Swarm Aero is building the world's largest swarming UAV network and Command & Control software to coordinate thousands of heterogeneous autonomous aircraft. The company is Series A-funded with a team of aerospace veterans from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
You will lead frontend architecture for Legion, the Command & Control platform that enables a single operator to plan, direct, and execute missions across networked swarms of aircraft in real time, even with intermittent communications. This role goes far beyond typical dashboard work—you'll architect interfaces for real-time, dense telemetry visualization and sensor data management at a scale and complexity with minimal industry precedent.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning and architecting the frontend for a C2 system directing heterogeneous aircraft swarms
- Building real-time, collaborative interfaces for controlling large numbers of aircraft simultaneously, with graceful degradation during communication loss
- Designing and shipping new UI concepts for vehicle telemetry, sensor data, scheduling, crew resources, and data link management
- Setting frontend architecture, patterns, and standards for the team
- Shipping frequently with strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices
You bring 8+ years of production frontend development with a track record of owning architecture. You have elite UI/UX instincts, deep React (or equivalent modern framework) experience, and a history of mentoring engineers and setting technical direction. Ideally, you have experience with both immediate mode (games, simulation) and retained mode UI paradigms, performance-sensitive application development, video streaming protocols, WebGL/OpenGL, and geospatial applications.
This is an opportunity to shape how humans command autonomous systems at scale—work currently being defined in real time by a small team. ITAR compliance required: U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident status needed.
