Front End Developer (Java Script, HTML, CSS) I
Washington, District Of Columbia
Contract
Join a team building a brand-new customer-facing experience for a modern media processing platform. This contract opportunity is ideal for a Full Stack Developer with strong React and JavaScript expertise who wants to play a key role in creating a UI from the ground up. You'll build the React-based frontend, develop the Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer, and integrate with APIs that process video, PDFs, images, and other media. The platform runs in a Kubernetes-based environment with automated deployment pipelines and AWS infrastructure.
The biggest opportunity here is the chance to build something new rather than simply maintain an existing application. You'll have significant ownership over the customer experience, helping define how users onboard, submit media-processing jobs, and visualize results. The team is looking for a strong React developer who is comfortable working across the stack and collaborating closely with backend engineers. It's a great fit for someone who wants to deepen their full-stack skills, gain exposure to Kubernetes and AWS, and work on an interesting platform involving media processing and visualization.
