Job summary

Blackshark.ai is seeking a Frontend Engineer to build a 3D viewer inside the HUNTR application. You will render 3D Tiles in the browser and integrate the viewer into the end-to-end workflow, alongside existing imagery and detections in the same interface, without a download step.

You will design the interaction model for operational use, optimize performance on ordinary laptops, and ensure the viewer works across SaaS, on-premise, edge deployments.

Qualifications

• Strong practical experience with Vue.js and building complex, stateful SPAs.
• Rendered 3D geospatial content in the browser with Cesium or an equivalent library.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals: HTML, CSS, TypeScript, tests, CI/CD, performance profiling.
• Familiar with geospatial concepts: CRS, raster vs vector data, tiled data structures, GeoJSON.
• Experience consuming REST APIs and managing asynchronous state against long-running backend jobs.
• Strong UX sense in technical products and ability to translate complex workflows into clear interfaces.

Responsibilities

• Build the 3D viewer inside the HUNTR application that renders pipeline outputs as 3D Tiles in the browser.
• Integrate the viewer into the end-to-end workflow, showing 3D results alongside imagery and detections in the same interface.
• Design interaction models for navigation, inspection, and orientation between 3D and 2D data.
• Coordinate with teams producing the tilesets to ensure browser consumption is aligned with upstream constraints.
• Keep the viewer performant on ordinary laptops, optimizing tile size, texture compression, and load times.
• Ship one viewer across SaaS, single-tenant cloud, on-premise and edge deployments.

Job description

Satellite and drone imagery access is on the rise, and traditional image processing methods are struggling to keep up. We’ve never had more data, turning those pixels into trusted, measurable understanding still takes months of AI work. HUNTR™ reduces this to hours.

We do not sell models. We provide the infrastructure that lets governments and enterprises build, validate, deploy and operate visual models they own. From pixel inputs to operational 2D and 3D outputs, under full sovereign control. Once deployed, every new sensor observation improves the customer’s understanding of reality. Wherever the mission takes place, HUNTR™ runs there - from SaaS and private cloud to on-premise, classified networks and edge hardware in the field

We kicked off in 2020 and have secured $35 million in Series A funding from a lineup of top US and European investors, among which Microsoft M12, Point72 Ventures, Maxar, In-Q-Tel, SAFRAN, and ISAI/Capgemini.

The HUNTR™ workflow produces 3D outputs alongside 2D detections. Customers who need full simulation fidelity consume those through game engines. Others need to open the result in a browser, navigate it and make decision. We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to build a 3D viewer inside the HUNTR™ application.

Your Mission

• Build the 3D viewer inside the HUNTR application thatrenderspipeline outputs as 3D Tiles in the browser, on the hardware analystsactually have.
• Integrate the viewer into the end-to-end workflow. When a job finishes, the 3D result appears next to the imagery and detections that produced it, in the same interface, without a download step.
• Design the interaction model for operational use: navigation, inspection, orientation between the 3D view and the underlying 2D data.
• Work with the teams producing thetilesetson what the pipeline emits, so the browser consumes itdirectlyand rendering constraints are fixed upstream rather than patched in the client.
• Keep it performant on ordinary laptops. Tile size, texture compression, requestpatternsand load time are measured, not guessed.
• Ship one viewer across SaaS, single-tenant cloud,on-premiseand edge deployments.

Your Profile

• You have strong practical experience with Vue.js and building complex, stateful single-page applications.
• You have rendered 3D geospatial content in the browser with Cesium or an equivalent library, and you have worked with 3D Tiles or a comparable tiled 3D format
• You have solid software engineering fundamentals: HTML, CSS, TypeScript,componentand integration testing, CI/CD, performance profiling.
• You are familiar with geospatial concepts: coordinate reference systems, raster vs. vector data, tiled data structures,GeoJSON.
• You consume REST APIs and manageasynchronousstate against long-running backend jobs
• You havea strong senseforUX in technical products. You translate a complex workflow into a clear interface withoutstripping outits power.
• You are outcome-oriented and take pride in shipping interfaces that users want to work in.

Tech Stack

• Node.js,Vue.js, TypeScript
• Cesium, 3D Tiles
• OpenLayers
• Cypress
• REST APIs
• Docker, Kubernetes

Why join us

• Own the surface where 3D reaches the customer: every 3D result the pipeline produces ends in your viewer.
• Real constraints: analysts on ordinary hardware,on-premiseand edge deployments, and a result thathas tobeusablethe moment the job finishes.
• Diverse deployment challenges: ship a single application that runs in the cloud, on classified networks, or on a laptop in the field.
• Strong technical culture: work alongside 3D graphics engineers, ML engineers and GIS specialists solving novel problems.
• Competitive compensation with flexible working arrangements and personalized benefits including learning opportunities, mental wellbeing programs, and healthcare.

The minimum salary is56.000,–€ gross per year. The effective salary depends on qualification and experience and may be significantly higher!
