About the Role

BigRio is seeking an experienced Senior Full-Stack Developer to join a fast-paced, high-impact team on a contract basis. In this role, you will work directly with our client's team lead to integrate cutting-edge third-party libraries and tools — including scientific platforms such as Foldy (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) — into an existing client platform.

• Evaluate and implement new tools and frameworks as needed throughout the project lifecycle
• Maintain clean, well-documented, and scalable code throughout the engagement

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience in full-stack development
• Deep expertise in Angular (front-end architecture, components, services, routing)
• Strong proficiency in Python (back-end development, APIs, scripting, data handling)
• Proven ability to integrate third-party libraries and external platforms into existing systems
• Ability to rapidly learn and work with unfamiliar tools, frameworks, and scientific platforms
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Nice to Have

• Experience working with scientific or research-based platforms and APIs
• Familiarity with university or research institution environments
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
