Software Engineer - Frontend

Swoop Technologies Job OpportunitySwoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world's military and critical infrastructure. We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world's equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf. Imagine the world's equipment - consisting of the electrical grid, communications architectures, manufacturing facilities, and militaries as a trapped supply of inputs possessing the potential to ensure Western military advantage, sovereign control of economically competitive manufacturing capacity, or the creation of a grid that fosters energy dominance. Swoop is liberating these trapped assets, allowing them to contribute to the world's future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety. That is what Swoop is building. Not in the data center or cloud or edge on-premise computing node. In the physical world. This is a hybrid position that requires someone based in Minneapolis/St. Paul OR Washington, DC who can work in-office 3+ days per week.Your Impact:You get to build the web interface which exposes a highly distributed system (servers and edge devices) for real-time decision making and post processing analysis. Complex systems, and the data that transmits between them, has to be managed and surfaced to a user in a way that can be understood. You will build 2D and 3D animated visualizations of customer environments via graphs, geospatial maps, charts, and video/image playback, allow users to collaborate in real time as they interact with these visualizations, and contribute to an SDK that allows third parties to build applications for our system.What You'll Do:Build scalable UI components and APIs to serve/search/visualize streaming and static data.Contribute to libraries to visualize graphs of connected nodes utilizing modern web technologies, such as WebGL, that supports animation, user interactions, and a variety of algorithms to determine placement of nodes.Utilize technologies to build performant 3D interactive renderings of objects, locations, and the globe.You Should Have:4+ yrs of experience in frontend development using JavaScript and CSSWell-versed in ReactCompetent in web performance testing and optimizationUnderstanding of basic software security standardsActive US Security clearance or ability and willingness to be sponsored for a US Security clearanceNice to Haves:Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent technical experienceExperience with NodeJS and server side frameworks, such as ExpressExperience with WebGL, for both 2D and 3D renderingsExperience with Typescript or Tailwind CSSSwoop Technologies is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
