WHY THIS ROLE?
- Scale and impact: your work will support national services relied on by users right across the country
- A true full stack role: equal weight on React and Python, so you will never be boxed into one side of the stack
- Modern engineering: React Micro Frontends with Module Federation, serverless AWS and Infrastructure as Code
- Ownership: take services from design through to deployment, monitoring and live support
- A strong team: work alongside experienced consultancy and client engineers
THE ROLE
Brio Digital is supporting a leading digital consultancy on a major national public sector programme. They are looking for an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer who is equally strong in React and Python, with a solid understanding of cloud-native architecture.
You will design, build, test and operate scalable applications across the full development life cycle, and help run the AWS infrastructure and CI/CD platforms that support them.

- Deploy infrastructure and applications using Terraform
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test and deployment
- Implement automated unit and integration testing, and contribute to code quality and security
- Work with product, architecture and delivery teams to turn requirements into effective solutions
