-frameworks-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
