Team Leadership
Build, lead, and mentor a team of frontend/full-stack developers
Define team standards, development processes, and best practices
Drive execution, delivery planning, and technical quality
Support hiring, onboarding, and growth of team members
Technical Leadership
Lead the design of the architecture (including microfrontend approach)
Guide implementation of a real-time, high-performance C2 application
Ensure scalability, maintainability, and modular system design
Make key technology decisions and define development guidelines
Review designs and code, ensuring alignment with architecture and standards
Cross-Team Collaboration
Work closely with Core (backend) and Edge (on-device) teams
Translate product roadmap and system constraints into technical direction
Ensure alignment between frontend, backend, and edge capabilities
Drive integration strategies across:
Real-time communication layers
Video streaming pipelines
Telemetry and control systems
System Ownership
Own the end-to-end frontend domain within a distributed system
Balance product requirements with technical constraints (real-time, air-gapped, edge)
Identify risks, trade-offs, and long-term architectural considerations
Lead debugging and resolution of complex cross-system issues
What Makes This Role Unique
Opportunity to build and lead a team from scratch
Direct impact on the core operator interface of a real-world system
Work across frontend, backend, and edge domains

Distributed systems / messaging (Kafka, Redis, etc.) - Advantage
Understanding of performance, scalability, and state management
System & Domain Understanding
Experience working in distributed systems environments
Ability to understand and work across backend and edge systems
Experience in systems involving video streaming, telemetry, or real-time control – strong advantage
Familiarity with air-gapped or constrained environments – advantage
Nice to Have
