Senior Engineer (Full-Stack, Frontend Focus, Forge Applications)

Join Shield AI as a Senior Engineer with a focus on frontend development. You will design and build intuitive applications in TypeScript and React, integrate backend services, and collaborate with internal teams to improve user experience. Your work will accelerate the development of autonomy software and deliver reliable systems faster. Enjoy excellent benefits, flexible work hours, and competitive compensation.

• Design and build intuitive, responsive applications in TypeScript and React, with backend development and service integration as needed.
• Partner with internal subject-matter experts to build Forge applications for simulation, synthetic data generation, test and evaluation, and autonomy performance.
• Work directly with Hivemind Pilot developers and Hivemind Solutions groups to understand requirements, evaluate solutions, and improve the user experience.

• Sound judgment about when to use shared platform capabilities, contribute reusable improvements, or keep a solution specific to an application
• Strong proficiency with TypeScript and React, including component design, state management, asynchronous data handling, routing, auth, and web architecture
• Experience building responsive, accessible interfaces and diagnosing frontend performance issues with profiling
• Ability to work across the stack, including reading, debugging, and extending backend services in Go, Python, or a comparable language
• Ability to translate complex technical workflows into intuitive interfaces in collaboration with users, subject-matter experts, and designers
• Experience delivering and supporting production web applications, with substantial ownership of frontend architecture and user experience
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate across product, design, platform, and domain teams
• Experience testing UI components, application behavior, and complete user workflows
• Experience integrating APIs and handling loading states, errors, long-running operations, and evolving service contracts
• Applications built on extensible platforms, including plugin systems, micro-frontends, Web Components, or VS Code extensions
• Developer tools or technical applications for simulation, experimentation, test and evaluation, or deployment
• Complex interactive interfaces such as scientific visualizations, workflow editors, large data tables, or live telemetry displays
• Frontend performance optimization for large datasets, frequent updates, or computationally intensive views
• Schema-driven API development using OpenAPI, JSON Schema, Protocol Buffers, or generated clients
• Service and device integration using REST, gRPC, WebSockets, MQTT, DDS, MAVLink, or patterns such as pub/sub messaging and streaming telemetry
• AI-assisted application workflows and agent-tool integrations using protocols such as Model Context Protocol
• Familiarity with robotics, autonomy, simulation, or embedded systems, particularly integrating with underlying services, platforms, or devices
