About the Role

At Rune Technologies, we are building the logistics technology backbone that the U.S. and allied militaries need to dominate in large-scale combat operations. As a Frontend Software Engineer at Rune, you’ll work on TyrOS, our flagship web platform for modernizing tactical and operational sustainment. You’ll take ownership over critical parts of the UI stack, crafting intuitive, powerful, and reliable software for users operating in the most demanding environments on earth.

You’ll be part of a small, high-impact team working at the intersection of military domain knowledge, modern web technologies, and advanced algorithmic and machine learning technologies. You’ll collaborate closely with product designers, backend engineers, and domain experts to build user-facing systems that bring clarity, control, and speed to military and commercial logistics operations.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and own core frontend systems, reusable libraries, and components in TyrOS — our platform for tactical and operational military logistics.

• Work closely with product designers to craft modern, intuitive, and accessible UIs that serve users at the tactical edge and command centers.

• Develop and deploy new products from concept to fielded application, supporting both defense and commercial customers.

• Collaborate across the stack, working with backend teams to define APIs, optimize performance, and integrate with real-world data sources.

• Create rich, data-intensive visual interfaces, including data visualizations, dashboards, maps, timelines, and planning tools.

• Develop interactive 3D views and visualizations that enhance situational awareness.

• Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, contributing to a culture of quality, ownership, and mission focus.

• Engage directly with users and stakeholders to understand workflows, gather feedback, and continuously improve the experience.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in frontend software engineering, with a strong command of React, TypeScript, and modern web development practices.

• Experience building and deploying production-grade web applications with real-world users.

• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and scalable frontend architecture.

• Ability to work across disciplines — collaborating with designers, backend engineers, and product teams.

• Strong sense of ownership and a bias for shipping — you take initiative, communicate clearly, and hold a high bar for quality.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience working on data-rich or data-visualization heavy UIs, including time series, logistics planning, or operational dashboards.

• Familiarity with mapping libraries (e.g., Mapbox, Leaflet, Cesium) or geospatial interfaces.

• Experience with 3D rendering frameworks such as Three.js, including building interactive 3D visualizations within web applications.

• Exposure to Protocol Buffers and building interfaces on top of structured API contracts.

• Experience in defense, aerospace, logistics, or other high-stakes, operational domains.

• Comfort working in environments with evolving requirements, incomplete data, and a strong mission orientation.
