Senior Software Developers

We're working with a specialist digital consultancy delivering mission-critical public sector transformations on this exciting opportunity.

Are you a heavyweight engineer looking to make a tangible impact on large-scale government systems? We are seeking Senior Software Developers to drive the delivery of robust cloud-native applications using Java, AWS, and cutting-edge Infrastructure as Code tools in an agile, high-stakes environment.

The Role

  • Lead the design and development of highly scalable, secure software solutions tailored for public sector digital services.
  • Architect and deploy applications within AWS environments, leveraging Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) for container orchestration.
  • Drive engineering excellence by implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to ensure repeatable and automated deployments.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to integrate Kotlin or Node.js services into existing Spring Boot ecosystems.
  • Influence technical strategy and best practices across the development lifecycle to ensure high-quality, resilient code.

What You'll Need

  • Extensive professional experience with Java and the Spring Boot framework for enterprise-level application development.
  • Proficiency in modern languages such as Kotlin and/or Node.js within a cloud-first architecture.
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS Core Services and deep familiarity with Amazon EKS and associated DevOps tooling.
  • Proven track record using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and maintenance.
  • Previous experience working within Government Digital Service (GDS) standards and an active SC Clearance (or clear eligibility to obtain it).

What's On Offer

  • Competitive day rate of up to £500 (Inside IR35) for an initial 3-month engagement.
  • Fully remote working flexibility within the UK, allowing for a great work-life balance.
  • The opportunity to work on high-profile projects that directly impact citizens and national infrastructure.
  • Immediate start available for candidates ready to hit the ground running in a fast-paced environment.
