Highly familiar with frontend and backend languages, including JavaScript, Python, HTML and associated UI libraries (e.g. Angular Material, Prime). Proficiency in frontend frameworks (e.g. Angular, Node.js), backend frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Django), and building an event‑driven, web‑services based architecture. Experience with enterprise data flows (e.g. ESB, API GW, MQ, AWS Kafka) is required. Experience configuring and deploying to cloud platforms, including setting up instances, storage, and connectivity. Cloud certification (e.g. AWS Certified Professional) and experience working on Government Commercial Cloud is an advantage. Strong command of Git workflows, and automated testing (e.g. Selenium, Playwright, or equivalent) is essential to succeed in the role. Know‑how to integrate AI tools (e.g. Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development while ensuring compliance with organisational governance and controls. Able to deftly balance technical execution with big‑picture thinking, navigating ambiguity and adjusting plans in real‑time to meet go‑to‑market timelines. Comfortable working across an interdisciplinary practice, balancing technical, operational, and business considerations to build purposeful products. Teammates look to you for support and advice. You can guide junior developers to channel their efforts towards achieving shared outcomes together. Comfortable in a startup‑like setting, where roles flex and speed matters, and bring a proactive attitude and strong ownership mentality to the table.
