Front-end Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Own front-end delivery on Prevail, the operational planning platform, from interaction design through production
• ▹Build interfaces for real geospatial problems: interactive maps, multiple data layers, large datasets and time-sensitive workflows well beyond a typical CRUD application
• ▹Work with product and design early, turning operational needs into clear flows and production-ready experiences
• ▹Raise the front-end quality bar across the team by reviewing and improving work from engineers with different specialities, including AI-assisted code
• ▹Make thoughtful trade-offs between speed and durability, especially when a high-stakes demo or deployment creates a short deadline
• ▹Help create reusable patterns that keep the product coherent as the team and surface area grow

Requirements

• ▹Strong production experience with React and TypeScript, with front-end engineering as a core part of your craft
• ▹A track record of owning complex interfaces from problem definition through release and iteration
• ▹Strong product and design judgement: you notice weak hierarchy, inconsistent interactions and confusing states before a specification points them out
• ▹Pragmatism and low ego: you can improve rough work from other engineers without turning every implementation choice into a philosophical debate
• ▹Comfort with ambiguity and changing priorities, while keeping the quality of what ships high
• ▹EU or UK citizenship (contractual requirement tied to defence contracts)

Nice to have

• ▹Experience with mapping, cartographic, GIS or other geospatial applications
• ▹Front-end performance work involving large or real-time datasets
• ▹Experience building offline-capable or resource-constrained web applications
• ▹Experience creating or scaling a design system
• ▹Prior work in defence, government or dual-use technology

Soft skills

What we offer

• ▹Top 0.1% European compensation package, including base salary and equity
• ▹Paris or London based
• ▹Ownership of a product surface used in real operational environments
• ▹Direct collaboration with product design and engineering, with room to shape front-end standards as the team grows
