Principal Software Engineer

🚀 Principal Engineer – Real-Time Visualization - US Citizen

📍 Remote, US | 💰 $275K–$350K base + equity | Full-time

We’re looking for a Principal Engineer specialising in real-time visualization to help build advanced command-and-control technology for large-scale autonomous systems.

This is far beyond a typical frontend role. You’ll own the architecture and evolution of highly interactive interfaces handling real-time telemetry, geospatial data, sensor feeds, mission planning and large volumes of autonomous systems .

What you’ll do

• Own frontend architecture for a complex real-time command-and-control platform.
• Build high-performance interfaces supporting large numbers of autonomous systems.
• Develop visualization solutions for telemetry, sensor data, scheduling and communications.
• Work directly with operational users to turn real-world requirements into product improvements.
• Set frontend standards and technical direction across the engineering team.
• Mentor senior engineers and drive best practices across performance, testing and DevSecOps.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years building complex production frontend applications.
• Deep experience with React or a comparable modern framework.
• Proven frontend architecture and technical leadership experience.
• Strong understanding of performance-sensitive applications and real-time data.
• Experience mentoring engineers and setting technical direction.

Particularly valuable

WebGL/OpenGL • Geospatial applications • Video streaming • Immediate-mode/game or simulation UI • High-frequency telemetry • Robotics, autonomy, aerospace or defense.

Eligibility — non-negotiable

🇺🇸 Must be a U.S. citizen and currently based in the United States.

This requirement is due to the nature of the work and applicable U.S. Government requirements.

Applications will include specific technical and experience-based questions. Please answer all questions fully and accurately, using specific examples from your experience where requested.

If you want to work on genuinely difficult problems at the intersection of real-time systems, visualization and autonomy , we’d like to hear from you.
