We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established UK infrastructure group with a clear purpose: helping the country move towards net zero. They’re looking for a Systems Developer to join their in-house development team, building and supporting an established suite of business-critical applications.

The role
You’ll deliver full-stack software solutions and work closely with users and product owners to make sure what you build is fit for purpose. This is a hands-on engineering role with real customer contact, so strong service skills matter as much as technical ones.

• Follow release and deployment processes, flagging user impact and risk
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing and continual improvement

What you’ll bring

• Server-side development experience, ideally Python
• Strong SQL skills, ideally PostgreSQL (querying, manipulating data and structure)
• Client-side experience (React, jQuery, JavaScript, CSS/Bootstrap)
• Git, including branching and code review in a multi-developer team
• Experience working in an agile, kanban, scrum or waterfall environment
• Experience supporting software to SLA, working directly with customers
• A degree in IT or equivalent industry experience
• Excellent communication, a team-player attitude, and the ability to take ownership of problems through to resolution

Desirable

• RESTful API and systems integration experience
• Azure DevOps or Jenkins for CI/CD
• Awareness of secure development (OWASP Top 10)
• ITIL 4 Foundation or service desk/ITSM experience

What’s on offer

• Annual cost of living pay review
• Pension contributions of up to 10% when you contribute 5%
• 33 days holiday including bank holidays, with the option to buy 2 more weeks
• Enhanced family leave pay
• Hybrid working for eligible roles
• Development opportunities to support your career goals
