The Frontline team is based across Europe &amp; the UK, working with our hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities for use in active operational environments.</em></p> <p><em>We move fast, ship real software, and operate under constraints most engineers never encounter — low-bandwidth networks, air-gapped devices, high-stakes decision loops. We are a tight-knit team of zero-ego, mission-driven developers. There is no room for abstraction for its own sake. Everything we build ends up in the hands of real operators in the field.</em></p> <p><em>If you want to build software which will make a tangible difference to the security of Europe, we want to hear from you</em>.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Your Mission</strong></span></p> <p><em>STARK is looking for a <strong>Senior Software Engineer (Frontend Systems)</strong> to expand our mission management software. We are not looking for someone who just works on Jira tickets. We need a frontend systems thinker who balances rapid delivery with the deep system understanding required to answer: 'What is the right solution for the overall system, and what is the frontend's role in it?'</em></p> <p><em>You will build and evolve the frontend as a robust, high-performance architecture. You have the high-agency to navigate the physical constraints of our hardware, challenge the backend with hard questions, and translate complex data streams into a clear, calm UI for operators under extreme cognitive load. While you actively provide impulses for our overall system evolution, your core focus remains hands-on engineering.</em></p> <p><em>We consistently rely on agentic AI workflows. While these agents accelerate development, they also introduce entirely new classes of technical challenges. Your role is to set strict architectural guardrails, rigorously orchestrate these agents, and co
