Consultant – Senior Consultant, Back End Developer, Defence and Security, Deloitte Digital, Consulting, London and Bristol
Your opportunity
We love to code, and especially to create, so we’re hoping you’re going to join us and do just that. You will be the sort of person that knows that Agile and DevOps are engineering cultures, not methodologies and tasks for build engineers.
For us, developers are not people who are just fed specifications and sit quietly churning out code. As a senior member of our team, we need you to lead, guide, plan, explain, working alongside clients and other agency disciplines, cracking problems with a mix of technical expertise and innovative thinking. It’s how we outclass the competition and create the best digital experiences.
We are proud of the impact we have with our Defence and Security clients, the strength of our relationships, and the depth and breadth of our skills that we bring to help them achieve their mission – we are privileged to be asked to work with them at the heart of their biggest and most ambitious technology programmes.
Our Defence and Security customers care deeply about thoughtfully constructed and secure systems that are designed to be fit for purpose. Working with our design and development experts you will find that good software engineering is at the heart of what we do. As part of our team you’ll be responsible for developing cutting-edge digital solutions. You’ll work with some of the best developers, UX designers and strategists in the business, using digital to shape the future of how we live, work and play.

Your role
Work with outstanding talent across back and front-end developers, creatives and UX experts, integration teams and the client themselves.

Deliver cloud native and containerised applications using technologies including AWS Lambda, Spring Boot, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and ELK.
Build solutions as part of a DevOps and Agile ecosystem supported by tooling including Atlassian, Jenkins, OWASP and AWS componentry.
Ensure your solution works in a reliable and resilient way across thousands of users and multiple sites and use Site Reliability Engineering methods to keep the solution working whatever is thrown at it.
Help the client and end users to understand trade-offs when making product decisions and explain why you would do things a certain way.
Keep learning! We have a great community of architects and back-end developers who run workshops together, share the best articles they find on Slack, and contribute to the engineering culture.
Going beyond standard duties and responsibilities to champion small details, spot opportunities and add extra value for our clients.
Your work, your choice
At Deloitte we believe the best impact is the value we add, not the hours we sit at our desk. We carefully consider agile ways of working, both formal and informal, that allow for the best impact for our people and our clients. Please speak to your recruiter about the working pattern that works best for you.
Location: Your home office will be London or Bristol, but this client-facing role provides lots of opportunity for travel in the UK.
Work pattern: This is a permanent contract opportunity. The role can be worked on a full-time basis.
Our team members work a variety of agile working patterns. Tell us what arrangement works for you and we’ll try to accommodate.
Your professional experience
Overall, you’re an ideas person and problem solver as well as a hands-on doer – that’s important. And you know it takes a mix of people to do amazing work, so you love collaborating with and learning from people with different skills, backgrounds and perspectives. If you have an interesting or unusual mix of skills yourself, even better.
We’re expanding fast, so we’re looking for people who are, by which we mean natural initiative-takers who bring out the best in others, are brilliant listeners and can grow our business without compromising standards, integrity or culture.
You’ll also have
Experience in software development and an evident passion for writing code.
A clear understanding of the fundamentals of software development in Java, TypeScript, JavaScript and/or Python, along with good overall engineering patterns and practices. Be able to explain these clearly.
Demonstrable experience and understanding of working in teams, particularly in agile methodologies such as Scrum & Kanban.
Your service line: Consulting
Our people and the way we work are the two things that set us apart in the consulting universe. For us, collaboration is fundamental to success, along with an unrivalled depth and breadth of expertise. We work closely with our clients and each other, at every stage of every project, solving our clients’ trickiest problems with a mix of knowledge, creativity and intellectual rigour. A hugely diverse range of clients rely on us to deliver the kind of change that adds genuine, lasting value to their business.
Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints. This can mean that you and your “Immediate Family Members” are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
