Software Guidance & Assistance, Inc., (SGA), is searching for a FS Mid-Level Developer - Front End for a CONTRACT assignment with one of our premier Regulatory clients in the DMV area.

This role is part of a technical team building the next generation of document services that leverage OCR and Large Language Model (LLM) technologies to provide document transformation capabilities across the enterprise. This is a full-stack position with a strong front-end emphasis: the ideal candidate will design and build modern, responsive user interfaces using React or Vue.js that put intelligent document processing in the hands of end users, while also developing the scalable backend services that power intelligent document ingestion, extraction, and transformation workflows.

• Review and analyze process, system, and/or data requirements and specifications.
• Design and implement backend components for one or more areas (subsystems) of a project, product, or program.
• Build, test, deploy, and document software components for project and program-level solutions.
