Full Job Description
Most full stack roles ask you to move pixels around a dashboard. This one asks you to build the interface that controls the largest drone swarm on the planet.
You'll help architect the frontend for Legion's Command & Control platform: the software that lets a single operator plan, direct, and execute missions across a networked swarm of heterogeneous aircraft, in real time, over intermittent comms, at a scale nobody else in the industry is attempting. This isn't CRUD. It's real-time distributed systems, dense telemetry visualization, and interface design for a problem space that barely has prior art.
**WHAT YOU'LL DO**
- Help architect the frontend for a C2 system directing swarms of heterogeneous aircraft
- Build distributed, collaborative real-time infrastructure for controlling large numbers of aircraft simultaneously, even when comms drop
- Design and ship new UI concepts for representing vehicle telemetry, sensor data, scheduling, crew resources, data link management, and more, much of it with no existing playbook to follow
- Own full stack features end to end, from design through deployment
- Ship early, ship often, backed by strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps
**WHAT YOU'VE DONE**
- Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- 6+ 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
- Working fluency in C++
- Experience with geospatial applications
**WHY THIS ROLE**
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.
**What We Offer**
- Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
- Medical, dental, vision, and 401k
- PTO and paid sick leave
- Monthly wellness stipend
- Daily catered lunch (office)
- Paid parental leave
- Direct impact on a critical national security mission
- A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
