About the Role

  • Manage and collaborate on codebases using version control (Git, Mercurial, or Perforce).
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity, or Bitbucket.
  • Ensure software quality through automated testing and analysis (e.g. SonarQube).
  • Work within Agile delivery teams (Scrum, Lean, or Kanban).
  • Apply design patterns and modern software practices to deliver maintainable, high-performing systems.
  • Use creativity and problem-solving to deliver innovative solutions for critical client needs.

Desirable Skills

(Not essential – training and support provided)

  • Cloud deployment and management experience (AWS or Azure).
  • Familiarity with Machine Learning frameworks (TensorFlow, Azure ML, or Amazon ML).
  • Containerisation and orchestration using Docker or Kubernetes.
  • Understanding of relational, document, or graph databases.
  • Experience with configuration management or deployment tools such as Ansible.

Why Join

  • Contribute to projects that directly support UK Government and National Security.
  • Strong focus on professional development through mentorship and training.
  • Collaborative, inclusive environment that values technical excellence and innovation.
