About the job
Empower decision-makers with timely insights at Code Metal. Here, real-time physics simulations, AI-driven insights, and operational actions coalesce into expansive data streams. As the lead for our Visualization & Frontend team, you will transform this overwhelming influx of information into sophisticated, impactful experiences that inform multi-billion-dollar strategic choices in force design, guided by wargaming principles. We seek a hands-on architect to construct a modular UI stack, navigate complex geospatial and temporal data, and mentor a select group of talented engineers to deliver high-quality products swiftly.
Your Responsibilities
- Architect an innovative UI framework: Create a component library and plugin architecture that enables internal teams and future partners to enhance visualizations without altering the core codebase.
- Render data at scale: Develop responsive visualizations that combine live simulation outputs, AI insights, and historical data into a seamless, interactive timeline.
- Integrate smoothly: Utilize FastAPI/ZeroMQ endpoints from the backend and provide well-versioned client APIs for mission planning and dashboards.
- Collaborate with stakeholders and UX design leads: Continuously refine user experience based on performance metrics and feedback from Air Force wargamers and UX specialists.
- Lead by example: Promote UI/UX best practices, conduct code reviews, participate in design critiques, and implement automated testing; support team members in becoming force multipliers.
- Continuous deployment: Manage the CI/CD pipeline for web and desktop applications, with a focus on DoD accreditation and cross-domain distribution.
Why Join Code Metal?
- Impactful mission: Your visualizations will contribute to discussions that shape the future of military force structure.
- Agility: Work in tight iterations with small teams—design in the morning and deploy by evening.
- Ownership: No bystanders here—every engineer plays a crucial role in shipping meaningful code.
