Job description

  • Backend Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable Back End services and APIs using Python.
  • Front End Development: Develop responsive, component-driven Front End applications using Vue.js (experience with React is transferable, though Vue is preferred for current roadmaps).
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Work natively within AWS environments; understand how to deploy and debug serverless or containerised applications.
  • DevOps & CI/CD: Contribute to and maintain CI/CD pipelines (ideally GitLab), ensuring high code quality and automated testing.
  • Agile Delivery: Actively participate in sprint planning, retrospectives, and stand-ups. This is a collaborative role, not a solo coding function.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Translate technical complexities for non-technical stakeholders, maintaining the high professional standards required for Public Sector frameworks.

Requirements

Public sector experience is desirable. If you've worked in or around NHS Digital before, that's worth highlighting. If not, we'd still like to hear from you., * Python: Significant, demonstrable experience developing production-grade Back End systems. You should be comfortable with API frameworks and asynchronous programming.

  • Front End Proficiency: Strong commercial experience with a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js or React). You should be capable of building state-managed, reactive user interfaces.
  • Cloud (AWS): Hands-on experience deploying and managing applications within AWS (Lambda, ECS, Fargate, or similar).
  • DevOps Mindset: Experience working with CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions). We need engineers who care about what happens after they merge.
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. You will be client-facing and representing a global brand in the UK health sector.

Desirable Experience

  • Public Sector Delivery: Experience working within UK Government Digital Service (GDS) standards or similar public sector frameworks.
  • NHS England: Specific experience working with NHS Digital, NHS Trusts, or Health Tech vendors is highly desirable.
  • Enterprise Patterns: Experience with event-driven architectures or complex Legacy system modernisation.

About the company

Our client is a global leader in enterprise digital and cloud transformation, operating across 40 countries. They are currently expanding a dedicated UK division focused specifically on transforming technology within the Public Sector and NHS England. We're looking for a Full Stack Developer to join a team working on NHS England programmes. You'll work across the stack - Python on the Back End, Vue.js on the Front End, and AWS throughout. You'll be part of an Agile delivery team, working alongside other developers, testers and delivery managers. This is a senior role. We need someone who can pick up complex work, get on with it, and help less experienced colleagues along the way.
