Frontend Engineer

New York, NY, Remote. Posted 5 months ago

The role

You will establish core UI interactions, architecture, and workflows for robotics and autonomy interfaces. You will architect complex interfaces to visualize multi-modal datasets and own the frontend foundations across browser and native environments.

What you will do

  • Establish core UI interactions, architecture, and workflows for operators, engineers, and field teams.
  • Architect complex interfaces for visualizing telemetry, live video, 3D scenes, and geospatial maps in real time.
  • Push performance limits of modern frontend frameworks across mobile operating systems.
  • Own 0-to-1 design and implementation of frontend foundations including state management, component systems, and asynchronous data flows.
  • Partner with robotics, autonomy, and backend engineers to translate machine data into operational workflows.

Required qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional experience driving the design, architecture, and implementation of highly complex, business-critical frontend applications.
  • Deep expertise in shipping iOS and Android apps.
  • Strong understanding of network management, memory management, and rendering performance.
  • Experience building applications that handle massive datasets, complex state, real-time data streaming (WebSockets, WebRTC), and asynchronous flows.
  • Strong product and systems thinking.
  • Comfort deeply owning a software stack and navigating the ambiguity of rapid prototyping in a fast-paced startup environment.

Nice to have

  • Experience pushing performance boundaries in native and cross-platform (Swift, Kotlin, KMP, React Native, etc).
  • Background in 3D visualization, rendering, or scene-based interfaces using WebGL/WebGPU, Three.js, CesiumJS or similar technologies.
  • Experience working with geospatial tooling, massive map datasets, or GIS systems (e.g., handling GeoTIFFs, WGS84, custom projections).
  • Familiarity with ultra-low latency workflows, real-time video streaming pipelines, or interfaces operating in constrained edge-network environments.
  • Previous experience designing user experiences for robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial systems, or teleoperation command-and-control platforms.
