Front-End Engineer - Geospatial & Real-Time UIs

Comand AI; Greater London; On-site; GBP 70,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Comand AI in London or Paris is seeking a front-end specialist to own Prevail, our operational planning platform, delivering fast and dependable experiences.

You will craft interfaces for geospatial workflows, work with design early, and raise the front-end quality bar across a diverse engineering team, balancing speed with durability.

The role emphasizes pragmatism, low ego, and the ability to handle ambiguity while maintaining high-quality releases.

Qualifications

• 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 our defence contracts)

Responsibilities

• Own front-end delivery on Prevail, 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 make the product more coherent as the team and surface area grow
