WHY THIS ROLE?
* Scale and impact: your work will support national services relied on by users right across the country
* A true full stack role: equal weight on React and Python, so you will never be boxed into one side of the stack
* Modern engineering: React Micro Frontends with Module Federation, serverless AWS and Infrastructure as Code
* Ownership: take services from design through to deployment, monitoring and live support
* A strong team: work alongside experienced consultancy and client engineers

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.

STRONG REACT AND STRONG PYTHON: BOTH ARE ESSENTIAL

React:
* Strong hands-on React with TypeScript
* Micro Frontends using Module Federation
* Reusable components, state and API data handling
* Testing with Jest, React Testing Library or Cypress
* Accessibility and performance

Python:
* Strong hands-on Python building production services
* APIs consumed by React front ends
* Serverless Python on AWS Lambda
* 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
