Full Stack Engineer

1099 for first 90 days.  Convert to FT, post.

An established strategy consulting firm is looking for a remote full stack engineer to join the team behind its geospatial intelligence platform for telecom network analytics. The platform has been in production for over a decade (Java, React, PostgreSQL/PostGIS) and is now being rebuilt into an AI-first system with interactive analytics, richer reporting, and next-generation fiber network design at national scale.

• Build features across the front end, backend services, and geospatial data stores that support automated network design and national-scale data exploration
• Improve algorithms for fiber network planning, including geospatial analysis, routing, clustering, and cost modeling
• Refactor the architecture to separate core domain logic from IO and orchestration so it can be reused across workflows
• Prototype AI-assisted analysis and agentic workflows that help users interrogate network designs and financial outcomes
• Build reporting outputs that combine maps, charts, tables, and engineering or financial narratives into shareable analyses
• Take work from proof of concept through production, with tests, observability, and performance tuning along the way

What you need:

• 5+ years of full stack engineering, ideally on data-intensive, geospatial, analytics, or infrastructure planning platforms
• Advanced JavaScript/TypeScript with deep React experience
• Strong backend engineering in Java, Node.js, or Python, with the ability to design APIs and domain models
• Experience with PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and spatial data or large-scale data processing
• Comfort with graph and network theory, routing, optimization, and computational geometry
• Solid architecture instincts around modularity and composable system design

Nice to have: telecom or fiber network planning background, experience with mapping libraries like D3.js, deck.gl, or Mapbox, exposure to LLM or agentic development workflows, and cloud/container experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform.

Comp and logistics:
$120-180K annually or $60-100/hour, contract. Initial 3 month term. Remote-first, globally distributed team.
