About the role
Python Developer
Outside IR35: £400 - £450 p/d
6 months initial contract, rolling extensions from there
Primarily remote, ad hoc travel to client site
The client
A national public body that runs a free, public-facing legal information service. Legal professionals use it every day, and anyone can access it. The amount of content it takes in keeps growing, and the engineering work behind it is growing with it.
You'll join a digital supplier that has worked on the service for more than four years, alongside the in-house team. The supplier already has a lead developer, a front-end developer, a .NET developer and a part-time delivery manager in place.
The role
This is a hands-on Python role. You'll be part of the wider team, but you may own a separate part of the service yourself. You need to be comfortable taking a problem, deciding the approach and delivering it without close direction.
What you'll do
- Join our client, a digital partner embedded with this central government body for over four years
- Work alongside a Lead Dev, Front-End Dev, .NET Dev and Delivery Manager
- Own a part of the service end to end, sometimes one nobody else is touching
- Write production Python for a live, open-source public service
- Help the platform scale as courts send in more judgments every week
What you'll bring
- Strong commercial Python
- The confidence to take a problem, shape it and ship it without hand-holding
- Live-service habits: tests, code review, CI/CD
Bonus points
- MarkLogic
- XML and structured data (XPath, XQuery, XSLT)
- Django, AWS, Docker
- An interest in legal tech, open data or public services
