We’re building the future of public digital services and need a skilled full stack developer to help define how technology is developed and delivered. In this contract role, you’ll work hands-on to create reliable, secure, and user-centered applications that serve all citizens. Your work will directly influence the technical direction of a growing digital delivery function from its earliest stages.
What You’ll Do
- Develop responsive front-end interfaces connected to backend APIs that power essential public services
- Design and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using platforms like AWS or GCP
- Write clean, tested code with an emphasis on long-term maintainability and reusability
- Help integrate authentication systems, third-party services, and data workflows
- Contribute to decisions around technology selection and platform architecture
- Support deployment pipelines, monitoring, and operational reliability
- Share knowledge and mentor team members to raise overall technical capability
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience with modern front-end technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as React or Vue
- Proficiency in backend development using Python or Node.js
- Familiarity with RESTful API design and cloud deployment practices
- Proven track record building reusable components, ideally within a design system context
- Experience working in complex environments such as government or large institutions
Nice to Have
- Ability to clearly document and communicate technical work
- Experience guiding or coaching other developers
- Thoughtful perspective on how AI can support responsible, efficient digital service delivery
Work Environment
This role supports a hybrid model, allowing for both remote and in-person collaboration. While we prefer some local presence, fully remote candidates may be considered. You’ll join a team committed to pragmatic solutions, rapid iteration, and building services that are simple, inclusive, and easy to understand.
Why This Matters
You’ll have a foundational impact on how digital services are built and scaled across the public sector. This is a chance to promote best practices in code quality, platform thinking, and secure development from the ground up. There’s potential for contract renewal after the initial term, depending on performance and project needs.
