YOUR MISSION
Creative engineers like you are essential to this mission, to inspire, build, and ship. This is some of the most meaningful work you’ll ever do, in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about.
We are seeking a senior 3D developer with expertise in real-time rendering to join a growing creative team at an early and pivotal moment for the company. You'll own the visual layer of how we render the common operating picture and 3D information (orbits, spacecraft, sensor volumes, live telemetry) in the browser. This is primarily a React and three.js role, but we will also consider transferable skills from other real-time 3D environments such as Unity, Unreal, and Babylon.js.
You’ll work directly with our Creative Director who’s building this team for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Nobody has defined what mission-critical space software should look and feel like. There's no decade-old design system handed down from a legacy defense contractor to follow. We're dedicated to building incredible real-time 3D content, directly in the browser, driven by live mission data, at a fidelity operators trust. This is a significant problem, and we need your help.
You’ll have real ownership. From prototypes that shape our product strategy to the views operators depend on in no-fail environments, your work will be visible at the highest levels of government and military. If you’ve ever wanted your craft to carry real weight, then this is that job.
- Build and own our React and three.js rendering layer—the 3D viewport and the control measures that

ype to production, including the polish, the performance, and the hard problems in between.
- Turn your hand to what's needed. Real-time 3D is your focus, but you'll also take on data visualization and standard front-end work.
COMPENSATION
- Base Salary: $135,000-$195,000
- Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
- Work Location —Successful candidates will be located near one of our offices in Long Beach, CA, Denver, CO, or Washington DC. However, for the right candidate we will consider remote.
- Work environment —the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
