Software Engineer

Industry: Defense Tech

What is this project about?

An AI-powered analytics platform built for the defense domain. It ingests and analyzes data from multiple sources, automatically surfacing key findings and generating actionable insights and recommendations. By automating heavy manual analysis, the platform helps organizations make faster, better-informed decisions, reduce manual effort, and improve overall operational performance.

Responsibilities:

● Develop and maintain full-stack features using React and Python;

● Build complex interactive user interfaces for data exploration, analytics, and operational workflows;

● Build conversational agent interfaces supporting free-form requests, clarification questions, plan review and approval, streaming execution progress, cancellation, and result presentation;

● Develop data exploration interfaces for keyword, structured, spatial, temporal, and semantic search;

● Build advanced data grids with multi-select filters, filter chips, sorting, pagination, virtualization, object preview, and detail panels;

● Integrate RESTful HTTP APIs and SSE streams for search, ingestion, agent execution, report generation, audit, and data-management workflows;

● Design and implement backend APIs and business logic using Python and FastAPI;

● Implement backend services for data ingestion, processing, validation, transformation, and enrichment;

● Build integrations between frontend, backend, AI/ML services, and external systems;

● Implement asynchronous processing, background jobs, task execution, and long-running workflows;

● Develop resilient SSE-based updates for long-running operations, including reconnect, state reconciliation, error handling, and cancellation states;

● Implement advanced geospatial visualization features using MapLibre GL JS;

● Develop interactive map components, layers, markers, clustering, drawing tools, and geospatial controls;
