Our mission is to be the technology backbone for strategic competition against peer adversaries. These missions – including intelligence, information operations, special activities, and perception management – are happening today and their success or failure will determine if we go to war tomorrow. We've been on the front lines of these missions since 2019, and have grown to support a wide range of missions across all US service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, interagency stakeholders, and the intelligence community. We deploy both hardware and software products to support people on the front lines that span collection, planning / assessments, and effects. We've grown from $3M in run-rate revenue in 2021 to $80M in run-rate revenue today. We've been profitable since 2022 and have raised $91M in venture capital funding through Series B. We're valued at $1.5B as of 2025.

About the role: We're looking for our first senior or staff-level design engineer to thread the important needle between design and engineering. Yes, we know we’re looking for a unicorn – someone who can both design effectively and write production-quality code. This rare combination of skills is essential as we scale our products and establish design patterns that will influence our work for years to come. You’ll join our design team and report directly to our Head of Design. If you’re passionate about building robust design systems and crafting code that brings great user experiences to life while making a meaningful impact on national security, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Shape the Design System: Own and evolve our design system to ensure it scales with our growing product needs, while maintaining consistency and usability across all platforms.
• Front-end Development: Write clean, reusable code in React and TypeScript, building components that will be used by every engineer (setting the standard for frontend development) and visible across customer-facing products.
• Write Great Documentation: Write component and pattern guideline documentation that is clear and helps our team move fast with cohesion.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with design, product, and engineering teams to turn product concepts into well-executed, high-performing user interfaces.
• Prototype and Iterate: Work quickly to prototype new features and interactions in design and code, testing ideas before full implementation.
• Design and Build Special Projects: You might collaborate with Brand design on bringing to life an exciting new microsite or build and maintain tools that enhance the efficiency and collaboration of our teams.
• Maintain High Standards: Focus on performance, accessibility, and usability, ensuring that all products not only meet technical requirements but also deliver exceptional user experiences.

What We Look For

• Proven Experience: 5+ years of engineering and/or product design experience.
