Base pay range

£65,000.00-£70,000.00 (approximate).

Our client is a fast‑growing technical consultancy known for delivering bespoke software engineering on complex, high‑impact programmes across the UK public sector.

Their culture is flat, collaborative, and delivery‑focused. Engineers are trusted to make informed decisions, work closely with stakeholders, and develop solutions from concept to production. Projects are long‑running, teams are stable, and engineering quality genuinely matters.

You’ll join an agile, client‑embedded team delivering modern, scalable systems. Your work will include:

• Designing and building backend services using Java (12+) and Spring Boot
• Contributing to front‑end development (ideally Angular, though React is welcome)
• Working across the full SDLC: requirements, build, test, deploy, support
• Applying TDD/BDD, clean code principles, and DevOps practices
• Collaborating directly with non‑technical stakeholders to shape solutions
• Growing your cloud and DevOps capability (AWS/Azure, Docker, CI/CD)

Hybrid working, with on‑site collaboration when it adds value.

You’ll likely be a mid‑level full‑stack engineer who:

• Has strong commercial experience with Java and modern frameworks
• Is comfortable being client‑facing and explaining technical decisions
• Enjoys working across backend and frontend, not just one layer
• Cares about code quality, learning, and continuous improvement
• Is eligible for UK security clearance (UK‑based, no visa sponsorship)

If you want your engineering skills to be seen, trusted, and developed, this role is worth your attention.
