  • Improve experience of our services while maximising value for money for the taxpayer.

As a Software Engineer (NodeJS), your main responsibilities will be:

  • To develop and maintain software products that make up citizen services and contribute towards their design.
  • Responsible for the operational stability of the products you build and be in a position to affect change in the on-going robustness and resilience of those products.
  • To work within, and contribute to, the overall Software Development Lifecycle Process as part of a multi-functional Agile delivery team focused on one or more products.

Essential:

  • Demonstrable experience working with Software Engineering collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Slack
