Front-end Developer

Intelic builds the software that makes uncrewed systems work in contested environments. Our platform, Nexus, is a Command and Control (C2) system for heterogeneous drone fleets operating where communications are unstable and GPS is unreliable. We work directly with national ministries of defense and international partners to define the next generation of autonomous systems.

As a software company at our core, we build the intelligence that gives unmanned platforms the speed, coordination, and reliability that critical missions demand. Our technology ensures that decisions are made with accuracy when it matters most.

Why this role exists

We are looking for a Front-end Developer to help scale Nexus, our map-based user interface. This is a specialized role focused on high-stakes information density. Our primary challenge is creating a seamless experience for operators who are actively controlling drone fleets and must make split-second decisions based on live telemetry from multiple flying assets.

We need an engineer who can move beyond the "website builder" mindset to ensure our application stays fluid and responsive while interacting with physical hardware. You will be responsible for ensuring that our UI translates complex, real-time drone data into a reliable tool that prevents cognitive overload, ensuring the interface remains snappy even as the system handles constant data updates from the field.

What you will own

• The Interface Experience: You own the fluid and responsive feel of our 2.5D map-based UI and the broader Nexus platform. You ensure that as we add complex automation features and data streams, the interface remains non-blocking and intuitive.

• System Logic and State: You are responsible for the front-end implementation of mission-critical logic. You ensure the UI accurately reflects hardware capabilities and constraints in real-time, managing complex states that dictate what an operator can do and when.

• Component Evolution: You collaborate with our design team to build and maintain our internal design system. You ensure a high standard of UI consistency and reusability across our different product modules.

• Frontend Resilience and Quality: You are responsible for the stability of our UI. You establish the testing patterns and mock environments that ensure our frontend is as mission-critical as our robotics code.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a developer who takes pride in the reliability and "feel" of their code. You want to move beyond building simple web apps and are ready to tackle data-rich UI challenges.

Experience

• 3+ years of experience building complex frontend applications (e.g., dashboards, interactive maps, or data-rich visualization tools).

• Modern Framework Proficiency: We use Svelte for its efficiency, but we value deep experience in any modern framework

• Real-time Data: You’ve worked with backend services and know how to keep a UI smooth while handling constant updates.

• Reliable Delivery: Practical experience with frontend testing tools (e.g., Playwright, Vitest, or Jest) and an understanding of how code translates into production environments.

Skills and Capabilities

• Smooth UX Focus: You know how to build interfaces that feel light and responsive, even when there is a lot of data on the screen.

• Product Awareness: You care about the why behind a feature. You enjoy the challenge of making complex data intuitive and are comfortable giving input on the roadmap.

• Collaborative Mindset: You enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary engineering environment and understand the build, bundling, and runtime considerations of a multi-language codebase.

• Technical Peculiarities: We do not focus on SEO or public web accessibility (WCAG); our complexity lies in 2.5D visualization, real-time state management, and maintaining a non-blocking UI.

How we work

We run development with a focus on clarity, accountability, and real-world impact. Our front-end team is part of a larger cross-functional engineering organization where we value "field-tested" code. This isn't development in a vacuum—you will have the opportunity to join field tests, step out of the office, and see your UI being used by operators to launch, fly, and control actual drone hardware. Seeing your contributions translate into real-world flight is what drives us.

Why Intelic

• Real Ownership: You have a direct say in our UI evolution and front-end culture.

• Direct Impact: See the results of your work in operational environments where a smooth UI is critical to success.

• Growth Stage: Join at a moment where your input significantly influences our technical practices and how the company delivers at scale.

• The Mission: We build technology that enhances security and keeps people safe.

Benefits

At Intelic, you will be part of an ambitious scale-up where ownership, technical excellence, and impact matter. You will have the autonomy and responsibility to build a security foundation that scales with both innovation and regulation.
