Overnight React Three Fiber Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
True Anomaly is a company dedicated to building technology for space superiority. They are seeking a Staff Front End Software Engineer to lead the technical direction of their spacecraft modeling and simulation software, driving initiatives that enhance engineering efficiency and product strategy.
Responsibilities:
• Lead and deliver large-scale, cross-functional frontend initiatives that align with strategic company objectives, from technical vision through production deployment and long-term evolution
• Define and drive the frontend technical roadmap and architectural strategy, establishing patterns, frameworks, and systems that enable the entire engineering organization to move faster
• Serve as the primary technical decision-maker for frontend architecture, evaluating and adopting new technologies, and establishing engineering standards that balance innovation with maintainability
• Proactively identify systemic technical debt, scalability challenges, and architectural limitations—then build business cases, secure buy-in, and lead multi-quarter initiatives to address them
• Elevate the engineering organization through technical mentorship, establishing best practices, leading design reviews, and developing the skills of senior, mid-level, and junior engineers
• Partner with executive leadership, product, design, backend engineering, space operations, and astrodynamics teams as a key technical stakeholder, influencing product strategy and company direction
• Drive engineering efficiency and excellence by establishing metrics, tooling, and processes that improve code quality, deployment velocity, and developer experience
• Build and maintain technical documentation, architectural decision records, and knowledge-sharing systems that scale organizational learning
• Represent the frontend engineering perspective in strategic planning, resource allocation, and cross-company technical decisions
• Identify and develop emerging technical leaders within the team, creating growth pathways and opportunities for engineers to expand their impact
Qualifications:
Required:
• 12-14 years of software development experience (or 8+ years with a Master's degree, or 5+ years with a PhD)
• Expert-level mastery of HTML/CSS and modern TypeScript/JavaScript, including deep understanding of performance optimization, browser internals, memory management, and runtime characteristics
• Deep expertise in modern React and the broader frontend ecosystem, including architectural patterns for large-scale applications, advanced state management, performance profiling and optimization, and emerging frontend technologies
• Proven track record of establishing comprehensive testing strategies across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers, including championing testing culture and tooling adoption
• Extensive experience designing, building, and evolving component libraries, design systems, and frontend infrastructure that serve multiple teams and products
• Expert-level understanding of distributed systems integration patterns including gRPC, REST, WebSockets, and GraphQL, with experience influencing API design and backend architecture decisions
• Demonstrated ability to work full-stack when necessary, with enough backend and infrastructure knowledge to make informed architectural decisions and unblock teams
• History of leading technical initiatives in Git-based workflows, establishing code review standards, and fostering collaborative engineering culture
• U.S. Citizen and eligible for DoD Secret or TS/SCI clearance
Preferred:
• Strong engineering background in Software Engineering, Math, Physics, Computer Science, or related technical fields
• Proven experience as a technical lead, staff engineer, or principal engineer on production systems with significant user bases and business-critical requirements
• Track record of leading large-scale migrations, architectural overhauls, or platform rewrites while maintaining product velocity
• Deep expertise building and optimizing complex, data-intensive applications with demanding performance requirements (real-time processing, large-scale datasets, complex visualizations, distributed systems)
• Advanced proficiency with Three.js, React Three Fiber, WebGL, or other web-based 3D rendering technologies, including low-level performance optimization and shader programming
• Experience bridging engineering and design through deep UI/UX collaboration, design systems development, and tools like Figma—able to influence design decisions with technical constraints and possibilities
• Experience in highly regulated industries (aerospace, defense, healthcare, finance) with understanding of compliance, security, and operational constraints
• Practical space industry or aerospace experience
• Published technical writing, open source contributions, or conference speaking that demonstrates thought leadership
• Exceptional communication skills that enable you to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels of the organization
