Beacon AI is building an AI platform to enhance flight safety, efficiency, and capability in aviation. The company is backed by top investors and has secured a dozen Department of Defense contracts while partnering with major airlines to deliver mission-critical systems.
As a Frontend Web App Engineer, you will design and implement React-based features for web applications that integrate with the flight safety platform. You'll work with real-time and historical aviation data, collaborating closely with senior engineers, product managers, and UX/UI designers to develop user-facing features that enable interaction with complex aviation datasets.
Key responsibilities include:

- Integrate, process, and visualize data from multiple sources including live streams and archived datasets
- Collaborate with backend engineers, product managers, and designers on feature design and implementation
- Contribute to code reviews and follow established frontend best practices and architectural patterns
- Ensure frontend systems are reliable and maintainable through testing and documentation
- Contribute to reusable components and shared frontend libraries
You should have 2+ years of experience building user-facing web applications (or equivalent through internships, projects, or coursework). Required skills include React, TypeScript, JavaScript, state management, and modern web standards (HTML/CSS). You'll need familiarity with asynchronous frontend patterns and working with APIs or data streams, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-moving environment with attention to code quality, performance, and maintainability.
Bonus qualifications include passion for aviation, experience with mapping or geospatial tools (Mapbox, Cesium), and exposure to live data or video streaming concepts.
