Full Stack and Mobile App Developer

Fairbanks Morse Technology’s goal is to create secure, mission-driven, advanced, and reliable technology solutions through artificial intelligence, digital technology, smart engineering solutions, automation, and Advanced IOT Solutions.

FMT is seeking a Full-Stack AI & Mobile Application Developer to join our FM OnBoard team in a full-time, Beloit based roll

You will build and maintain two integrated products as well as any other projects that come up:

• A full-stack AI-powered AI chat bot with advanced document processing web application in Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, using React on the frontend and Python/Node.js on the backend, integrated with Azure OpenAI for large-scale document processing (text, Excel, and image-based content such as schematics, inspection photos, and scanned technical manuals). The solution will support RAG, agentic workflows with tool use, and OCR, all within a Fed-compliant Azure Gov environment.
• An offline-first cross-platform mobile application built with .NET MAUI targeting Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS from a shared codebase. The app will consume AI service APIs when online and fall back to cached content and local features when offline to support critical tasks in low-connectivity environments.

The ideal candidate has full-stack experience across modern web, AI, and mobile development, plus practical experience deploying and operating workloads in government cloud environments.

• Full-Stack AI Application Development
• Design and build a custom full-stack AI application using React (frontend), Python and Node.js (backend), and Azure OpenAI, deployed in Azure Government Cloud.
• Implement scalable document processing pipelines that ingest, parse, and extract insight from heterogeneous sources including text documents, Microsoft Excel workbooks, and image-based content (schematics, inspection photos, scanned manuals).
• Design and deliver retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines over large technical document corpora — including chunking, embedding, indexing, and retrieval strategies tuned for domain-specific content.
• Build AI agents with tool-use and function-calling capabilities that execute multi-step workflows on behalf of operators, with appropriate guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls where needed.
• Implement image analysis and optical character recognition (OCR) workflows using Azure AI Vision, Azure Document Intelligence, or comparable services.
• Develop and publish secure, versioned REST API endpoints that expose AI capabilities to both the web frontend and downstream mobile clients.
• Deploy, configure, and maintain services in Azure Government Cloud in line with federal security and compliance requirements.
• Establish prompt engineering, evaluation, and observability practices to measure and continuously improve model output quality.
• Design, develop, and maintain offline-first cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI, targeting Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS from a shared codebase.
• Integrate mobile clients with the AI application’s REST API endpoints, implementing authentication, request retry, and caching strategies suited to intermittent connectivity.
• Optimize local storage, data synchronization, and offline workflows so applications remain fully usable in low- or zero-connectivity environments.
• Implement secure data synchronization protocols over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.
• Collaborate with UX/UI designers to deliver intuitive, high-performance interfaces tailored to field operators.
• Write clean, maintainable, and secure code across multiple languages and stacks, applying modern testing practices including unit, integration, and automated end-to-end tests.
• Ensure application security, scalability, and reliability by following industry best practices, including secure handling of model inputs, outputs, credentials, and sensitive content.
• Produce clear technical documentation covering architectures, APIs, deployment procedures, and prompt/agent specifications.
• Diagnose and resolve issues promptly across the full stack — frontend, backend, AI services, and mobile client.
• Any other duties as the job requires
