## Description

BigBear.ai is building a small, elite development team that delivers cloud-native applications directly supporting mission operations. This is a focused, high-impact environment where your work is highly visible and directly influences outcomes. We're seeking a mid-level Full Stack Developer with strong Python backend skills and solid frontend craftsmanship who thrives in classified environments and brings a disciplined engineering mindset to building secure, maintainable systems under real operational pressure.

What you will do

You will design, build, and deliver end-to-end mission applications-from database schema and migrations to API layers and the user experience mission users rely on daily. You'll support an established platform while also delivering pilot solutions and MVPs for emerging requirements.

 * Extend Python services and APIs using modern patterns (including Backend-for-Frontend when appropriate)
 * Build and refine React/Next.js interfaces and dashboards for operational workflows.
 * Design PostgreSQL schemas, create migrations, and troubleshoot performance issues
 * Integrate authentication/authorization using OIDC/SAML-based solutions (e.g., Keycloak), including RBAC and secure token/session handling
 * Deploy and operate applications in AWS environments (including classified regions/partitions)
 * Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD (GitLab) in a DevSecOps pipeline
 * Review and remediate security scan findings with guidance from team standards (SAST/SCA and container scan results), and document fixes for reuse
 * Use approved AI-assisted development tools to improve velocity and quality while protecting sensitive data
