About the role
Mission Control is a tailored collection of UIs for our customers to interact with our autonomy in Defense. We and our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi-agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.
This role is a "startup within a startup" moving with day-long iteration cycles, and supplying much-needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry.
Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive frontend platform. This will include:

• Data-oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data
• Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures
• Much more!

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Design and implement a data-oriented frontend UI/UX platform
• Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows, developing a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX
• Work with other teams to integrate your frontend implementation with a state-of-the-art in-house simulator, data-transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience with full-stack web development
• Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems
• A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces
• A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team
• U.S. citizenship (legally required) and eligibility to obtain a security clearance

Nice to have:

• Aptitude with spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering
• Experience with React, Typescript or Angular technologies
