I am actively recruiting for a Senior Developer with extensive experience in Python/Django/AWS CDK. The role is for 9 months working for a large Central Government organisation. The role is split between remote working and London based and paying £650/day inside IR35.

The platform has a Django application at its core, supported by AWS serverless components and automated tasks using Celery. These components feed data into a Salesforce-based Front End. We have several ancillary services supporting the team's wider objectives and plan to stand up additional components/services over the next year.

The services are built almost exclusively using Python, including our infrastructure (using the AWS CDK), with small amounts of HTML/CSS and JavaScript used in our Front End and for automated testing.

• A high level of expertise in Python.

• Strong working knowledge of Docker and containerisation
• Strong working knowledge of git and GitHub

• A strong understanding of relational databases, including PostgreSQL
• Leading work within an Agile environment
• Great team working skills
• Flexibility and willingness to pick up and work on a variety of development problems
• The ability to investigate problems with running applications, including interrogating AWS logs, responding to errors raised in Sentry (or similar tools) and applying fixes

Desirable:

• A strong understanding of the AWS CDK
