About The Position

CGI has an immediate need for a Full Stack Engineer (Angular) to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced team environment supporting one of the non-profit organizations that collects, verifies, and maintains student enrollment and degree data for educational institutions. As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining cloud-native web applications and data-integrated services on AWS. This role works across the full technology spectrum—front end (Angular), backend (Java/Node.js), APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure—to build secure, scalable, and high-performing solutions. The engineer collaborates with architects, product owners, data engineers, and DevSecOps teams to deliver features that support both application and data-driven business needs. We’re looking for an engineer who thrives in cloud-native environments and enjoys blending application development with data engineering. This role requires someone equally comfortable building intuitive UI/UX experiences, scalable backend microservices, and robust data pipelines. You’ll leverage AWS to deliver secure, high-performing, data-driven applications while collaborating across teams to solve complex challenges and continuously enhance system reliability and performance.
