This position requires an active Secret DoD clearance. This position can be remote with preference given to a San Diego, CA candidate.
Responsibilities
What You'll Do
Implement validated HCD designs, translating wireframes, annotated prototypes, and design specifications into production-quality front-end code with high fidelity to the research-validated user experience
Own the component layer, building a reusable, maintainable UI component library that can carry forward across successive mission application builds
Collaborate directly with the HCD researcher throughout build, flagging when technical constraints affect design intent, proposing alternatives, and keeping implementation honest to what usability testing validated
Integrate front-end components with RESTful APIs provided by the full-stack developer, ensuring data flows surface correctly in the user interface
Apply accessibility standards and responsive design principles appropriate for classified government environments
Ship incrementally and stay close to users, getting things in front of people rather than perfecting in isolation
Qualifications
What We're Looking For
Active DoD Secret clearance
3+ years of front-end development experience with demonstrated proficiency in React, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
Genuine fluency in HCD and UX principles, not just familiarity with the terms, but demonstrated experience working within a human-centered design process and building to validated design outcomes
Experience working directly alongside UX researchers or HCD practitioners, translating research-validated wireframes and prototypes into front-end code with high fidelity
Experience building and maintaining reusable component libraries or design systems
Experience integrating front-end applications with RESTful APIs
Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility standards (WCAG), and performance optimization
Ability to move fast and iterate without heavy specs or detailed tickets
What Will Set You Apart
Experience developing software in DoD or IC environments governed by federal security and compliance requirements, secure coding practices, access control, auditability, and deployment constraints in accredited systems
Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud and DoD-accredited DevSecOps platforms, understanding of how classified environment constraints affect front-end tooling and deployment
Experience building on platforms up to IL6, or familiarity with DoD Impact Level requirements and how they shape front-end architecture decisions
Experience contributing to or leading a component library or design system that served multiple applications or product lines
A portfolio of work that demonstrates both technical execution and design sensibility; we want to see that you can tell the difference between a good and a bad user experience, and that your code reflects it
SOF operator or SOF-support background with understanding of SOF core activities and mission sets
