About The Position

As a Design Technologist at Air Space Intelligence, you'll live at the intersection of design and engineering—translating high-fidelity design intent into production-quality interfaces that empower airlines, defense organizations, and government partners in complex airspace systems. You'll build the components, tooling, and prototypes that make mission-critical experiences feel seamless and perform under pressure.

Requirements

• Strong front-end engineering skills (e.g., TypeScript, React, modern CSS) paired with a designer's eye, demonstrated by a portfolio of shipped interfaces or interactive prototypes.
• Experience building and maintaining design systems in code—design tokens, component libraries, and the tooling that keeps them consistent with their Figma (or similar) source of truth.
• Fluency translating high-fidelity designs into pixel-accurate, performant implementations, especially for dense, operationally critical environments.
• A strong sense of visual hierarchy, typography, and layout, with the engineering chops to realize it faithfully in the browser.
• Comfort with data-rich web applications and rendering performance—canvas, SVG, WebGL, or mapping/geospatial libraries a plus.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including designers, engineers, product managers, and end users, to align implementation with real-world operational needs.
• Comfort working in iterative processes, incorporating feedback, research, and performance data to refine and evolve your work.
• An eye for consistency and scalability, with a drive to maintain a unified design language—in code—across multiple products and use cases.
• Understanding of responsive design and accessibility best practices, ensuring interfaces work across devices and for all users.
• A passion for mission-driven work, especially in domains that require precision, clarity, and real-world impact.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship production-ready UI components from design specs, prioritizing performance, reusability, and scalability.
• Develop and maintain our design system as living code—keeping design tokens, component libraries, and documentation in sync across web-based applications.
• Prototype novel interactions and data visualizations to pressure-test new product proposals in real, interactive environments.
• Bridge design and engineering by implementing high-fidelity features that preserve design intent in high-density data environments.
• Build tooling and automation that accelerate the design-to-development workflow.
• Iterate on implementations based on user feedback, operational requirements, and performance insights.
