The C2 application is the primary interface for operators, combining mission planning, real-time control, telemetry, and video into a unified system.
We are looking for a Full Stack Team Lead to build and lead the C2 development team from the ground up. This role combines technical leadership and people management, with strong ownership over architecture, execution, and alignment with the broader system (core backend and edge platforms).
ResponsibilitiesResponsibilities:
Team Leadership
- Build, lead, and mentor a team of frontend/full-stack developers
- Define team standards, development processes, and best practices
- Drive execution, delivery planning, and technical quality
- Support hiring, onboarding, and growth of team members
Technical Leadership
- Lead the design of the architecture (including microfrontend approach)
- Guide implementation of a real-time, high-performance C2 application
- Ensure scalability, maintainability, and modular system design
- Make key technology decisions and define development guidelines
- Review designs and code, ensuring alignment with architecture and standards
Cross-Team Collaboration
- Work closely with Core (backend) and Edge (on-device) teams
- Translate product roadmap and system constraints into technical direction
- Ensure alignment between frontend, backend, and edge capabilities
- Drive integration strategies across:
- Real-time communication layers
- Video streaming pipelines
- Telemetry and control systems
System Ownership
- Own the end-to-end frontend domain within a distributed system
- Balance product requirements with technical constraints (real-time, air-gapped, edge)
- Identify risks, trade-offs, and long-term architectural considerations
- Lead debugging and resolution of complex cross-system issues
What Makes This Role Unique
- Opportunity to build and lead a team from scratch
- Direct impact on the core operator interface of a real-world system
- Work across frontend, backend, and edge domains
- Influence architecture, technology, and engineering culture
- Solve challenges in:
- Real-time UX
- Multi-platform orchestration
- Video + telemetry integration
- Cloud and air-gapped deployments
- 6+ years of experience in frontend or full-stack development
- 2+ years of experience in technical leadership or team leadership roles
- Strong expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
- Proven experience designing architecture for complex systems
Technical Expertise
- Experience building real-time, data-intensive applications
- Strong understanding of architecture and modular design
- Experience integrating with:
- Backend systems (Java / Python)
- Real-time communication (WebSockets, pub/sub)
- Distributed systems / messaging (Kafka, Redis, etc.) - Advantage
- Understanding of performance, scalability, and state management
System & Domain Understanding
- Experience working in distributed systems environments
- Ability to understand and work across backend and edge systems
- Experience in systems involving video streaming, telemetry, or real-time control – strong advantage
- Familiarity with air-gapped or constrained environments – advantage
Nice to Have
- Experience in C2 systems, drones, robotics, or defense-related domains
- Background in map-based or geospatial applications
- Experience with video technologies (WebRTC, RTSP, GStreamer)
- Familiarity with DevOps and CI/CD practices
