Full Stack Developer - Global Health & AI (REMOTE ROLE)

• Build a governed data-access application that lets users explore data in natural language. This includes the authentication, authorization, audit logging, and disclosure-risk controls that make that safe. In this application, access control is a core safeguard for respondent privacy.
• Develop offline-first field tools for interviewers and field supervisors. These tools must work reliably on low-end devices with intermittent connectivity and sync cleanly when a connection returns.
• Integrate AI services into applications , working with the Applied AI Engineer to expose model pipelines through well-designed APIs, including MCP connectors that make DHS data available in AI assistants.
• Spec out and build products with agentic coding tools. Write the specifications that drive agent-led development, then review, test, and own the code that results.
• Design data services and schemas for survey metadata, microdata, and the results of AI-assisted processing.
• Ensure production readiness and sustainable handover. Write testable, well-tested code that passes required quality gates, and produce clear documentation so partner-country institutions can operate and openly publish tools without ongoing ICF support.
• Communicate progress to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including survey experts, program leadership, and partner institutions.

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with Minimum 5 years, OR
• Master’s degree with Minimum 2 years, of professional full stack development experience building production-grade applications
• Minimum 1year of experience integrating LLMs into production systems, with attention to error handling, security, and reliability
• Minimum 1year of experience with a major cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), infrastructure as code, and CI/CD
• U.S. citizenship is required by federal government contract

Additional Required Skills and Experience

• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern front-end framework (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue)
• Strong back-end development experience in Python or another modern language (e.g., JavaScript/Node.js, Go, Java, C#)
• Experience with relational database design and SQL. Experience with NoSQL technologies is a plus
• Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs
• Hands-on experience implementing authentication, authorization, and audit logging in a production application
• Demonstrated experience using agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot agent mode) to specify, review, test, and deliver production code.

Preferred Skills

• Experience building offline-first or low-connectivity applications
• Experience building a data-access, analytics, or research-data application with role-based access
• Experience working with statisticians or researchers, or with statistical data and workflows
• Understanding of LLM cost, latency, and reliability trade-offs, with exposure to agent frameworks, AI workflow orchestration, MCP servers, or AI evaluation and testing tools.
• Experience building multilingual or localized interfaces
• Experience in global health, international development, or low- and middle-income country settings

Professional Skills

• Builds productive relationships across seniority levels, cultures, and time zones.
• Collaborates closely with designers, product owners, statisticians, and other engineers
• Enjoys wearing multiple hats and taking on varied technical challenges
• Self-motivated. Finds ways to add value without a lot of direct supervision
• Communicates clearly and translates between technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Can simplify complex topics for business and program audiences
