About the Role
You will play a key role in building and evolving complex, data-driven user interfaces that support mission-critical defense systems. This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical depth, excellent communication skills, and comfort working directly with stakeholders and client engineering teams.
While full-stack experience is a plus, this role requires deep specialization in front-end development.
