UI/UX Developer

Overview

BigBear.ai is seeking an UI/UX Developer to support ConductorOS UI/UX development. This position will be remote. This role is designed for a UI/UX engineer who wants to tackle the complex challenges of multi-domain command and control, edge computing, and real-time AI-enabled mission operations. The responsibilities include designing and building intuitive, mission-focused user experiences for ConductorOS while working closely with product, engineering, and delivery teams to translate operational workflows into clear, usable, and scalable interfaces. This position will support the continued evolution of the ConductorOS operator experience, including mission workflow orchestration, model and node management, system health visibility, deployment status, and decision-support views.

What you will do

• User Experience and Workflow Design: Design intuitive user experiences for ConductorOS operators, engineers, and mission users, with a focus on simplifying complex workflows across models, nodes, sensors, outputs, deployments, and system health.
• UI Development: Develop and maintain responsive, modern front-end components and application views that support ConductorOS mission workflows, operational dashboards, configuration screens, and administrative tools.
• Mission-Centered Design: Work with product owners, delivery teams, engineers, and end users to understand operational needs and translate those needs into practical interface designs, wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready features.
• Data Visualization: Create effective visualizations for system status, deployment state, node health, alerts, mission readiness, telemetry, and other operational data that help users quickly understand what is working, degraded, blocked, or incomplete.
• Design System Development: Contribute to reusable UI patterns, design standards, component libraries, and interaction models that improve consistency across the ConductorOS platform.
• Human Factors and Usability: Improve the usability, clarity, and accessibility of ConductorOS by reducing operator burden, streamlining workflows, and ensuring critical information is presented clearly in time-sensitive mission environments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with back-end engineers, systems engineers, product managers, and delivery teams to ensure the user interface accurately reflects platform capabilities, API behavior, operational constraints, and field-derived requirements.
• Field-Driven Iteration: Support rapid iteration based on user feedback, lessons learned from demonstrations and exercises, and operational input from customer-facing teams.

What you need to have

• A Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Design, Information Technology, or a related field with applicable experience is required. Applicable work experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Must have at least 5 years of UI/UX Development experience
• Strong experience designing and developing modern web-based user interfaces.
• Experience with front-end technologies and frameworks such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, HTML5, CSS3, or similar technologies.
• Experience creating wireframes, prototypes, user flows, interface specifications, and reusable design components using tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or similar platforms.
• Ability to translate complex technical workflows into clear and intuitive user experiences.
• Experience working with RESTful APIs, web services, and data-driven application interfaces.
• Familiarity with dashboard design, data visualization, system monitoring views, alerting interfaces, or operational status displays.
• Strong understanding of UX principles, usability, accessibility, responsive design, and human-centered design practices.
• Ability to work closely with engineers, product owners, delivery teams, and end users in an agile development environment.
• Quick problem-solving skills with exceptional aptitude, reasoning, and attention to detail.
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git.

What we'd like you to have

• Experience designing interfaces for operational, mission, command and control, DevOps, platform engineering, or observability use cases.
• Experience with role-based workflows, deployment workflows, fleet or node management, alerts, audit history, or health and readiness dashboards.
• Experience working with distributed systems, edge systems, containerized applications, or AI/ML-enabled software platforms.
• Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where user feedback, field results, and technical constraints drive rapid iteration.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a government clearance.
• Experience supporting defense, intelligence, command and control, autonomy, AI/ML, edge computing, or mission software environments is preferred.
