Full Stack Engineer (Python, React And Aws)

Full Stack Software Engineer (React + Python) | Serverless AWS

Build national-scale services, used right across the country, with a modern React and Python stack.

AT A GLANCE

Rate: £500 per day, Inside IR35
Contract: 6 months, with potential to extend
Location: Hybrid, Leeds
Client: A major national public sector programme, delivered through a leading digital consultancy
Interview process: Two stages - a 30-minute technical conversation with the consultancy, then a 30-minute final panel with the client's engineering team

WHY THIS ROLE?

• Scale and impact: your work will support national services relied on by users right across the country
• A true full stack role: equal weight on React and Python, so you will never be boxed into one side of the stack
• Modern engineering: React Micro Frontends with Module Federation, serverless AWS and Infrastructure as Code
• Ownership: take services from design through to deployment, monitoring and live support
• A strong team: work alongside experienced consultancy and client engineers

THE ROLE

Brio Digital is supporting a leading digital consultancy on a major national public sector programme. They are looking for an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer who is equally strong in React and Python, with a solid understanding of cloud-native architecture.

You will design, build, test and operate scalable applications across the full development lifecycle, and help run the AWS infrastructure and CI/CD platforms that support them.

STRONG REACT AND STRONG PYTHON: BOTH ARE ESSENTIAL

This is not a front end role with some back end, or the reverse. The team needs someone who is genuinely confident in both, and both will be tested at interview.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test and deployment
• Implement automated unit and integration testing, and contribute to code quality and security
• Work with product, architecture and delivery teams to turn requirements into effective solutions
• Monitor platform health, troubleshoot incidents and drive continuous improvement

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

Essential:

• Strong hands-on experience with React
• Hands-on experience developing Micro Frontend applications, with practical experience of Module Federation
