Front-end Engineer
Comand Ai
<p style="min-height:1.5em">Comand AI's mission is to build next-generation C2 software with real users in real deployments. We are fully indexed on the success of every user, the interfaces you ship support live operations.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'd join the product development team as a front-end specialist, working closely with product design and engineering. You take an operational problem, explore it, come back with proposals, and iterate. Delivering a clear, fast and dependable user experience is critical to the person using it.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">What this looks like in practice:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own front-end delivery on Prevail, our operational planning platform, from interaction design through production</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build interfaces for real geospatial problems: interactive maps, multiple data layers, large datasets, and time-sensitive workflows well beyond a typical CRUD application</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Work with product and design early, turning operational needs into clear flows and production-ready experiences</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Raise the front-end quality bar across the team by reviewing and improving work from engineers with different specialities, including AI-assisted code</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Make thoughtful trade-offs between speed and durability, especially when a high-stakes demo or deployment creates a short deadline</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Help create reusable patterns that make the product more coherent as the team and surface area grow</p></li></ul><h2>Who We're Looking For</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">We filter hardest on mission drive, low ego, attention to detail, and resilience under pressure. We want someone who cares about front-end engineering as a craft and can still move quickly when the problem is ambiguous.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Must-have:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong production experience with React and TypeScript, with front-end engineering as a core part of your craft</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">A track record of owning complex interfaces from problem definition through release and iteration</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong product and design judgement: you notice weak hierarchy, inconsistent interactions, and confusing states before a specification points them out</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Pragmatism and low ego: you can improve rough work from other engineers without turning every implementation choice into a philosophical debate</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Comfort with ambiguity and changing priorities, while keeping the quality of what ships high</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">EU or UK citizenship (contractual requirement tied to our defence contracts)</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Nice to have:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience with mapping, cartographic, GIS, or other geospatial applications</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Front-end performance work involving large or real-time datasets</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience building offline-capable or resource-constrained web applications</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience creating or scaling a design system</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Prior work in defence, government, or dual-use technology</p></li></ul><h2>What's In It For You</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">A top 0.1% European compensation package, including base salary and equity</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Paris or London based</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Ownership of a product surface used in real operational environments</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Direct collaboration with product design and engineering, with room to shape front-end standards as the team grows</p></li></ul><h2>The Process</h2><ol style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Talent screening</strong>: 30 min, online. We cover your background, motivations, and what you want to own next.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Front-end interview</strong>: 60 min, online. We assess React and TypeScript fundamentals, product judgement, and how you reason through an unfamiliar interface problem.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Onsite in Paris</strong>: half day. You see the product, present a project you are proud of, and work through a front-end design and re-engineering exercise based on a realistic product problem.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Roundtable</strong>: hiring committee reviews the full set of evidence and makes the final decision.</p></li></ol><p>Find <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk">Jobs in United Kingdom</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
