## About the Role

We're looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer with strong Python development skills to join a major UK Government digital transformation programme.

This is a development-focused DevOps role, ideal for someone with strong experience across Python, Go, AWS, Kubernetes and automation within secure, large-scale environments.

Key skills:

 * Strong Python development - backend systems, APIs, microservices & automation
 * Go / Golang development experience
 * AWS - EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch & Lambda
 * AWS SDKs - boto3 / aws-sdk-go-v2
 * Kubernetes API integration & automation

 * LDAP / Active Directory integration
 * CI/CD pipelines and Git
 * Python testing - pytest, unittest & mocking
 * Strong automation and API development experience

Candidates must hold active SC clearance and meet the required single-nationality criteria. The role is also subject to additional vetting, which may result in a longer-than-usual onboarding process.
