Lead Frontend Architect, Real-time Data Visualization

Give decision-makers the clarity they needexactly when they need it. At Code Metal, real-time physics sims, AI insights, and operator actions converge into massive data streams. As our Visualization & Frontend lead, youll turn that firehose into elegant, high-impact experiences that guide multi-billion-dollar force-design choices driven through wargaming. Were looking for a hands-on architect who can shape a modular UI stack, tame dense geospatial and temporal data, and mentor a small, elite crew to ship polished products fast.What youll do

Architect a next-gen UI framework design a component library and plugin system that lets internal teams (and future third-parties) extend visualizations without touching core code.Render data at scale build responsive views that fuse live sim outputs, AI overlays, and historical datasets into one coherent, zoom-through timeline.Integrate cleanly consume FastAPI/ZeroMQ endpoints from the backend and publish well-versioned client APIs for mission-planning tools and dashboards.Iterate with stakeholders and UX design Leads relentlsly optimize experience driven by performance and feedback from Airforce wargamers and UX leads.Lead by example drive UI/UX best practices, code reviews, design critique, and automated testing; help teammates grow into force multipliers.Ship continuously own the CI/CD pipeline for web and desktop targets, with an eye toward DoD accreditation and cross-domain distribution.Why Code Metal?
