The University of Cambridge Information Services (UIS) is seeking a talented Senior Software Developer with a strong background in front-end development to join our Drupal team, which sits within the DevOps Division of over 50 developers.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Cambridge University's digital presence. You'll work to create and grow a new generation of websites, collaborating directly with colleagues across the University, and defining technical standards for frontend development. Your contributions will impact a wide range of users, from students considering doing their undergraduate degree at Cambridge, to faculty staff publishing world-leading research.

This position offers hybrid working arrangements, generous benefits, and 41 days of annual leave (inclusive of public holidays).

Our ideal candidate would have experience of:

Creating and running unit and functional tests, using tools like Selenium and BrowserStack. Mentoring other developers and sharing best practices. Collaborating in cross-functional teams, including roles like user-research and communications. Working with users to understand and refine project requirements.

Stand-out candidates would additionally have experience of:

Using containers and working in a DevOps environment, with an understanding of the full system lifecycle. Working with Cloud technologies (preferably Google Cloud), CI/CD (preferably GitLab), and configuration management tools. Working across the stack, including backend API development, ideally using Python and Django.

If you're passionate about building meaningful digital experiences and thrive in collaborative, innovative environments, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in shaping the digital future of Cambridge University

We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working or other flexible working arrangements.

We particularly welcome applications from women for this vacancy as they are currently under-represented at this level in our department.
