Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer.

The role is to build a new Forms capability consisting of a Java 21 / Spring Boot 3 backend service and a React / Vite / TanStack frontend portal, both deployed as containers on AWS EKS.

The solution will reuse existing platform services for users, projects, project assignments, document storage/S3, Cognito authentication and SES email, integrating with them through REST APIs and JWT.

Forms will be hard-coded for each use case, rather than generated dynamically from configuration. For each reporting period, the system will create a single immutable submission snapshot, with no version history. Project totals will only be updated once a submission is approved, using a single transactional update.

The application should use one common, scheme-independent codebase, with lightweight configuration applied for each deployment. Production deployments will be separated as required, while lower environments may support multiple configurations.

This is a contract of 1 month with 1 month extension possible.

The contractor must be UK-based and eligible to obtain BPSS clearance.
