Full Stack Web Developer
Advanced Sciences and Technologies (AS&T)
Washington, DC
Job Title: Full Stack Web Developer (Geospatial/3D Visualization Focus)
Location: Hybrid / On Site (EHT, NJ or Washington, DC)
Employment Type: Full-time (W-2) or 1099 Contractor (flexible based on candidate preference and project needs) Experience Level: Mid-level to Senior (3–8+ years preferred)
About the Role
We are seeking a talented Full Stack Web Developer to design, build, and maintain scalable web applications from user interface to database and deployment. You will be responsible for features end-to-end, with a focus on interactive, data-driven experiences —particularly those involving 3D geospatial visualization, mapping, or terrain rendering. Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to deliver high-quality, responsive applications that drive business value.
In 2026, strong full-stack developers combine solid fundamentals with modern tooling (TypeScript, component-based UIs, cloud deployment) and awareness of specialized libraries like CesiumJS for 3D earth/globe visualizations.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop responsive, accessible front-end interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks
Build and maintain back-end services, APIs, authentication, and business logic
Create, optimize, and query databases (SQL and/or NoSQL)
Integrate front-end with back-end services and third-party APIs (including geospatial data sources)
Write clean, maintainable, testable code following best practices
Perform debugging, performance optimization, and cross-browser/device testing
Participate in code reviews, architectural decisions, and agile processes (sprints, stand-ups)
Deploy and monitor applications (CI/CD, cloud platforms, basic DevOps tasks)
Troubleshoot production issues and implement fixes
Collaborate with UI/UX designers, product managers, and other developers
Stay current with emerging technologies (especially in 3D/web geospatial tools) and suggest improvements
Required Skills & Qualifications
3–8+ years of professional experience in full-stack web development
Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript (TypeScript is essentially mandatory in most professional stacks)
Front-end expertise:
HTML5, CSS3 (Tailwind CSS, CSS-in-JS, or modern styling solutions)
React.js (most common), Next.js, Vue.js, or Angular
Back-end expertise (one or more):
Node.js + Express / NestJS
Python (Django / FastAPI / Flask)
Java / Spring Boot
Go, Ruby on Rails, or .NET (less common but still relevant)
API design & consumption: REST, GraphQL, WebSockets
Databases: PostgreSQL/MySQL (SQL), MongoDB or similar (NoSQL)
Version control: Git (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket workflows)
Testing: Unit/integration/end-to-end (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.)
Deployment & tools: Docker basics, AWS/GCP/Azure (at least one), Vercel/Netlify, CI/CD pipelines
Understanding of responsive design, accessibility (WCAG), SEO basics, and web performance
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to learn quickly
Preferred Experience
Experience with CesiumJS (including its APIs, 3D globe/terrain rendering, CZML/GeoJSON data handling, entity management, and integration with React/Resium—highly desirable for geospatial or visualization-heavy projects)
Experience with Next.js (App Router) or similar full-stack React frameworks
TypeScript in both front- and back-end codebases
Authentication/authorization (JWT, OAuth, NextAuth/Auth.js, Clerk, Supabase Auth)
State management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query / TanStack Query)
Cloud services (serverless, S3, Lambda, RDS, etc.)
Basic DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes awareness, Terraform basics)
Familiarity with AI tooling (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) for productivity
Experience building real-world apps: e-commerce, dashboards, SaaS products, auth + payments, or geospatial/mapping/3D visualization tools
Mobile-responsive or progressive web app (PWA) experience
Geospatial data knowledge (e.g., GeoJSON, 3DTiles, imagery integration)
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, GIS/Geospatial, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
What We Offer (Typical Range)
Competitive compensation:
W-2 full-time: $75,000–$135,000+ base (depending on location/experience/level) + benefits
1099 Contractor: $55–$85+/hour (depending on scope, expertise, and project duration; potential for long-term extensions)
Health benefits, 401(k) matching, PTO (for W-2); flexible terms for 1099
Remote-friendly options, professional development budget
Opportunity to work on meaningful products with modern tech stack, including cutting-edge 3D geospatial applications
