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 lifecycle, and help run the AWS infrastructure and CI/CD platforms that support them.

• Automated testing with PyTest
• Clean, maintainable, secure code

What You Will Do

• Design, develop and maintain React Micro Frontend applications using Module Federation
• Design, develop and maintain Python backend services
• Build and operate cloud-native solutions on AWS, including Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, WAF, DynamoDB, S3 and CloudWatch
• 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
• Monitor platform health, troubleshoot incidents and drive continuous improvement

What You Will Bring

Essential:

• Strong hands-on experience with React
• Hands-on experience developing Micro Frontend applications, with practical experience of Module Federation
• Strong hands-on experience with Python
• Practical experience of AWS cloud services and cloud-native architecture, particularly Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, WAF, DynamoDB and S3
• Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform
• CI/CD pipelines using Git and GitHub
• Automated testing and modern software engineering practices

Desirable

• Knowledge of Micro Frontend and Single Page Application design patterns, best practices and performance optimisation
• Experience of public sector delivery and the GDS service standard
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills
