You will design the component APIs other engineers reach for first, decide how the platform handles auth, layout, theming, data fetching, and real-time updates, and keep all of it fast, accessible, and secure enough for defense networks. You will work alongside backend, AI, and DevSecOps engineers, and with the project teams shipping to defense and government customers. This is a chance to shape how a platform looks and behaves before it hardens, and to see your work in front of analysts and decision-makers within weeks.\nOur frontend is React and TypeScript, built with modern tooling and shipped as versioned packages that project teams build on. We use Material UI alongside an in-house design system, and most of what we build is data-heavy: large tables, interactive charts, dashboards, and streaming, chat-driven experiences. Everything ships in containers to secure government environments.\nResponsibilities\nOwn and evolve the shared frontend packages (app shell, component library, hooks, typed API client) that project teams build on, treating their public APIs as contracts with versioning and clear migration paths.\n\nDesign and build reusable, config-driven components for data-heavy government applications: server-paginated tables, theme-aware charts, dashboards, forms, and chat and generative-UI surfaces driven by streaming events.\n\nSet the frontend testing strategy and build it out: component tests, integration tests against the real API, and end-to-end coverage for the flows that matter.\n\nOwn frontend performance and bundle discipline: budgets, code splitting, render profiling, and keeping heavy dependencies (charting, grids, web components) from bloating every project app.\n\nDrive design-system direction: decide where Material UI ends and our in-house component library begins, and make that decision consistent across apps.\n\nTreat accessibility (Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA) and classification-aware UI (banners, markings) as first-class requirements.\n\nPartner with backend engineers on API shape, auth and session behavior, real-time event contracts, and the security posture of the browser surface (CSP, cookies, dependency hygiene).\n\nSupport project teams adopting the platform: review their frontend code, unblock them, and pull recurring patterns back into the shared packages.\n\nHelp plan and execute the migration of our existing product frontend onto the new platform without pausing feature delivery.\n\nMentor engineers and raise the standard for frontend work across the company.\n\nSkills & Qualifications\nS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.\n\n6+ years building production web applications with deep expertise in React and TypeScript.\n\nExperience owning a shared component library, design system, or frontend platform consumed by other teams, including package publishing, versioning, and breaking-change management.\n\nStrong grasp of modern React: hooks, Suspense, concurrent rendering, server-state libraries (TanStack Query or similar), and judgment about when client state (Zustand, Redux, or similar) is warranted.\n\nFluency with the build and tooling layer: Vite, pnpm workspaces, ESLint, TypeScript project configuration, and CI for frontend packages.\n\nExperience shipping frontend tests that catch real regressions (Vitest or Jest with Testing Library, Playwright or Cypress).\n\nExperience building data-dense UIs: large tables with server-side pagination, interactive charts, dashboards.\n\nWorking knowledge of browser security: session cookies, CSP, XSS, CSRF, and dependency supply chain.\n\nClear written communication. Much of this role is design docs, code review, and documentation that other teams rely on.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with Web Components / Lit and integrating them into React.\n\nExperience with Material UI theming at scale, or building a theming system shared across multiple applications.\n\nExperience with streaming UIs (Server-Sent Events, WebSockets) or generative / LLM-driven interfaces.\n\nExperience with data visualization libraries (Plotly, D3, ECharts) and graph or flow editors (React Flow).\n\nExperience shipping software into DoD or other regulated environments (Platform One, GovCloud, air-gapped networks), and familiarity with Section 508 audits.\n\nKnowledge of NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, and CMMC 2.0 as they affect frontend and browser security.\n\nExperience migrating a legacy frontend onto a new platform while the product keeps shipping.\n\nStartup experience on a growing team, and a desire to mentor more junior engineers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4870,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Data & Analytics","Military"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T08:32:57Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T00:57:52Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/virtualitics-senior-frontend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/virtualitics-senior-frontend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T00:57:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":863,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4137,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
