• Experience developing scalable web applications and APIs.
• Hands-on exposure to AWS (required) and Azure (desirable) cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with Terraform, GitHub, and YAML configuration.
• Experience working with Docker containers and basic container orchestration (e.g. ECS).
• Exposure to MongoDB or other non-relational databases.
• 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.

Ways of Working & Stakeholder Engagement

• Able to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary delivery team.
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum-based environments, using tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps.
• Good communication skills with the ability to raise issues early and contribute ideas constructively.
• Comfortable working with loosely defined requirements and contributing to solution shaping.
• 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.
