As part of a long-term partnership, we are seeking several Senior Java/Node Consultants for a critical public sector organisation. Consultants are typically employed on an initial 3 month basis but are regularly extended as these longer term projects evolve with fresh avenues, challenges and highly testable features to be delivered at scale.
We are looking for Java specialists with experience in Java 21+, Spring 3 and Node, eligible for BPSS (see govt guidelines before applying) and excellent communication skills. This is not just a simple 'write and deliver the code' arrangement; they actively encourage technical leadership, vocal and unique problem solving, cross-team collaboration, communication to build things the right and sustainable way for the user, not just the cheapest or fastest way.
