The RoleOur users need to understand the radio spectrum around them quickly, confidently, and often under pressure. We're hiring a UI Engineer to drive the next generation of the Distributed Spectrum product experience: the interfaces through which operators explore spectrum data, direct sensors, and collaborate with AI agents that surface insights and take action.
You'll lead our user-facing UI, own its architecture from the ground up, and define how agentic capabilities show up in the product, not as a chat box bolted to the side, but as a native part of how people work.
What you'll do- Drive the design and delivery of new product experiences, from concept through polished, shipped UI.
- Lead the frontend architecture: application structure, state management, component libraries, design system, build tooling, testing strategy, and performance budgets.
- Integrate the UI deeply with our agentic services and streaming responses, tool-call visualization, human-in-the-loop approvals, real-time updates, and interfaces that stay legible when an agent is acting on the user's behalf.
- Build high-performance visualizations of large, fast-moving datasets (spectrum, maps, time series).
- Partner with product, design, and backend engineers to shape requirements and translate ambiguous goals into concrete interfaces.
- Establish frontend engineering standards, accessibility, testing, code review, and CI practices and help the rest of the team adopt them.
What we're looking for- 4+ years of professional frontend / UI engineering experience shipping production web applications.
- Strong, hands-on experience with both Angular and React, and the judgment to know what each is good for.
- Command of the modern UI stack: TypeScript, component-driven architecture, state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, NgRx, signals), modern build tooling (Vite, esbuild, etc.), and testing (Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress).
- Demonstrated ability to design and build a UI architecture from scratch - you've made the foundational decisions on at least one significant product, not just contributed within an existing one.
- Experience integrating with real-time and streaming backends (WebSockets, SSE) and designing UI for asynchronous, long-running operations.
- Interest in and experience with building interfaces for AI / agentic systems.
- Strong product sense and attention to detail; you care how things feel, not just whether they work.
Nice to have- Experience with data visualization libraries (D3, deck.gl, WebGL / Canvas-based rendering) or mapping frameworks (Mapbox, MapLibre, Cesium).
- Experience building design systems or component libraries used across multiple teams.
- Familiarity with backend development (Node, Python) and cloud deployment of frontend assets.
- Experience designing for operators in high-stakes or time-critical environments.
Who Thrives at Distributed Spectrum - Fast learners over specific backgrounds - We care more about how quickly you can pick up new skills than where you've worked before.
- Intellectual honesty - The right answer matters more than being right. You challenge assumptions, test ideas, and pivot when needed.
- Adaptability - We're organized, but sometimes things change quickly. You find a way to make it work and balance short-term deliverables with long-term goals.
- Ownership of outcomes - You optimize your own time, focus on what matters to deliver quickly, and cut out inefficiencies.
- Not building in a vacuum - You stay connected to the rest of our teams and our customers to make sure all the pieces fit together.
What We Offer - Above-market salary, equity, and benefits package.
- Early Series A Equity
- Excellent health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) match - up to 4% of your salary
- Flexible PTO
- Daily office lunches in NYC
