Are you ready to lean into analytic approaches that show customers the power of both technical and methodological innovation? Join our growing team supporting customer missions as a UI/UX Developer in Reston, VA (hybrid, requiring 2 days onsite).

As a UI/UX Developer, you'll design and build software products users reach for when they need to solve challenging problems, turning complex workflows and large datasets into actionable intelligence. This is a hands-on product design and engineering role, operating at the core of what we do: solving mission problems by transforming complexity into usable and simple tools, owning the development process from user research through production, and obsessing over the details that make our tools a joy to use. You'll start designing and building real products from day one.

What You'll Do 

• UI/UX Design & Implementation: Research, design, and build user-facing products and features from idea to pilot. Design and develop intuitive, responsive user interfaces for primarily web-based applications. 

• Front-End Development: Build front-end components and applications using modern frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or similar), working with full-stack and AI engineers to bring ideas to life 

• User Experience Optimization: Convert real user pain points into creative solutions, visualizations, and interfaces. Translate complex workflows into simple, efficient user experiences that improve usability and adoption. 

• Human-Centered Design: Apply Human-Centered Design principles and direct stakeholder input within short, iterative prototyping cycles - quick discovery conversations, lightweight task and workflow analysis, and putting working prototypes in front of real users early and often - so each proof of concept is shaped by how the mission actually works rather than by assumption or personal preference. 

• Design Options & Trade-Off Analysis: Develop more than one credible way to solve a problem and present those options objectively to users, product leads, and customers - articulating the pros, cons, cost, and risk of each, making a clear recommendation, and being equally prepared to see a different option chosen. 

• Self-Paced Navigation & Summary Analytics: Design navigational experiences that let users click through and explore complex material at their own pace, alongside summary-level analytics and roll-up views that convey the big picture at a glance - both grounded in Human-Centered Design principles and validated with the people who will use them. 

• Usability & Accessibility: Ensure applications meet usability standards and accessibility best practices 

• Design Systems: Contribute to and maintain consistent design patterns, components, and style guides 

• User Research & Feedback: Work directly with users to shape product vision, user experience, and application design. Gather and incorporate user feedback to continuously improve interface design and functionality. 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work as a part of the team turning user requirements into actionable feature sets, collaborating closely with backend engineers, product leads, and stakeholders to align UI/UX with new capabilities. 

• Performance Optimization: Improve front-end performance, responsiveness, and scalability 

Education/Experience:

• Requires Bachelor's degree or 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of degree
• 3+ years designing and building user-facing products

Required Qualifications:   

• Experience with front-end technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) 
• Experience with modern UI frameworks (React, Angular, etc.) 
• Demonstrated experience designing user-centered interfaces for complex applications 
• Understanding of UX principles, usability, and interaction design 
• Working knowledge of Human-Centered Design principles and methods - contextual inquiry, personas, task and journey mapping, iterative prototyping, and usability testing - and the ability to use them to shape and narrow design options 
• Demonstrated ability to develop multiple design options and present them objectively, with the pros, cons, and trade-offs of each clearly articulated for both technical and non-technical audiences 
• Ability to translate user needs into functional design solutions 
• Experience with design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) 
• Experience with data visualization tools 
• Experience designing self-paced, exploratory navigation - progressive disclosure, drill-down, and guided click-through structures that let users control their own path through complex content 
• Experience designing summary-level analytics, dashboards, and roll-up views that give users an at-a-glance picture with a clear path into the supporting detail 
• Familiarity with APIs and backend integration 
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and front-end deployment workflows 
• Experience working in an Agile environment
• Experience designing and developing intuitive user interfaces for data-driven applications 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI eligibility preferred
