Back-End Developer
Location: Leeds (1x/month on-site, otherwise remote)
Rate: £500/day, Inside IR35
Duration: Until March 2027
Overview
We are supporting a consultancy in the public sector looking for a Back-End Developer to help build, scale, and maintain backend services underpinning citizen-facing and internal systems. This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership over infrastructure as well as code, so you'll be just as comfortable in Terraform and AWS as you are writing TypeScript. Mostly remote working with one day a month in Leeds for team collaboration and planning.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs using TypeScript
- Take ownership of AWS infrastructure, including provisioning, scaling, and cost management
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines to support frequent, reliable deployments
- Write and manage infrastructure as code using Terraform, keeping environments consistent and reproducible
- Work closely with product owners, architects, and other engineers to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
- Monitor system performance and reliability, and proactively resolve issues before they impact users
- Contribute to technical decisions around architecture, tooling, and best practice
- Support security and compliance requirements relevant to public sector systems
- Document technical decisions and processes clearly for the wider team
