Role: Senior Front-End Engineer
Location/Time zones: US-based (East Coast preferred; Mountain works).
Work setup: Remote (collaborative, fast-moving team).
Mission: Build and ship a dynamic, geospatial web application used in a mission-critical environment.

What you’ll do

  • Own and ship front-end features end-to-end in a TypeScript/React codebase.
  • Build interactive geospatial UI workflows (Cesium-based) and surrounding app UX.
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into working increments: break down tasks, identify dependencies, prioritize, and execute.
  • Improve UI performance and reliability in a data-heavy, dynamic application (not a static marketing site).
  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define contracts, unblock yourself, and move work forward without heavy hand-holding.
  • Contribute to front-end standards: code quality, component patterns, testing strategy, and release hygiene.

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years building production React applications (TypeScript strongly preferred).
  • Strong “get-things-done” engineering instincts: you can take a task and drive it to completion in a small team.
  • Experience working on complex, interactive UIs (state management, async flows, performance considerations).
  • Familiarity with component libraries and design systems (we’re using MUI / Material UI).
  • Solid debugging and problem-solving skills—able to unblock yourself rather than waiting on others.
  • Comfortable collaborating in a shared codebase with standards and best practices.

Nice-to-haves

  • Geospatial/GIS experience (Cesium, map-heavy UIs, geo data interactions).
  • Some backend familiarity (enough to understand APIs, debug issues, and collaborate smoothly).
  • Python experience as a plus (helps when working cross-stack with our environment).
  • Experience supporting simulation-style or real-time-ish workflows (gaming, visualization, mapping, flight/vehicle systems, etc.).

View company profile

At Code Metal, we are driven by a mission to revolutionize the way software is developed for hardware. We are a team of seasoned professionals, drawing on decades of collective experience from the forefront of AI research at institutions like MIT and from industry powerhouses such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. Our journey began with a shared frustration: the immense difficulty and time-consuming nature of translating sophisticated, high-level algorithms into optimized, production-ready code for edge devices. We witnessed firsthand, in environments ranging from developing systems for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to the Microsoft HoloLens, the critical bottleneck that exists between research and real-world application. This experience is the bedrock upon which we built Code Metal.

We are creating a future where developing for hardware is no longer a barrier to innovation. Our AI-powered platform is designed to automate and accelerate this entire workflow. We empower developers to upload their research code in languages like Python, Julia, or MATLAB, and our system seamlessly translates it into highly optimized, low-level code tailored for specific edge-ready chipsets. This isn't just about speed; it's about trust and reliability. Our agentic workflows are modular and verifiable, generating comprehensive test suites and validation artifacts to ensure the resulting code is not only efficient but also robust and correct. We are fundamentally changing the development lifecycle, reducing timelines from months to mere days. By bridging the gap between the brilliant minds in research and the hardware that powers our world, we are unlocking a new wave of innovation in robotics, defense, and beyond. We're not just building tools; we're building the foundation for the next generation of intelligent systems.
