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 lifecycle, 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.
