Peraton Labs is seeking a Senior Front‑End Engineer to design and build the user‑facing experience for an Agentic AI platform that enables secure, rapid development of AI‑powered applications through natural language interfaces, agent builders, dashboards, and mission‑level workflow orchestration.

This role will focus on creating intuitive, high‑quality front‑end experiences, making advanced platform capabilities accessible to developers, operators, and mission users. The ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in modern front‑end engineering—especially React—and experience building data‑rich, workflow‑centric user experiences.

Partnering closely with Labs research scientists, engineers, and leadership, the engineer will translate complex agentic and orchestration capabilities into usable, compelling product experiences.

• Design and build modern front‑end applications for an Agentic AI platform using React and related technologies.
• Develop user interfaces for dashboards, workflow orchestration, agent builders, prompt configuration, execution monitoring, and mission‑level application interaction.
• Create intuitive experiences that allow users to interact with AI‑powered systems through natural language, structured controls, and visual workflow components.
• Build reusable UI components, front‑end frameworks, and design patterns that support rapid product development and consistency across applications.
• Partner with backend, platform, and AI engineering teams to integrate APIs, real‑time data, orchestration services, and agent execution outputs into responsive interfaces.
• Develop front‑end solutions for data visualization, status tracking, user feedback loops, approval workflows, and operational analytics.
• Improve usability, performance, accessibility, responsiveness, and maintainability across product interfaces.
• Help define front‑end architecture, state‑management approaches, testing strategy, and engineering standards.
• Contribute to product design discussions with strong input on interaction models, workflow usability, and user‑centered design for complex technical systems.
• Support secure UI patterns for authentication, authorization, experience tailoring, and controlled access to platform capabilities.
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to a high‑quality engineering culture.

• Minimum of 8+ years experience or a Bachelor's degree, 6+ years with a Master’s degree, or 3+ years with a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 3+ years professional experience in front‑end engineering, UI engineering, or full‑stack software engineering with a strong front‑end focus.
• Strong hands‑on experience with React, modern JavaScript/Type Script, and component‑based front‑end architecture.
• Experience building data‑rich dashboards, operational UIs, or workflow‑centric product interfaces.
• Strong knowledge of front‑end application patterns including state management, API integration, performance optimization, and reusable component design.
• Experience with REST APIs, Graph
  
  QL, Web Sockets, or other service integration approaches.
• Experience with front‑end testing and tools for quality, maintainability, and regression prevention.
• Strong understanding of responsive design, usability, and accessibility best practices.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• US Citizenship is a requirement for this position.

• Experience building interfaces for AI‑enabled products, copilots, workflow systems, or orchestration platforms.
• Familiarity with Agentic AI concepts such as agent workflows, tool invocation, execution monitoring, and human‑in‑the‑loop tasking.
• Experience with dashboard libraries, visual workflow builders, or graph‑based UI patterns.
• Experience with enterprise authentication, RBAC‑aware UI patterns, and secure…
