Overview

Give decision-makers the clarity they need—exactly when they need it. At Code Metal, real-time physics sims, AI insights, and operator actions converge into massive data streams. As our Visualization & Frontend lead, you’ll turn that firehose into elegant, high-impact experiences that guide multi-billion-dollar force-design choices driven through wargaming. We’re looking for a hands-on architect who can shape a modular UI stack, tame dense geospatial and temporal data, and mentor a small, elite crew to ship polished products fast.

What you’ll do

  • Architect a next-gen UI framework —design a component library and plugin system that lets internal teams (and future third-parties) extend visualizations without touching core code.
  • Render data at scale —build responsive views that fuse live sim outputs, AI overlays, and historical datasets into one coherent, zoom-through timeline.
  • Integrate cleanly —consume FastAPI / ZeroMQ endpoints from the backend and publish well-versioned client APIs for mission-planning tools and dashboards.
  • Iterate with stakeholders and UX design leads —relentlessly optimize experience driven by performance and feedback from Airforce wargamers and UX leads.
  • Lead by example —drive UI / UX best practices, code reviews, design critique, and automated testing; help teammates grow into force multipliers.
  • Ship continuously —own the CI / CD pipeline for web and desktop targets, with an eye toward DoD accreditation and cross-domain distribution.

Why Code Metal?

  • Mission with impact : your visuals steer the conversations that shape tomorrow’s force.
  • Velocity : tight loops, tiny teams—design in the morning, deploy by evening.
  • Ownership : no spectators—every engineer ships code that matters.

    • Must-have credentials

  • 6+ years building and deploying data-rich, production-grade web applications.
  • Mastery of modern TypeScript / JavaScript frameworks and state-management patterns.
  • Proven record designing modular, extensible frontends that multiple teams can evolve in parallel.
  • Deep experience visualizing large datasets (time-series, geospatial, graph) in real time.
  • Strong grasp of secure, maintainable build and packaging workflows.
  • Active Secret clearance (or the ability to obtain quickly).

    • Bonus points

  • WebGL / WebGPU, deck.gl, Cesium, or other high-performance rendering libraries.
  • Cross-platform desktop packaging (Electron, Tauri, Progressive Web Apps).
  • Familiarity with human-factors design for mission-critical environments.
  • TS / SCI clearance.

    • Benefits

  • Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision.
  • 401k with 5% matching.
  • Paid Time Off (Uncapped Vacation, plus Sick & Public Holidays).
  • Flexible hybrid work arrangement.
  • Relocation assistance for qualifying employees.
