Senior Software Engineer (UDS Fleet Team)

Join Defense Unicorns, a leading defense technology company, as a Senior Software Engineer on our Fleet team. In this role, you will develop complex, data-driven interfaces for managing and operating distributed systems. You will own the frontend experience while collaborating with backend engineers, platform engineers, and designers. This is a remote position with a comprehensive benefits package, including unlimited paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, and company stock options.

• Conduire et piloter l'expérience frontend tout en travaillant sur l'ensemble de la pile pour garantir une alignement étroit entre le comportement de l'interface utilisateur, les API et les capacités du système sous-jacent.
• Collaborer étroitement avec les ingénieurs backend, les ingénieurs de plateforme et les designers pour construire des expériences réactives, fiables et intuitives sur des API complexes et l'état des systèmes distribués.
• Contribuer à l'architecture frontend et aux décisions techniques, identifier et améliorer les performances, la fiabilité et l'utilisabilité des applications.
• While frontend-focused, this role requires strong full-stack awareness—understanding how data flows through systems, how APIs are designed, and how frontend decisions impact system behavior, especially in asynchronous and distributed environments
• Experience with testing strategies across frontend applications
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Strong familiarity with modern frontend tooling and build system best practices
• Experience working closely with backend systems and distributed architectures
• Strong understanding of API design and integration (REST, GraphQL, etc.)
• Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (Svelte or React preferred; Angular or similar frameworks acceptable)
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate complex systems
• Experience building data-intensive or state-heavy applications
• 5+ years of experience in frontend or fullstack development
• Experience building interfaces for infrastructure, DevOps, or platform systems
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, or distributed systems concepts
• Experience designing for constrained or unreliable network environments
• Contributions to open source or developer tooling projects
• Experience with CI/CD and deployment pipelines
• Don’t have all the preferred experience or qualifications? Studies show that underrepresented groups like women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs if they don't meet every requirement listed
• At Defense Unicorns, we're committed to diversity. If you're enthusiastic about the role but don't match every criteria, we encourage you to apply. You could be the perfect fit for this or another role!
