About Us:

My client is a specialist software consultancy providing new bespoke solutions to solve our customers complex operational problems. This role will join a live project within the Central Government team.

They offer a remote-first type position with this role. However, being a consultancy, there will be expense-travel to customer sites, usually once every two weeks(usually London).

The Opportunity:

As a Software Engineer, you will join an Agile focussed team, gaining exposure to:

• Implementing software solutions including design, development and testing
• Using a wide range of technologies, specialising in the use of open-source libraries and components
• Utilising tools such as GitLab to build continuous integration pipelines, which help monitor and ensure software quality and security
• Deploying software systems to a mixture of environments, including public (AWS and Azure) and private cloud
• Full Software Lifecycle involvement: project concept formalisation; requirements analysis and specification; architecture design; implementation and delivery; training and support and software life cycle and maintenance

Skills & Experience Required:

• This role is open to a Full-Stack Software Engineer or a Back End focussed Software Engineer
• Proven experience as a Software Engineer, with strong expertise in Java or/and JavaScript (React, Angular, or Vue.js).
• Experience working with AWS services (eg, Lambda, S3, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB).
• Familiarity with modern development practices, including Agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architecture.
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, database management (SQL & NoSQL), and cloud-native development.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as in a team.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders.

Due to the industries we work in, my client requires you to be able to obtain security clearance (however, you do not already need to possess security clearance to apply). To qualify for this, you must be a British passport holder and have lived permanently in the UK for the last 5 years.
