Software Engineer, Redoubt Interface
Design and build the screens operators use to command Vaubren’s systems.
About Vaubren
Vaubren is a European defence technology company developing aircraft, command software, sensing and electronic warfare as one integrated system, with a person in command of every use of force. Our engineering team is based in Bulgaria, inside the European Union and NATO.
The role
You will build Redoubt’s operator interface: the live map, tracks, tasks and the controls an operator uses to authorise every action. The hard problem is showing a lot of fast-changing information clearly to someone under pressure, on a laptop in the field, with no room for confusion.
Why this role
- Your screens are where a person stays in command of every use of force
- Work directly with operators and see your work used in field trials
- Shape Redoubt’s interface from its first version
What you will do
- Build Redoubt’s operator interface with web technologies, from map views to task and alert panels
- Show live tracks, sensor coverage and aircraft status smoothly on modest field hardware
- Design each authorisation step with operators so that it is clear and deliberate
- Work with the backend team on real-time data and with the test team on field feedback
- Write tests and keep the interface fast, accessible and reliable
Qualifications
- Typically 4+ years building complex web applications with TypeScript and a modern framework
- Experience with maps or real-time data visualisation
- A strong eye for clear interface design
- Comfort working directly with users to refine a design
- A degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience
If you meet most of these points but not all, we still encourage you to apply.
Nice to have
- Mission planning, control-room or geospatial software
- WebGL map libraries such as MapLibre or Cesium
- Applications that keep working offline
- Interface design for safety-critical use
