🌲 Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack – Java) 🌲 — SC Cleared 🌲
📍 Cheltenham, Plymouth, Manchester, or Bristol (Hybrid) · 💰 £45,000–£70,000
My client is a specialist software consultancy delivering bespoke solutions to solve complex operational problems for Central Government customers. As their team grows, they're looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join a live delivery team working on mission-critical systems used by government caseworkers and citizens.
🌲 The role
You'll work full lifecycle — from requirements and architecture through to delivery, support, and maintenance — on a Java, TypeScript and React stack, deployed across AWS and Azure. You'll be based out of one of the client's UK offices (choose your own office/home balance under their hybrid policy), with roughly fortnightly in-person time with the end client. Depending on experience, there's real scope to grow into technical leadership — owning architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and managing client relationships directly.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
🌲 What you'll be doing
- Designing, building, and testing full-stack solutions using Java (backend) and React/TypeScript (frontend)
- Building and maintaining CI pipelines in GitLab, with a strong focus on code quality and security
- Deploying and operating systems across AWS and Azure
- Working directly with government stakeholders to translate operational needs into technical solutions
- Depending on seniority: leading design decisions, mentoring junior engineers, and owning client relationships
🌲 What we're looking for
- Solid commercial experience with Java, Spring Boot (or equivalent), TypeScript, JavaScript, and React
- Comfortable working across both AWS and Azure
- Consultancy background is a plus but not essential — they care more about your delivery track record
- Genuinely enjoy working directly with clients and translating ambiguous requirements into shipped software
