- Support the Head of DevSecOps to produce technical design work where required for the new business pipeline and existing clients, completing the troubleshooting process, and executing in a solution-driven, pragmatic way.
- Accountability for building a bespoke software solution for the client’s complex challenges and contribute to societal change.
- Demonstrate the ability to look beyond the code and, address wider challenges around technical architecture, team design and where possible driving innovation and change solutions and alternative services.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders such as Project Managers and our Product Delivery Manager, to adapt software solutions and use open standards, and work cleanly via a rich API.
