Your role and responsibilities:

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our growing cloud delivery team, supporting the design, development, and deployment of applications within secure, high-impact environments. This role sits within a consulting delivery model, working across client engagements where you will contribute hands-on, support junior team members, and help shape the technical direction of solutions.

The Role:

You will contribute across the full software development lifecycle, working on modern applications spanning both front-end and back-end technologies, with exposure to cloud-based environments. Alongside hands-on development, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of smaller workstreams, contribute to technical decisions, and support the development of less experienced engineers within the team.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of full-stack applications.
• Take ownership of smaller features or workstreams within wider delivery programmes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Support and mentor junior developers within the team.
• Contribute to development standards, best practices, and technical direction.
• Work within secure environments, ensuring quality, performance, and maintainability.

Required technical and professional expertise:

• Strong full-stack development experience, including:
• Front-end technologies (e.g. JavaScript, React or Angular, HTML, CSS).
• Back-end development (e.g. Java/Spring Boot or Node.js).
• Experience working with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP), ideally within enterprise or secure environments.
• Experience using version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices.
• Strong problem-solving capability and ability to work through complex technical challenges.
• Comfortable communicating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working within larger teams or delivery environments.

Unfortunately, we do not offer visa sponsorship and have no future plans to do so. You must be a resident in the UK and have been living continuously in the UK for the last 10 years. You must be able to hold or gain a UK government security clearance.

Preferred technical and professional experience:

• Exposure to containerisation technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with microservices or event-driven architectures.
• Understanding of cloud security and best practices.
• Experience working in regulated or security-sensitive environments.
