AI Software Engineer, Frontend-Focus

Company Description

Dunedain is building the world's most capable AI platform for Warfighters. Our mission is to unlock faster, smarter decision-making and actions at every echelon of the military by equipping service members with powerful, intuitive AI agents they can trust and control. From front-line units to the motor pool to the back office, our systems are already in the hands of operational units across the DoW, transforming how data is accessed, interpreted, and acted upon. We combine frontier language models, retrieval systems, agentic workflows and intuitive end-user orchestration into mission-ready tools that work in disconnected, distributed, and classified environments. If you're passionate about building meaningful AI with real-world impact for the Warfighter, we want to work with you.

Role Description

We're hiring a Frontend Software Engineer to help build the core user-facing components of our agent platform. In this role, you'll take ownership of developing intuitive interfaces that make complex AI systems usable for non-technical warfighters. You'll work closely with machine learning engineers, military users, and product leadership to design and deploy full-stack AI applications that blend advanced agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with human in the loop, natural language processing (NLP), and system orchestration. This is a high-impact, full-time role from our Austin, TX office.
