Entry Level Ui Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

We are hiring a Front End Software Engineer!
Location: Tempe AZ
The drone industry is not coming it is here, and it is moving faster than any platform is prepared for. At Deus X Defense, we are building the command and control infrastructure that ties autonomous security systems together in real time: drones, ground robotics, live sensor feeds, and the humans who act on all of it. The software that connects those systems has to be fast, intuitive, and built to perform when the stakes are real.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Deus X Defense is an emerging leader in autonomous security, deploying drone-based solutions to supplement
traditional manned guarding. The company is actively expanding into ground robotics and maritime operations, with a proprietary Command & Control (C2) platform in development that will unify fixed, pivoting, drone, ground robot, and maritime camera feeds into a single integrated operational system. The long-term roadmap includes AI-driven
autonomy across all platforms with human-in-the-loop oversight for critical alerts and events.

The Front End Software Engineer at Deus X Defense builds and owns user-facing features that power the product
experience. Working closely with product and design, this role translates requirements into responsive, high-quality
interfaces while integrating with backend systems and APIs. At this level, they operate with solid ownership - writing clean, maintainable code, improving performance, and contributing to overall front-end architecture and best
practices. The ideal candidate is technically sharp, detail-oriented, and energized by building interfaces that operate
in real-time, high-stakes environments.
KEY DELIVERABLES
01 Build the core UX experience for DXD, including the primary map and C2 interface
02 Establish all standard interaction models, structure, and approach for long-term buildout
03 Deliver reliable, end-to-end live streaming from all platforms
