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.

- Work closely with UI/UX designers, transform wireframes, mockups, and prototypes into designs to ensure seamless user experience aligns to HCI principles.
- 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.
