Full Stack Developer (React/NodeJS)

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Tempe, AZ that is looking for a Full Stack Developer to help build and scale geospatial and 3D data platforms that support mapping, indoor intelligence, and reality-capture workflows. The Full Stack Developer will work across the stack-from React based web applications to Node.js services and spatial databases-delivering performant, cloud native solutions on Azure. This role is ideal for an engineer who embraces an AI-native mindset towards software development and enjoys solving complex spatial problems, working with large datasets, and turning advanced data (maps, BIM, point clouds, splats) into intuitive digital twin experiences.

Duties:
* Design, develop, and maintain full-stack web applications using React and Node.js
* Build and optimize secure REST APIs (preferably with an API first approach)
supporting spatial queries and high-volume data access
* Develop microservices or backend services that handle large scale geospatial data
processing
* Model and query geospatial data using PostgreSQL and PostGIS
* Develop interactive map and visualization experiences using Mapbox or equivalent
open-source libraries
* Work with cloud native infrastructure on Azure, deploying containerized services
* Focus on optimizing map load times and ensuring performant, responsive user
experience in emergency scenarios
* Integrate identity and access management (IAM) solutions (e.g. EntraID) to support
role-based access control (RBAC), and compliance with regulatory standards
* Familiarity with attribute-based access control (ABAC) is a plus
* Support ingestion and transformation of large spatial and 3D datasets
* Collaborate closely with product, design, and domain experts to deliver production
ready features
* Curiosity around spatial data, 3D, containerization, and AI-enabled workflows
* Comfort working in evolving problem spaces and adapting to the challenges

REQUIREMENTS:
* Strong experience in JavaScript/TypeScript
* Production experience with React on the front end
* Backend development experience with Node.js
* Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization
* Familiarity with PostGIS or spatial data concepts
* Experience integrating and working with Mapbox (or similar web mapping libraries)
* Working knowledge of Azure cloud services
* Familiarity with API-first development approaches and building secure REST APIs optimized for spatial data
* Experience developing microservices or modular services for geospatial applications
* Working knowledge of containerization technologies and container deployment
* Understanding of AI fundamentals and how AI driven features are integrated into modern applications
* Experience using Git-based workflows and collaborating in a team environment, and following gitOps best practices
* Commitment to continuous learning and innovation, especially in cloud-native and AI-native software development

Nice to Have:
* Experience with Jenkins and CI/CD pipelines
* Experience with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
* Familiarity with Jira and GitHub including but not limited to GitHub Actions and Codespace
* Exposure to large or complex datasets (-big data- environments)
* Knowledge of BIM workflows and formats (e.g., IFC)
* Experience working with point clouds, Gaussian splats, or other 3D data representations
* Understanding of web-based 3D rendering or visualization techniques
* Understanding of microservices or service-oriented architecture and best practices
in scalable service design

Tech Stack:
* Frontend: React, TypeScript, Mapbox
* Backend: Node.js, REST APIs, microservices or service-based architecture
* Data: PostgreSQL, PostGIS
* Cloud & DevOps: Azure, Docker, Jenkins (nice to have), Kubernetes (nice to have)
* Tools: GitHub (GitHub Actions, and Codespace), Jira
* Strong ownership mindset and clear communication
