Full Stack Developer

Overview The Full Stack Developer advances Dental Care Alliance's AI and internal application strategy by transforming proof-of-concept solutions into secure, scalable, and production-ready systems. Partnering closely with the Senior Data Architect and IT stakeholders, this role designs, develops, and maintains AI-enabled tools, APIs, integrations, and internal interfaces—ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture, technology standards, and governance requirements throughout the development lifecycle. The position also supports production stability and drives knowledge transfer to sustain long-term maintainability. Responsibilities Take ownership of internal tools and applications built with AI assistance—such as Python-based agents, SharePoint-based solutions, internal web applications, APIs, and system integrations—serving as the second set of eyes needed to harden them and prepare them for production. Guide and support the build, deployment, maintenance, and troubleshooting of web applications, static websites, full-stack solutions, REST APIs, middleware, and integrations connecting AI tools to enterprise data sources, Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Power Platform, and other internal systems. Design and build internal-facing front-end interfaces from the ground up based on business requirements, ensuring tools are clean, usable, and aligned to workflow needs—without requiring extensive branding or customer-facing design polish—and maintain them as business needs evolve. Partner with SQL Server, data engineering, and analytics teams to design appropriate data access patterns, write and optimize queries, and integrate applications with relational databases, NoSQL databases, and APIs—leveraging existing database expertise for schema design and ETL work. Participate in the AI request intake, prioritization, and governance process—helping translate business needs into technically feasible, secure, scalable, and supportable solutions. Maintain source control, branching discipline, CI/CD pipelines, deployment procedures, environment management, release documentation, and application patching and upgrade cycles. Administer applications throughout the production lifecycle, including monitoring, troubleshooting, dependency management, version upgrades, issue resolution, and ongoing maintenance. Evaluate, test, and support AI-assisted development workflows and tools as appropriate, improving coding, documentation, troubleshooting, and application support practices. Document solution architecture, code logic, configuration details, support procedures, known dependencies, and operational handoffs to ensure applications can be supported by more than one team member. Cross-train IT teammates and business stakeholders on supported tools, operational procedures, escalation paths, and production support expectations. Collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders to gather requirements, clarify scope, manage turnaround expectations, and support fast-paced delivery in an emerging technology environment. Follow established IT security, compliance, access management, change control, and data governance standards when moving solutions from proof-of-concept to production. Perform other duties as assigned to support IT application development, automation, AI enablement, and enterprise technology initiatives. Work Environment This role operates primarily in a professional office, hybrid, or remote technology environment and requires regular use of a computer, collaboration platforms, development tools, Microsoft 365 applications, database and analytics platforms, and application support systems. The position requires frequent collaboration with IT, data, analytics, business, and operational stakeholders and may involve shifting priorities, production support needs, and time-sensitive project deadlines.
