• Familiarity with Terraform, GitHub, and YAML configuration.

• Understanding of CI / CD tooling and workflow automation using GitHub Actions or similar.
• Sound knowledge of version control, branching strategies, and secure software development principles.

• Enthusiasm for learning and a proactive attitude to problem solving.

This role is ideal for an experienced Developer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, thrives in delivery‑led environments, and is motivated by the opportunity to work on high‑profile government platforms.
