Jobbeschreibung

Largely remote but must have the ability to travel to Leeds/ Manchester/ Newcastle/ Sheffield

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer to join a small, highly capable team focused on exploring, validating and shaping technical solutions for a large-scale digital transformation programme. Working closely with technical architects and multidisciplinary teams, you will undertake research, proof-of-concept development, and technical analysis to support key technology decisions for future service development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a self-sufficient engineer who enjoys working in environments with a high degree of autonomy, ambiguity, and innovation, helping define technical standards and approaches that will influence future delivery.

Responsibilities

• Develop proof-of-concept solutions and technical prototypes to evaluate technology options.
• Collaborate with architects and technical stakeholders to investigate and validate solution designs.
• Conduct technical research and structured analysis to support strategic technology decisions.
• Build scalable, maintainable software components using modern development frameworks and tools.
• Contribute to the establishment of engineering standards, patterns, and best practices.
• Work independently to progress complex technical challenges with minimal direction.
• Support the evaluation of cloud-native and containerised deployment approaches.
• Share findings and recommendations with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Delivery of high-quality prototypes and technical spikes that support informed decision‑making.
• Establishment of robust engineering patterns and development approaches for future teams.
• Effective collaboration with architecture and delivery functions.
• Clear documentation of technical findings, recommendations, and risks.
• Consistent delivery in an environment with evolving requirements and limited precedent.
• Positive contribution to technical innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.

Skills & Experience

• Experience with modern web frameworks such as Flask and FastAPI.
• Knowledge of HTML, RESTful APIs, and JSON-based integrations.
• Experience implementing authentication and authorisation solutions using OAuth/OIDC.
• Familiarity with MongoDB or other NoSQL database technologies.
• Strong Linux administration and development environment experience.
• Experience with containerisation technologies, particularly Docker.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms, ideally AWS.
• Experience using Git and modern version control practices.
• Understanding of DevOps principles, continuous integration, and deployment practices.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to work independently and operate effectively within emerging or undefined technical landscapes.
• Experience working within innovation, research, or early‑stage product development environments.
• Experience defining technical standards, patterns, and architectural approaches.
• Knowledge of government digital service standards and accessible design principles.
• Experience working within agile multidisciplinary teams.
• Familiarity with user‑centred design approaches and modern service development methodologies.
