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

* Practical experience of AWS cloud services and cloud-native architecture, particularly Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, WAF, DynamoDB and S3

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
