Key outcomes & responsibilities

• End-to-end engineering: implement standards-compliant JavaScript/HTML front-ends and Back End services in Node.js and Spring Boot; design and expose RESTful APIs with policy-compliant API management; build microservices with robust integration to data, messaging and UI layers.
• Integration & events: integrate with relational/NoSQL stores (MongoDB/DocumentDB) and event streams (Kafka); ensure idempotency and reliable messaging.
• Security by design: implement IDAM/IdP, SSO, RBAC, SSL/TLS, and KMS usage within apps and pipelines; handle secrets safely and follow least-privilege patterns.
• Operability & telemetry: build observable services with AWS telemetry (metrics, logs, traces), well-defined SLOs, and automated alerts; maintain high availability and performance.
• Modern delivery: manage work in Jira/Confluence; use GitHub with trunk/GitFlow practices; implement CI/CD with quality gates, automated tests and security scans; contribute to documentation and runbooks.
• Quality & accessibility: ensure services meet DWP expectations for security, performance,
