About the Role

We're seeking talented

to join Agile delivery teams supporting a range of complex and high-impact
Central Government
and
Critical National Infrastructure
projects. You'll help design, develop, and deploy bespoke software solutions that deliver real-world mission value.

You'll gain hands-on experience across the
full software development lifecycle
— from concept through delivery — working with modern technologies and open-source tools in secure cloud environments.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop, and test robust software solutions using modern engineering practices.
  • Work with a range of open-source libraries, frameworks, and components.
  • Build and maintain
    CI/CD pipelines
    using tools such as
    GitLab
    , ensuring code quality and security.
  • Deploy software systems across public
    (AWS)
    and private cloud environments.

Full Stack Engineers
with commercial experience in:

  • 4+ years Java experience
  • 4+ years AWS experience
  • Agile development environments.
  • Building, testing, and deploying modern cloud-based applications.
  • Previous consultancy experience is beneficial but not essential.
  • You'll be proactive, collaborative, and motivated to work on meaningful, technically challenging projects that make a difference.

Due to the nature of work, you must be willing and eligible to gain UK Security Clearance. To qualify for this, you must be a British passport holder and have lived permanently in the UK for the last 5 years.

Culture & Benefits

We take pride in creating an environment where everyone can thrive — valuing innovation, teamwork, and personal growth.

  • Wellbeing:
    Free 24/7 counselling helpline and employee assistance programme
  • Flexibility:
    Cheltenham office with hybrid working available
  • Growth:
    Dedicated career coach to support personal and professional development
  • Social:
