• Mentor other engineers and contribute to growing the internal capability.
• Promote engineering excellence through blog writing, community engagement, or internal initiatives.

• Strong knowledge of AWS serverless tools and services (e.g. Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, CloudFormation).
• Experience with containerisation technologies (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Proven track record delivering RESTful APIs and microservice-based solutions.
• Full stack development exposure – HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
• Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Node).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools – Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM.
• Hands-on CI/CD experience with tools like Jenkins, CodeBuild, or Azure DevOps.
• Agile delivery (Scrum, Kanban) and TDD.

Desirable:

• Prior experience working on central government or healthcare-related digital services.
• Exposure to service design and user-centred design practices.

Benefits Include:

• 25 days annual leave (+ statutory holidays)
• Pension scheme – 6% employer contribution
• Health – Private medical, dental options and critical illness/life cover
• Dog -friendly offices, snacks, socials, and more

This is a great chance to take your Python and AWS skills into a rewarding, mission-driven environment, while helping to shape and grow the wider engineering community within a consultancy known for delivery excellence.
