About the Opportunity: We're working with a major technology services provider to support a leading UK defence organisation as they build out an internal application development capability. The team focuses on delivering rapid, fit-for-purpose applications—often completed in under 40 days—to meet evolving business needs.
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced developers who thrive in light-touch agile environments, enjoy autonomy, and can take ownership of small, end-to-end software projects.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Develop and deliver small-scale applications and tools (ranging from spreadsheet-based solutions to fully fledged web apps).
  • Work with business stakeholders to design, build, document, and hand over applications within tight timeframes.
  • Contribute to a collaborative, fast-moving delivery culture, focused on outcomes and quality.
  • Apply your technical expertise to help shape best practices for rapid application delivery.
Technical Skills (mix of the following is ideal)
  • .NET / C#
  • Angular
  • Python
  • Power BI (for data visualisation and dashboards)
  • Java (occasional use)
  • Familiarity with tools and frameworks that enable rapid prototyping and iterative development
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience delivering small-scale or rapid development projects end-to-end.
  • Ability to work independently, yet collaboratively within a cross-functional team.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
  • Must hold (or be eligible for) UK SC Clearance.
  • Flexibility to be on-site 1–2 days per week as required.
Why This Role
  • Work with cutting-edge defence technology and make an impact in a highly respected environment.
  • Join a flexible, agile, and fast-paced team delivering tangible outcomes.
  • Potential for ongoing engagement beyond the initial term.
