The Role

We're looking for an experienced Frontend Developer to build accessible, high-quality digital services for UK government clients. You'll work in a multidisciplinary agile team, using JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js to build the user-facing layer of services and the APIs behind it, in line with GDS standards and patterns.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain accessible, responsive user interfaces and Server Side applications using JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js.

  • Develop with Express or Fastify, and with Nunjucks templates where the service uses them.

  • Build and consume API microservices.

  • Work with SQL or NoSQL databases, and use Redis for caching and session handling.

  • Write automated tests with Jest or Mocha, and practise test-driven development.

  • Follow the GOV.UK Design System and GDS standards and patterns, and meet the GDS Service Standard.

  • Make sure services meet WCAG accessibility standards, and test with assistive technology.

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, and deploy services on AWS and Azure.

  • Review code, share good practice and support colleagues.

  • Work with designers, user researchers, content designers and delivery teams to deliver iteratively.

  • Investigate and fix defects, and support services in live.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • BPSS check required.

  • Strong, hands-on experience of JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js.

  • Experience with Express or Fastify.

  • Experience writing tests with Jest or Mocha.

  • Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases.

  • Experience with Redis and with building or using API microservices.

  • Experience working with AWS and Azure, and with CI/CD pipelines.

  • Good knowledge of WCAG accessibility and of GDS standards and patterns.

  • Experience working in agile, multidisciplinary teams.

  • Strong communication skills.

Desirable:

  • Experience with Nunjucks.

  • Experience delivering services through GDS phases and service assessments.

  • Experience with the GOV.UK Frontend and Design System in live services.

  • Docker and infrastructure as code (for example Terraform).

  • Experience mentoring other developers.
