Software Engineer | BTGJP

Front End Developer (SC Cleared)

Location: Ipswich (100% On-site)

Contract Length: 6 months

Security Clearance: Active SC Clearance Required (Immediate Start)

The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Front End Developer with a strong software engineering background to lead the modernization of our application suite at Adastral Park. This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible for transitioning existing applications to a TypeScript and React baseline, utilizing our established internal boilerplate to drive security, performance, and development efficiencies.

As a key contributor in an Agile environment, you won't just be coding; you will be the bridge between technical execution and product vision-capturing requirements directly from Product Owners and translating them into high-quality, version-controlled software.

Core Objectives

• Modernization: Align Legacy applications with our current TypeScript/React baseline and internal standards.

• Security & Efficiency: Enhance application security protocols and streamline Front End performance.

• End-to-End Delivery: Manage the full development life cycle, from requirement capture in JIRA to final stakeholder demos.

• Agile Leadership: Drive sprint ceremonies and maintain transparency through regular progress demonstrations.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Audit: Assess and document the current state of existing applications to identify rewrite constraints.

• Requirement Engineering: Collaborate with Product Owners to define features and break them down into actionable JIRA stories.

• Development: Execute the re-write of applications using React and TypeScript, ensuring strict adherence to version control and coding standards.

• Collaboration: Participate in all Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, retrospectives, and planning) and lead demos for stakeholders.

• Documentation: Ensure all technical documentation is updated to reflect the new architecture and deployment workflows.

Technical Requirements

• Core Stack: Expert-level proficiency in React and TypeScript.

• Engineering Excellence: A deep background in software engineering principles (DRY, SOLID, Modular Design).

• Tooling: Experience with JIRA for task management and Git for version control.

• Standardization: Proven experience working with "Boilerplate" architectures to ensure consistency across large-scale projects.

• Process: Strong familiarity with Agile methodologies and the full SDLC.

Mandatory Criteria

• Security Clearance: You must hold current and active SC Clearance due to the nature of the site and data.

• On-site Presence: This role requires being on-site 5 days a week at Ipswich. No remote/hybrid options are available for this initial 6-month term.

• Availability: Immediate start preferred.
