Senior Software Engineer - Autonomous and Unmanned Systems (FedD178)

5+ years of experience in frontend or full-stack software development.

Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (Svelte or React preferred; Angular or similar frameworks acceptable).

Strong familiarity with modern frontend tooling and build system best practices.

Experience with testing strategies across frontend applications.

Experience building data-intensive or state-heavy applications.

Strong understanding of API design and integration (REST, GraphQL, etc.).

Defense Unicorns is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our Autonomous and Unmanned Systems Delivery Team, focused on integrating and delivering Fleet Management and Edge Management capabilities aboard unmanned systems operating in

distributed and disconnected environments

This role is centered on developing complex, data-driven interfaces that allow users to understand, manage, and operate distributed systems across edge and remote environments.

These are not simple CRUD interfaces, they are operational control surfaces for real-world systems.

You will hone a frontend experience tailored to our nation’s most experienced warfighters, while working across the stack to ensure tight alignment between UI behavior, APIs, and underlying system capabilities.

You’ll collaborate closely with backend engineers, platform engineers, and designers to build responsive, reliable, and intuitive experiences on top of complex APIs and distributed system state.
