You believe the best outcomes come from people with different skills and backgrounds solving problems together, and you actively invest in that. * Experience shaping technical direction in ambiguous environments. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and revisiting them as you learn more. * Clear, proactive communication. You naturally keep people around you informed and bring others into decisions. * A commitment to quality through automated testing, code review, and thoughtful engineering practices. ## Description Full Stack Engineers build the products and services that bring AI capabilities to users: interfaces, APIs, data layers, infrastructure and delivery pipelines that make AI safe, reliable and useful for citizens and civil servants. Our stack includes Python (Django, FastAPI), TypeScript, modern JS frameworks (React, Astro, Svelte), PostgreSQL, AWS and Terraform. We integrate frontier LLMs through providers such as Amazon Bedrock, and the AI-integration landscape evolves as the ecosystem matures., We build a portfolio of AI products at different stages of maturity, from early discovery through to services running at scale. You will be part of a small cross-disciplinary team working on one of these products, owning problems end-to-end and shipping real improvements for users. Over time you may move between products as priorities shift, giving you breadth across different problem domains and technologies. We're looking for engineers who care as much about understanding the problem as writing the code, and who thrive when working closely with people from different disciplines., * Work with your team to develop a deep understanding of the problem space, participating in discovery, interrogating assumptions, and aligning on what success looks like. * Shape technical approaches collaboratively, weighing trade-offs with designers, product managers and other engineers to arrive at solutions that work for users and the team. * Deliver working software across the full stack, from infrastructure and data layers through to APIs and user interfaces, in small, frequent increments. * Communicate openly by sharing progress, surfacing risks early, and documenting decisions so the team can move confidently. * Maintain high standards through automated testing, code review, and operational practices that keep services reliable. * Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, knowledge sharing, and constructive feedback. * Get stuck in beyond building features, whether that's participating in user research, supporting a live service, or picking up unfamiliar work to keep the team moving., Appointment is conditional on successfully completing UK Government SC clearance.
