Are you a Senior or Tech Lead Software Engineer who loves solving infrastructure challenges through code?

We're recruiting for an experienced Python Software Engineer to join a significant government technology project, helping to build secure enterprise customer platforms used by critical organisations. This is an opportunity to work on complex cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering challenges where your work will have a direct impact on the success of a high-profile programme.

You'll spend your time building automation frameworks, developing internal tooling, creating Infrastructure as Code solutions, and eliminating manual processes through clean, scalable, production-quality code.

What You'll Be Doing

Building automation frameworks and tooling using Python
Developing Infrastructure as Code solutions with Terraform
Creating reusable templates and code generation platforms using Jinja2
Automating Windows environments through PowerShell
Managing and improving configuration management with Puppet
Building CI/CD integrations for infrastructure delivery
Working closely with cloud, platform and engineering teams to improve automation and operational efficiency
Driving infrastructure standardisation, reliability and scalability across complex environments

What We're Looking For

Strong commercial Python development experience
Experience building automation tools, frameworks or platforms
Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience
Experience with AWS cloud services
Puppet configuration management experience
CI/CD and DevOps automation experience
Passion for engineering best practices, testing and code quality
Experience working in cloud and hybrid infrastructure environments
