## About the Role

* Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
 * 4+ years building complex full stack applications with real frontend and backend depth
 * Strong UI/UX instincts and the tools to back them up
 * Built production web interfaces with React or a comparable modern framework

WHAT SETS YOU APART

 * Experience with both immediate mode (games, simulation) and retained mode UI paradigms
 * A track record with performance-sensitive application development
 * Familiarity with video streaming protocols
 * WebGL/OpenGL experience
 * Experience with geospatial applications
 * Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance. Active Secret clearance preferred but not required.

## Description

* Help architect and build the full stack of a Command & Control system directing large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft
 * Design the foundational systems, technical patterns, and interfaces that will shape Legion as it scales
 * Build collaborative, real-time infrastructure that allows operators to control large numbers of aircraft simultaneously, including through degraded or intermittent communications
 * Create new ways to represent and interact with vehicle telemetry, sensor data, mission schedules, crew resources, data links, and other complex operational information
 * Take ambiguous operational problems from first principles to deployed capability, often without an existing playbook to follow
 * Own major features end to end, from system design and technical architecture through implementation, testing, and deployment
 * Work closely with operators, designers, and engineers across software, autonomy, and aircraft systems
 * Ship early and iterate quickly, supported by strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices, You'll be one of the earliest engineers shaping how humans command autonomous systems at scale, work that's currently being defined in real time, by a small team, with your fingerprints on the architecture. If you want to build the future of human-swarm interaction rather than maintain someone else's, this is that seat.
