AWS‑hosted environment
Additional Useful Experience
Familiarity with GDS design framework, (url removed) component libraries, and templating models
Experience with authentication integrations (handled via third‑party provider)
Exposure to Java (beneficial but not required)
Strong automated testing skills — no separate QA function, engineers write their own tests
Ability to work with AI tooling (e.g., Copilot); experience guiding best practices is a plus
Practices include:
Pairing
TDD
PR reviews
Fast‑moving ticket flow
No appetite for engineers who over‑discuss or over‑spike — the team values momentum, pragmatism, and delivery focus
Team Culture & Expectations
Collaborative, supportive, and delivery‑driven
High‑profile project → blockers get resolved quickly
Looking for someone who:
Pushes for continuous improvement
Keeps work flowing through the board
Is proactive, decisive, and comfortable working at pace
Fits well into a friendly, pragmatic engineering culture
Location & Working Pattern
Fully remote
Occasional team meet‑ups (approx. once every three months)
Meet‑ups may be in any MOJ office, not necessarily London
Travel is flexible — if difficult or costly, the team can accommodate
