Senior Full Stack Developer

Do you want to be part of a new and exciting transformation? Join us at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) where you will be part of Software Engineering, developing, testing, and supporting web applications within a multi-disciplinary product team, providing technical skills that traverse both front and back-end development disciplines. The role operates within a DevOps CI/CD environment delivering new and innovative solutions for the CAA.

You will work within an agile SCRUM project team and produce products using technologies such as React, NextJS, and C#, that integrate into products across the Microsoft stack like SharePoint and Dynamics 365. The applications will be deployed to the Microsoft Azure platform using automated build and deploy processes. You will work with a wide range of CAA colleagues and external suppliers and will be responsible for ensuring the solutions you work on meet development principles and technical standards.

The role requires a combination of technical design skills and delivery across the full project life cycle. Strong engagement and collaborative skills are required to provide the capability of dealing directly with product owners in the business.

The project we are recruiting for is a green field flagship project to develop a key system that spans the organisation and provides support for aviation safety auditing, certification and approval systems.

We are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic Full Stack Developer who can produce high-quality solutions, a team player who can communicate at all levels within the organisation.

Independent and team-oriented delivery, able to remain focused using initiative or under direction. Knowledge and experience of developing solutions with tech stacks that match the CAAs as described below are required.

We are on a journey towards being increasingly adaptable, where our colleagues collaborate as part of cross-functional teams. This approach ensures we never stop learning together. It also means that you may become involved in activities that take you out of your day-to-day role, providing you with opportunities to develop and grow your career with us.

We have embraced hybrid working and offer flexible working patterns, being open to having a conversation about what works for you. We know where and when we work is important in achieving a work-life balance.

We offer a range of excellent benefits such as flexible working arrangements, free onsite gym at Gatwick, discounted gym membership for London, 28 days annual leave, additional 5 days leave purchase scheme, a generous pension scheme and much more!

The CAA will be relocating from Aviation House (Our Gatwick Office) to new premises in a few years’ time. Our move is driven by strategic, operational and environmental considerations.

We will be moving to a new local home, up to a 15-mile radius of Aviation House, to minimise disruption for our valued colleagues and customers.

We are now working with colleagues and visitors to understand what we need in our new office, before we start our property search. We will sell Aviation House and land, vacate the site and move to new premises, but we do not expect to move before 2028.
