Role Overview
The US military has spent the last 22 years fighting the global war on terror.
We have the processes and the technology to target terrorists and mitigate collateral damage.
However, we are unprepared for conflict with a peer nation, and that reality threatens global stability.
At Smack Technologies, our mission is to build software that enables the US and its partners to re-establish deterrence.
Our focus is the decision making process for prioritizing targets and for allocating resources against them.
The current targeting cycle takes 96 hours.
Today, this analysis is attempted on whiteboards, PowerPoint, and Excel.
In 96 hours, 30,000 troops could land on Taiwan.
It needs to take minutes.
It also needs to weigh the opportunity costs and risk profiles of thousands of response options, in near-real time.
We can’t afford to waste shots.
As a Frontend Engineer at Smack, you will build the UI for this complex problem.
Our product leverages AI and mathematical optimization.
For it to work, the UI must be exceptional at two things.
First, it needs to make planning collaborative and simple.
Maybe even fun.
Basically, be the opposite of planning in PowerPoint.
Second, it needs to enable human-in-the-loop autonomy.
The UI is the portal for staff and commanders to interact with Smack’s system at high-value human touchpoints and to audit the system's logic.
You will build the visualization tools and dashboards to make this possible.
As part of our founding team, you’ll have strong ownership over major parts of our system.
You’ll help design the systems, and choose the technologies.
