About the role

  • Your work will focus on creating WebGL-based visualizations, optimizing real-time data rendering for massive sensor feeds, and implementing gaming-inspired UI interactions like RTS-style controls, minimaps, and context-sensitive interfaces.
  • This role requires deep expertise in browser-based 3D graphics, performance optimization, and creating interfaces that remain responsive under extreme data loads.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement WebGL-based 3D visualizations for real-time autonomous vehicle coordination and mission planning interfaces
  • Build high-performance data visualization systems using Deck.gl http://Deck.gl to render millions of sensor data points, telemetry streams, and geospatial information
  • Create gaming-inspired UI interactions including RTS-style vehicle selection, minimap systems, context-sensitive controls, and real-time asset tracking displays
  • Optimize rendering performance for browser-based applications handling continuous streams of sensor data, video feeds, and telemetry from autonomous vehicle fleets
  • Implement WebAssembly modules for performance-critical calculations and real-time data processing in gaming-style interfaces
  • Develop interactive 2D/3D mapping systems with real-time overlays for mission planning, route visualization, and operational area displays
  • Build responsive, touch-capable interfaces that function across desktop and tablet form factors for field deployment scenarios
  • Create data visualization pipelines that transform raw autonomous system telemetry into actionable operator insights and mission-critical displays
  • Implement custom WebGL shaders for specialized military sensor data visualization and real-time geographic information display
  • Collaborate with backend engineers to optimize data streaming protocols and minimize latency for real-time command and control operations

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional frontend development experience with emphasis on data visualization and high-performance web applications
  • Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular)
  • Strong experience with WebGL programming, 3D graphics libraries (Three.js, Babylon.js), and GPU-based rendering optimization
  • Proficiency with Deck.gl http://Deck.gl or similar large-scale data visualization frameworks for rendering massive datasets
  • Experience with real-time data streaming and WebSocket-based applications for live data visualization
  • Knowledge of WebAssembly integration for performance-critical frontend calculations and data processing
  • Experience with canvas-based rendering, animation systems, and performance optimization techniques for data-intensive applications
  • U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a security clearance

Nice to have

  • Experience with gaming industry UI development or game engine frontend systems (Unity, WebGL, Unreal Engine web deployment)
  • Background in military command and control interfaces, situational awareness displays, or defense visualization systems
  • Knowledge of geospatial visualization libraries (Mapbox GL, Cesium, Leaflet) and real-time mapping applications
  • Experience with computer graphics programming, shader development, and advanced
  • WebGL techniques
  • Familiarity with autonomous vehicle data formats, sensor fusion visualization, and robotics middleware (ROS2)
  • Understanding of performance profiling tools, memory management, and optimization techniques for browser-based 3D applications
  • Experience with touch and gesture-based interfaces for tablet and mobile deployment scenarios

Skills

  • Systems thinker; operator empathy; bias for reliability and clear visual affordances
  • Visual systems thinker able to translate complex autonomous system data into intuitive, actionable operator interfaces
  • Performance optimization specialist with a deep understanding of browser rendering pipelines and GPU utilization
  • Collaborative mindset comfortable working with autonomous systems engineers, backend developers, and field operations teams
  • Creative problem solver able to adapt gaming and visualization techniques to mission-critical command and control applications
  • Quality-focused commitment to thorough testing, performance monitoring, and interface reliability in operational environments
  • Strong collaboration with backend/platform/autonomy/field ops; crisp writing and RCAs
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Competitive pay
  • Flexible time off
  • Generous PTO policy
  • Federal holidays

Benefits
