About the Fullstack Software Engineer role

The Fullstack Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain secure, scalable digital platforms that help government agencies, developers, and AI-powered systems discover and adopt products and services. The role involves building APIs, search capabilities, content management systems, reusable components, and intuitive user-facing experiences. The engineer will collaborate with product managers, designers, and platform teams to improve integrations, developer experience, and product adoption. Responsibilities also include implementing automated testing and deployment, monitoring service reliability, improving performance through user feedback and usage analytics, and maintaining clear technical documentation. The role requires strong engineering fundamentals, sound technical judgment, and a commitment to delivering reliable solutions that support critical public services.

Key Responsibilities:

Build Scalable Digital Platforms and Knowledge Services

  • Design and develop scalable, reliable, and secure platforms that enable government agencies, developers, and AI-powered systems to discover, understand, and adopt client products and services
  • Build and integrate APIs, content management systems, search capabilities, and knowledge services to deliver accurate, structured, and accessible product information across multiple platforms
  • Define stable interfaces, versioning approaches, error handling, testing strategies, and documentation for platform components
  • Develop reusable components, services, and abstractions that simplify integration, improve developer experience, and accelerate the delivery of new capabilities

Build Product Discovery and Adoption Experiences

  • Develop intuitive, user-facing experiences across product portals, documentation platforms, and quality dashboards that help government agencies and developers discover, evaluate, and use client products
  • Build product discovery features such as search, filtering, recommendations, and contextual navigation to help users find relevant products and technical information
  • Integrate with shared platform capabilities, including product catalogues, subscriptions, and onboarding workflows, to provide seamless experiences across the product adoption journey
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to turn complex user needs into simple, effective digital experiences

Ensure Quality and Reliability

  • Design for high availability and resilience — our platforms serve thousands of government developers and agencies daily
  • Build observability into services: monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and usage analytics that surface issues before users do
  • Implement automated testing and deployment strategies that let the team ship confidently at pace

Improve the Developer and Agency Experience

  • Use delivery signals and user feedback to identify friction and prioritise targeted improvements
  • Produce clear documentation, onboarding flows, and examples that reduce the learning curve
  • Collaborate with UX and product to iterate on interfaces grounded in real usage

Collaborate Across Teams

  • Work with platform and product teams to understand their integration, deployment, and operations needs
  • Partner across platform engineering, product, and design to shape APIs and experiences
  • Gather feedback from real usage and improve platform capabilities iteratively
  • Strong ownership and collaboration skills with a track record of working effectively with UX and Product Management
  • Growth mindset and willingness to share knowledge to grow together with the team
  • Enjoy making data-driven decisions while leaving ego aside
  • Understand that problems can be solved in different ways, sometimes not with engineering; understand how these solutions can and should be evaluated

Requirements:

  • We value strong engineering fundamentals. We’re looking for people who have a degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electronics Engineering, Information Technology or related disciplines
  • At least 5 years of professional experience as a software engineer or equivalent position
  • Demonstrate the ability to build high-quality, secure software
  • Think clearly about abstract problems, with strong debugging and reasoning skills
  • Experience in frontend technologies (HTML, CSS and JS/TS) as well as any web framework (React, Angular, Vue etc)
  • Experience in Node.js/TypeScript will be advantageous, though we are open to other server-side languages
  • Mentored teammates on new ways to deepen their technical craft
  • Able to grasp business domain concepts and set appropriate technical directions at the right level of abstraction
  • Care deeply about public good, and understand the responsibility of working on critical national infrastructure
  • We value ability, initiative, communication, and strong integrity
