We’re hiring multiple Graduate Full-Stack Developers to join our teams and help deliver software as part of an emerging and fantastically interesting sector in the Northwest.
We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. Every time someone new joins it is an opportunity for us to bring in a different perspective.
About the role
You will be joining a software delivery team which is already doing amazing work within the National Security, Intelligence and Law Enforcement sector. Our teams are small (usually no larger than seven people) and you’ll join the team and work with them closely.
Our development teams are responsible for the following:
- Designing, implementing, documenting, and maintaining software solutions.
- Full stack development using Front End technologies, such as React, integrating AWS services and open-source tooling, using a variety of different databases (e.g. MongoDb or ElasticSearch) and developing in Java or Python.
- Working with our DevOps specialists to help manage and maintain their own infrastructure (using Kubernetes).
So you’ll develop new components, you’ll fix bugs, you’ll learn new ways of doing things and we will learn from you. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work, with plenty of support along the way.
Here are some things we’ve worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what you’ll be doing day to day:
- Improving systems integration performance, using Apache Ni-Fi, by balancing scaling and flow improvements through chunking.
- Implementing AWS Security Control Policies to manage global access privileges.
- Validating and Converting data into a common data format using Avro Schemas and JOLT.
- Designing a proxy in-front of our Kubernetes cluster egress to whitelist traffic and mitigate any security risks.
- Implementing Access/Role Based Access Control in Elastic Search.
- Writing React UI using an ATDD approach with Cypress.
- Improving docker-compose config and REAMDE instructions to improve DX.
- Writing CI/CD pipelines.
- Enhancing a rules engine using TDD in Java.
