Contract Front End Developer Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

As a Lead Technical Consultant you will participate in all aspects of the software development lifecycle which includes estimating, technical design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment and support of application developed for our clients. As a member working in a team environment you will work with solution architects and developers on interpretation/translation of wireframes and creative designs into functional requirements, and subsequently into technical design.

You will develop end-to-end features for our healthcare portal applications,
working across the full technology stack from database to user interface. Our
platform is modern and actively evolving, and this role is focused on new
development: building data-rich, user-facing features in a regulated healthcare
environment, increasingly with AI-assisted capabilities.

The majority of your time will go to feature development for roadmap deliveries:
creating lo-fi/hi-fi mockups for new features, implementing Angular components,
building C# backend services, designing database schemas, and integrating with
external systems. The balance goes to keeping the platform healthy as it evolves,
including performance optimization, addressing technical debt, refactoring legacy
patterns as our architecture modernizes, and scalability improvements.

You will work independently to translate business requirements into user interface
designs and technical implementations, collaborate with other engineers on API
contracts, and participate in architecture discussions. Where it fits, you will
build configurable, data-driven feature logic so product behavior can be adapted
without code changes, rather than one-off hard-coded flows. This position requires
versatility to context-switch between frontend and backend work while maintaining
code quality and adhering to healthcare compliance requirements, including writing
secure, privacy-conscious code and contributing to automated testing. You'll need
to navigate ambiguous requirements, proactively communicate blockers, and bring
innovative ideas to improve both user experience and technical architecture.
