Senior Frontend Software Engineer (React)

YOUR MISSION

Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. True Anomaly is seeking a highly experienced Senior Frontend Software Engineer to contribute to the continuing evolution of our complex spacecraft command and control, mission planning, and modeling and simulation software.

This role is focused on excellence in frontend web development using primarily React and TypeScript. A successful candidate will bring deep enough skill to not just deliver new features but also push the team on our architecture and best practices. They will be a peer who deepens as well as widens our capability to deliver excellent and impactful software.

The application we are building is Mosaic, True Anomaly's space ground system software. In Mosaic we seek to bring command and control, mission planning, training and education, and modeling and simulation together in a modern enterprise class application that drives space superiority. No space industry experience is required for this role, but experience in deep data-heavy applications capturing complex use cases for sophisticated users is helpful. You'll have ownership of challenging, greenfield problems and a chance to fundamentally impact the outcome of future conflict (and the future of the company), all while enjoying world-class benefits including platinum healthcare, flexible work hours/location, highly competitive compensation and a generous stock options package.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build complex web technology-based frontend space ground system software in line with product requirements and UX / UI designs
• Help drive the architecture and best practices of the Mosaic frontend
• Write testable, scalable, maintainable, and extensible code that follows organization and industry best practices
• Consistently deliver mostly bug free features on time in a high paced work culture
• Collaborate with cross functional teams including space operators, designers, backend engineers, and astrodynamics algorithm engineers
• Contribute to conversations concerning full-stack system and architectural design of complex multi-serviced space ground system and simulation software

QUALIFICATIONS

• 7+ years of software development experience
• Demonstrated excellence in building deep and powerful frontend web applications using React and Typescript

• Deep working knowledge of key React support libraries such as Jotai, TanStack, MUI, and D3
• Deep working knowledge of testing frameworks like Jest, Mocha, or Chai
• Extensive experience building, shipping, and maintaining real production software (not just demoware and prototypes)
• Extensive experience working with RESTful, WebSocket, and gRPC based services
• Experience building custom UI component from scratch or built up from existing libraries
• Comfort with Git and Agile tools and processes
• Comfort both contributing to existing systems and building from scratch

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• A strong engineering background in school and/or work experience ideally in Software Engineering, Math, Physics, or other related fields
• Experience with Three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon, or other web-based 3D
• Experience with game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc.)
• Experience in UX/UI design and support tools like Figma
• Strong collaboration and communication skills that let you thrive in a culture that values respectful, professional, and constructive conflict
