Frontend engineer for command and control software

STARK; Berlin; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

STARK ищет frontend-инженера для Minerva Frontline — головной модуль C2-систем, связывающий операторов с автономными системами в реальном времени. Вы будете разрабатывать высокопроизводительные UI без зависимости от фреймворков, учитывая низкую пропускную способность и ограниченные вычисления на полевых устройствах.

Основной упор на архитектуру, валидацию данных и улучшение взаимодействия оператора с системами, включая обработку потоков и оптимизацию задержек.

Qualifications

• Глубокий практический опыт работы с Vanilla TypeScript/JavaScript и нативной веб-платформой (DOM API, Event Loop, управление памятью).
• Умение проектировать фронтенд в условиях ограниченных ресурсов и задержек.
• Опыт интеграции режимов реального времени (WebSockets, WebRTC) и черновиков API для фронтенда.

Responsibilities

• Разрабатываете высокопроизводительные фронтенд-решения с минимальной нагрузкой на батарею полевых устройств.
• Строите детерминированные интерфейсы и устойчивые к ошибкам системы.
• Работаете над архитектурой для ИИ/инструментов и решаете задачи интеграции в реальном времени.

Job description

Описание

Minerva Frontline is STARK's command and control software — the brain that connects operators to autonomous systems across multiple domains in real time. The Frontline team is based across Europe & the UK, working with our hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities for use in active operational environments.

Задачи

You engineer highly optimized frontend solutions that handle high-frequency telemetry and asynchronous data streams while strictly minimizing computational load to preserve critical battery life on field devices. You implement interfaces that are deterministic, error-tolerant, and relentlessly focused on providing clarity out of chaos. Instead of just accepting what the backend provides, you proactively challenge APIs and data structures if they threaten frontend performance or the operator's experience. You set strict architectural guardrails, rigorously validate outputs, and proactively solve the novel integration and quality challenges that arise in this new paradigm. Build high-performance, framework-less user interfaces (Vanilla TS, Web Components) that function flawlessly under extreme real-world conditions (low bandwidth, air-gapped networks). You raise the level of the entire team by sharing knowledge, providing valuable impulses for our system design, and facilitating open, fact-based discussions with zero ego.

Требования

Deep, practical expertise in Vanilla TypeScript/JavaScript and the native web platform (DOM API, Event Loop, Memory Management). You view the frontend not as a collection of pages, but as a complex, stateful system interacting with the physical world. The ability to engineer solutions that anticipate and mitigate hardware realities—specifically managing latency, handling data bursts, and optimizing for constrained compute and battery life. Practical experience integrating agent-based coding tools into your workflow. You understand how to structure architecture for AI, rigorously validate its output, and solve the novel integration challenges these tools create. You balance the drive for rapid delivery with a critical mindset. You proactively question requirements and always evaluate technical decisions from the operator's perspective on the ground. You have the maturity to moderate technical decisions, compromise, and always put the mission above your own ego. Ability to travel as needed. Due to the nature of our work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position. Будет плюсом: Practical experience building comprehensive design systems (ideally using native Web Components); Experience with real-time data streaming architectures (WebSockets, WebRTC) or handling high-frequency telemetry; Experience in geographic mapping, GIS, or complex Canvas/WebGL rendering in the browser; Experience working with unmanned systems, ideally in command-and-control, mission management, or operator-facing software

Условия

The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty. You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms. We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing.
