At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 40+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop Valkyrie, our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users.

We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.

At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. We only hire the best. Getting in is hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field.

About the role

We’re building the next generation of our GUI client in React/TypeScript, and we’re looking for an experienced Engineer who can both get hands-on with the code and help shape our frontend strategy at a system level. This is not just another React app - it’s a high-priority product that sits at the core of our offering and will be in the hands of our customers. You’ll join a dedicated, motivated team where frontend is a strategic focus, and you’ll have the chance to truly own the stack and set the direction for how we build great user-facing applications.

Success in this role means driving development forward beyond the first launch: continuously improving performance, optimizing the experience, and shipping new versions that are even better than the last. You’ll work closely with designers, leadership, and customers to ensure the application not only works, but also delights, making it a product our clients love to use.

What you will do:

• Lead the development of our new React/TypeScript GUI from the ground up.
• Take ownership of the frontend stack and make key architectural and framework decisions. 
• Collaborate with design, product, and leadership to deliver an outstanding user experience.
• Gather customer feedback and translate it into product improvements.
• Drive continuous optimization and fast iteration to deliver better versions with each release.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer who can dive deep into the code while also contributing to high-level technical decisions. You understand how React works under the hood, have strong experience with TypeScript, and know how to configure and choose frameworks that fit the bigger system architecture. You’re ready to take full ownership of the frontend stack and can clearly explain why one solution is better than another.

Must-haves:

• Deep expertise in React and TypeScript.
• Solid understanding of system architecture and the bigger picture.
• Ability to analyze and recommend frameworks and technologies.
• Effective and clear communication skills.
• Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills.
• High attention to detail.

Nice-to-haves:

• Fullstack experience (backend exposure is a bonus).
• Knowledge of GIS and mapping solutions. 
• Experience with DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with Storybook and Tailwind.

You’ll be joining a fast-growing company at the cutting edge of defense technology, working side by side with our CEO, designers, and engineering team. In this role, you’ll play a central part in shaping and delivering a React application that is core to our product and customer experience.

Why You Should Join

At Six Robotics, we're not just building software - we're redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If you're driven by meaningful problems, technical depth, and the chance to shape something from the ground up, you'll find your place here.

Work on problems that matter

Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry, solving real challenges with direct, tangible impact.

Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space
We're bringing modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software into a field that's long relied on rigid, pre-programmed systems, to change how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed.

Build from zero, shape the future
Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that’s still being built - where your ideas, code, and decisions will have a lasting influence.

Work with purpose, supported by great benefits
You'll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity, integrity, and collaboration, offering competitive pay, equity potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities.
