About the job you're considering

We have vacancies for talented Software Engineers to join our dynamic team building solutions for our public sector client.  Our mature Agile environment will give you a great working environment to collaborate with fellow specialists from other disciplines. 

Working with us will mean delivering critical digital services from end-to-end working on a variety of projects featuring high-performance cloud platforms using Java based languages and technologies, and on-premise traditional infrastructure.

As a member of our self-empowered and multi-disciplined teams you will be given the freedom to shape the way you work to ensure you are working to latest industry practices, tools and technologies.

Hybrid working:  Your working location will vary depending on your role, personal needs, and business requirements. This will typically include a mix of Company offices, client sites, and remote work from home. You will be expected to work from the Telford office between 40% and 70% of the time. As we align closely with customer requirements—which may change over time—you will need to remain flexible. Please note that fully remote working (100% from home) is not permitted.

Your role

We’re looking for people who are learning focused, challenge the status quo and are constantly looking to shape their working environment to make it an exciting, fun and interesting place to work.

As a Software Engineer your primary focus will be to deliver user stories whilst working as a part of a multi-disciplined team.
You’ll be working closely with analysts and designers to build, deploy and support your services using well established software development techniques such as TDD, BDD and pair programming.
Getting involved with all stages of service delivery including testing, configuring, deploying, supporting, and monitoring using industry standard tooling, to truly work in a DevSecOps capacity.
Whilst working in a collaborative environment you are going to meet a variety of different people who, like you, have a wealth of knowledge and experience. As a part of one or more communities, you will have the opportunity to influence how we grow as a delivery centre and how we do things by sharing ideas and working with others to make things better.

Senior engineers are expected to lead by example, fostering a culture of excellence. You will actively mentor junior engineers and support their wellbeing, professional growth, and development, including through effective performance management.

Our Culture
Keeping things fresh is something we encourage in our working practices, but the culture of continuous improvement is equally as important in our technical approach to building and delivering modern digital services. Your knowledge and experience will be used to change the way we build solutions including utilising new tools and technologies to solve new problems or improve existing services.

Working on our services means you’ll be part of a team, but you’ll also be a part of communities of interest. This means you’ll always have people on hand to share and discuss ideas and get help when needed.  The engineering organisation is engineering led, supporting each other through coaching and mentoring, so if you want to change something it’s within your power to do so.

Your skills and experience

Ideal candidates will have strong technical competence in:
•    Java
•    Spring Boot
•    Open-source integration frameworks
•    TDD, Unit testing and automated integration testing
•    Experience of building RESTful APIs in Spring boot
•    Experience of building loosely coupled synchronous and asynchronous microservices

In an Agile environment communication is key and therefore we expect professionalism, good communication skills and approachable team members. 

Good working knowledge of Spring JPA, AOP, Transactions, SQL and NoSQL databases, containers and container management platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes is desirable. 

Experience of Cloud based infrastructure is desirable, along with an understanding of application security principles, continuous integration and continuous delivery. 

As a well-rounded Agile Software Engineer, we encourage adaptability plus general skills in problem solving, business analysis, quality assurance, application design and architecture to compliment your Java development specialism. 

Your security clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. 
To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.
