Job Description

Are you an experienced full stack engineer with an eye for design and a passion for web experiences?

Join a specialist digital team working on improving and expanding a public-facing web platform that supports the UK's clean energy mission. We're looking for someone with strong Python/Django and React experience — but also someone who can bring styling, CMS, and DevOps skills to the table.

You'll work closely with a junior engineer, taking some light mentoring responsibilities, and play a hands-on role in the full lifecycle of development — from back-end APIs to front-end styling, deployment and release.

The Role Involves:

• Hands-on development using Python/Django and React
• Styling components (CSS/Tailwind), and managing CMS content
• Working with Docker, GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS
• Leading by example and supporting another engineer on the team
• Collaborating cross-functionally with non-technical teams

Key Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in full stack engineering (Python/Django/React)
• Commercial experience with styling frameworks and CMS tools
• Comfortable with DevOps tools and cloud infrastructure
• Recent experience in client-facing/public web applications
• Strong communication skills – you’ll be speaking with both tech and non-tech colleagues
