- Experience with technical visualization tools (WebGL, D3.js, Apache ECharts) and time-series data
- Knowledge of WebAssembly and browser-based computation
- Experience building tools for technical users (dashboards, data-editing environments)
Responsibilities
- Build high-performance data visualization interfaces and reusable component libraries for complex telemetry data
- Create intuitive user interfaces for data exploration while optimizing for large real-time datasets
- Collaborate with backend teams on API design and implementation for seamless user experiences
- Write clean, maintainable code and participate in technical design discussions
Other
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual such as an asylee or refugee in compliance with ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) / EAR (Export Administration Regulations) regulations.
- Collaborate in person twice a week—on Mondays and Thursdays—and come together for a full week every two months.
