Our work is research-driven and engineering-focused, enabling us to deliver bespoke development and custom solutions at the intersection of cybersecurity and emerging technologies. By addressing complex product challenges, we help our partners evolve their platforms across domains such as secure communications, IoT, AI-powered systems, and enterprise applications.\nLearn more at census-labs.com. **VALID PASSPORT REQUIRED FOR SECURITY CLEARANCE PURPOSES**\nWe are seeking a Front End Software Engineer to design and build production-grade user interfaces for next-generation cybersecurity and data-intensive platforms.\nThis is a 6-month fixed-term position. You will work as part of a team alongside the client, without being required to work on-site at the client’s premises.\nThe role is centered on translating design specifications into responsive, high-quality web applications, with emphasis on data-dense views, interactive dashboards, and workflows that make large and complex datasets understandable and actionable.\nAs part of cross-functional teams, you will work closely with product designers, backend engineers, and data engineers to deliver custom UIs from input designs (mockups and prototypes). Our projects operate across the spectrum of frontend engineering, applied AI, and cybersecurity, where the interface is often the primary way users explore findings, prioritize risk, and drive decisions. As part of this role, you will help shape products that are usable, performant, and visually polished.\nKey Responsibilities\nUI Development & Design Implementation\nTranslate design specifications and prototypes (e.g., Figma) into pixel-accurate, responsive web interfaces.\n\nBuild reusable, well-structured components and maintain a consistent design system across the product.\n\nImplement data-dense views such as inventories, detail pages, and interactive dashboards.\n\nEnsure cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness, and accessibility across the application.\n\nData Visualization & Interaction\nBuild interactive tables, filters, and visualizations for large structured and semi-structured datasets.\n\nIntegrate charting and visualization libraries (such as ECharts, D3, or Recharts) for analytics and reporting views.\n\nApply techniques such as virtualization, pagination, and lazy loading to keep data-heavy views performant.\n\nContribute to conversational and natural language query interfaces where AI-assisted features intersect with the UI.\n\nAPI Integration & State Management\nIntegrate frontend applications with REST/GraphQL backends and streaming endpoints.\n\nDesign predictable state management and data fetching, caching, and synchronization strategies.\n\nHandle loading, error, and empty states gracefully for a robust user experience.\n\nQuality & Performance\nOptimize rendering performance, bundle size, and load times across the application.\n\nWrite unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for frontend components and user flows.\n\nParticipate in code reviews and uphold maintainable, well-documented frontend code.\n\nCollaboration & Delivery\nWork closely with designers to refine UX and close the loop between design and implementation.\n\nTranslate requirements from product and engineering teams into robust frontend solutions.\n\nContribute to PoCs, demos, and integration pilots, and support knowledge transfer with internal and partner teams.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBSc/MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).\n\n4+ years of experience in frontend or full-stack development, with a strong focus on the frontend.\n\nStrong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript, and modern HTML5 and CSS3.\n\nHands-on experience with a modern component-based framework (React preferred; Vue or Angular also considered).\n\nProven experience translating design mockups and prototypes into production-quality interfaces.\n\nSolid understanding of responsive design, cross-browser behavior, and web accessibility.\n\nExperience integrating with REST or GraphQL APIs and managing application state.\n\nFamiliarity with modern frontend build tooling and version control with Git.\n\nStrong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.\n\nProficient in English and excellent communication skills.\n\nPreferred / Nice-to-Have Skills\nExperience building data-dense interfaces, operational dashboards, or analytics tooling.\n\nFamiliarity with data visualization libraries (D3, ECharts, Recharts) and large-table performance techniques.\n\nExperience with design systems and component libraries (e.g., Storybook).\n\nExposure to BI / analytics platforms such as Superset, including embedding or extending their UIs.\n\nExperience building chat or conversational UIs for AI / LLM-powered features.\n\nKnowledge of security concepts or experience working on cybersecurity products.\n\nFamiliarity with containerization (Kubernetes) and CI/CD workflows.\n\nExperience with testing frameworks (Jest, Playwright, Cypress) and frontend observability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5103,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Penetration Testing","Information Security","Vulnerability Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T09:10:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":34,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.619,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/census-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/census-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T02:33:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3488,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":55596},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=55596"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcensus-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcensus-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcensus-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/census-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcensus-front-end-software-engineer-6-month-fixed-term"}]}
