As a senior member of the team, you'll own the frontend experience end-to-end, from design system management to the real-time telemetry dashboards that satellite operators depend on in high-stakes environments. You'll partner closely with UI/UX, backend engineers, and operators to build interfaces that are fast, reliable, and intuitive under pressure, tackling difficult problems like visualizing live satellite state, surfacing alerts, designing data transfer workflows, and ensuring UI functionality during control transfers. You'll also drive frontend best practices and help junior engineers grow.

  • Engineer frontend algorithms and business logic to support scalability, automation, and near-real-time data presentation
  • Write unit tests and documentation for internal users and customers
  • Participate in agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
  • Collaborate with engineers, operators, UI/UX, and customers across departments
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions

  • Familiarity with backend APIs and the ability to design and consume REST APIs effectively
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and drive frontend code quality through reviews and design discussions
  • Proven ability to collaborate across engineering, UI/UX, and operational stakeholders
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate ambiguous requirements independently and drive to resolution
