Would you like to join the leading international intergovernmental organization?

You will provide Senior Full Stack Software Development Services to architect, develop, implement, integrate, and deploy Full Stack application meant for analytical capabilities for the Toolbox platform that is being developed by NCIA.

Responsibilities:

• Support NCIA in the NATO Programmes of Work with CDT in the area of software development for digital innovation and technology applications.

• Develop advanced application capabilities for analysts, enabling the exploration, analysis, and synthesis of strategic foresight analysis data through complex, multi-step user experience workflows, including cross-article reasoning, topic engineering, source intelligence, and relevance assessment.

• Develop full-stack integrations with AI-enabled backend services, including the exposure of AI-driven analytical functions, retrieval mechanisms, and automated synthesis capabilities in a controlled and user-transparent manner.

• Apply sound software design principles to ensure transparent, auditable, and controllable analytical workflows, including clear traceability between inputs, sources, AI-assisted reasoning steps, and generated outputs, suitable for high-trust analytical and policy environments.

• Deliver deployment-ready solutions that are compatible with restricted and secure environments, including solutions subject to accreditation for NATO UNCLASSIFIED (NU) deployment, and capable of operating under governance, security, and operational constraints beyond standard commercial systems.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

• Senior-level full stack development experience with at least 8 years of experience, covering: frontend and backend development, system architecture, integration, implementation and end-to-end ownership from design through deployment.

• Extensive knowledge in frontend (Vue.js, React, Astro) and backend frameworks (Python, FastAPI), including: Frontend application architecture and state management, backend API design, schema validation, and service orchestration.

• Proven experience integrating frontend applications with backend APIs and data services, including: high-volume data ingestion and querying, search, retrieval, and analyticsoriented backends, performance-aware UI–backend interaction patterns. Must provide at least two project examples demonstrating the experience.

• Practical experience integrating AI and LLM-based services, including: LLM-powered analysis, synthesis, and content generation, retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or hybrid retrieval approaches and deterministic, traceable, and auditable AI outputs suitable for policy and analytical use.

• Experience with designing and implementing analyst-facing workflows, with emphasis on: transparency of analytical results, traceability of sources, reasoning, and outputs, user control over inputs, filters, and relevance criteria.

• Experience working in analytical decision-support contexts or strategic foresight, including: Topic engineering and thematic analysis, source intelligence and relevance assessment, multi-source analytical synthesis.

• Ability to work independently at senior level, including: structuring complex systems from high-level requirements, translating abstract objectives into concrete technical deliverables and delivery constraints

• Experience with analytical platforms, such as strategic foresight analysis, emerging and disruptive technologies assessment, or decision-support tooling.

• Experience deploying solutions in restricted, controlled, or secure environments, including: separation of environments, controlled AI service integration, deployment constraints beyond standard commercial cloud setups
