They are seeking an experienced UK-based Software Developer / Engineer who is a clear and confident communicator, able to work with designers, product teams, testers, engineers, and external partners. You will be highly collaborative, supporting team success and contributing to shared goals. Positive, engaged, and proactive, bringing energy to team ceremonies and wider delivery activities. Comfortable with change, able to work through evolving requirements or priorities. Keen to learn and share knowledge, contributing to code reviews, pair-programming, and community-of-practice activities. Experienced working within Agile delivery, contributing to stand-ups, planning, reviews, retrospectives, and show-and-tell sessions. Delivers with quality, making sensible trade-offs and managing technical debt thoughtfully. Stays informed about modern technologies and practices, promoting proportionate adoption of tools that add value.

From a technical point of view, you should be comfortable developing in React and TypeScript, Python, AWS services i.e. Athena/Glue, DynamoDB, ECS, S3, Lambda, SQS, Step Function, etc. Using automated testing frameworks for Python and JavaScript. Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and Agile delivery workflows. Git, Jira and Confluence. Nice to have experience in Cypress, GitHub Actions and Splunk.

Please be clear that only candidates that meet the above criteria with the right to work and are resident in the UK with a UK Passport will be considered. You must have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years (unbroken) as the client will want you to undertake BPSS clearance and may want to offer SC Clearance in the future. The nature of the work requires this candidate to be based in the UK with a UK Passport or ILR at least. This role will allow for remote working here in the UK, but you must be able to attend key client sites in London when needed. #4786114 - Matthew O
