Senior Front-End Developer (React and WebGL) for NATO

Would you like to join the leading international intergovernmental organization

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to contribute on the design and implementation of advanced interactive geospatial visualizations and vector time-series (trajectory) experiences in the maritime web platform.

You will own complex UI components built with React and WebGL delivering performant reliable and accessible interfaces that help users explore spatial-temporal maritime data at scale. The team works in a design-driven methodology: you will collaborate closely with product and UX to prototype iterate and validate user experiences before and during implementation.

You will partner with product design backend/data DevSecOps and QA to ship features end-to-end from technical discovery and solution design through implementation testing and production operation. You will champion frontend engineering quality performance and secure-by-default practices within an Azure-hosted environment.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

React TypeScript and WebGL

• Strong TypeScript and modern React

• Architect build and optimize React-based modules and WebGL-powered visualization layers for geospatial and trajectory data.

• 5 years building production React apps (hooks context performance optimization code-splitting).

• 3 years hands-on with WebGL or related frameworks ( regl Mapbox GL Cesium) including shader-based rendering.

Geospatial and vector time series

• Proven experience visualizing geospatial data and trajectories: projections tiling feature styling temporal playback and interaction patterns (filtering brushing path editing).

• Familiarity with GeoJSON vector tiles and projected/geographical coordinate systems.

Web app fundamentals

• Ensure cross-browser compatibility accessibility (WCAG) responsive layouts and robust error handling/session management.

• Excellent communication skills in English and effective cross-functional collaboration.

Design-driven delivery

• Work within a design-driven methodology: contribute to design sprints build interactive prototypes participate in usability reviews and iterate from user feedback.

• Translate product/UX requirements (e.g. from Figma) into intuitive interactions and informative visualizations.

Engineering quality and security

• Embed quality into delivery with unit/integration tests visual regression and performance budgets; collaborate with QA on E2E flows.

• Understanding of client-side security and OWASP risks (XSS CSRF injection) and secure implementation patterns.

Performance and reliability

• Deep understanding of rendering performance: GPU/CPU profiling minimizing draw calls buffer/attribute management culling LOD and data streaming.

• Monitor and improve frontend performance (FPS memory bundle size TTI) and instrument user journeys with observability tooling.

Integration and delivery

• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs (and/or GraphQL) auth flows and streaming endpoints.

• Familiarity with CI/CD and quality gates in Azure DevOps (or equivalent) including automated test execution and release pipelines.

Communication and collaboration

• Excellent English proficiency (C1 or higher) for clear written and verbal communication documentation and cross-functional collaboration.
