About this role

Government Commercial Agency is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their cross-functional squad of engineers. The role involves designing and deploying scalable features for a core procurement platform while ensuring system reliability and integrating AI practices into development workflows.

Responsibilities:

Own the design, build, and deployment of scalable features for our core procurement platform
Take accountability for the performance and security of systems processing high-volume public sector data
Lead the practical integration of Agentic AI coding practices into our team's daily development workflow
Ship clean, secure, and well-tested code while participating in constructive peer reviews
Guide fellow team members, sharing technical knowledge and supporting their development through regular, honest feedback and pair programming
Work closely with product managers and UX designers to translate complex public sector needs into technical solutions
Champion high engineering standards, from refining our CI/CD pipelines to minimizing technical debt

Requirements:

Extensive experience in backend software engineering with Python
Practical experience adopting and integrating Agentic AI coding practices (such as Claude Code) and LLM workflows into daily development to improve workflow efficiency while managing token consumption and API costs
Proven capability in translating high-level architecture into detailed low-level designs using UML modeling techniques, such as sequence, class, or component diagrams, to align engineering squads and mitigate technical risk
Deep understanding of clean code and SOLID principles, with a demonstrated ability to practically apply these standards during peer code reviews to spot design anti-patterns and improve system reliability
Advanced expertise in Test-Driven Development (TDD) and structuring robust unit and integration tests to ensure that high-volume microservices can be safely and continuously deployed without risking production downtime
