Expedition Technology (EXP) is seeking a Front-End Software Engineer to join our Training Data Storefront (TDS) team. The TDS mission is to develop, deploy, and maintain a centralized repository of AI/ML annotations and models that supports the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC). TDS plays a critical role in addressing today’s defense and intelligence challenges. 

We are looking for a Front-End Software Engineer who is passionate about building high-quality, user-focused applications. The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative environment, writes clean and maintainable code, and is dedicated to delivering exceptional user experiences. In this role, you will develop user-facing web application components, translating UI/UX designs—such as wireframes, site maps, process flows, and mockups—into responsive interfaces. You will also integrate front-end components with backend systems to enable seamless data flow, and contribute to product quality through unit testing, automated testing, and end-to-end validation.

  • Integrate front-end components with back-end services using RESTful APIs or GraphQL to fetch, display and update data in real-time applications. 
  • Implement front-end best practices for performance optimization (e.g. lazy loading, code splitting); ensure secure communications between front-end and back-end services. 
  • Use GIT for version control; manage codebases and branching strategies. 
  • Use front-end testing frameworks/tools to create unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure code stability and high-quality output. 

What you'll need to succeed: 

  • Education: BA/BS in Information Technology or related field or the equivalent combination of education, technical certifications or training, or work experience 
  • Experience: 8+ years of related experience 
  • Security Clearance Level: TS/SCI

  • Use of front-end markup languages, with experience implementing responsive designs using Bootstrap framework. 
  • Location: Herndon, VA
