Lead Software Developer || Experience within UK central government required

Remote with ad-hoc travel to Manchester

The Company

At Amber Labs, we are a cutting-edge UK and European technology consultancy that prioritises empowering autonomy, promoting experimentation, and facilitating rapid learning to provide exceptional value to our clients. Our company culture is centred around collaboration, where all colleagues, regardless of their role, work together to minimise risk and shorten delivery times. Our team consists of highly skilled cross-functional consultants, analysts, and support staff.

About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Software Developer with deep expertise in backend development and cloud-native technologies to join our growing team.

To be considered for this role, candidates must:

Be eligible for BPSS clearance.

Have proven experience delivering projects within UK central government.

You will lead technical delivery on high-impact government programmes, shaping solutions that are secure, scalable, and user-focused. As a Lead, you'll guide development teams, make key architectural decisions, and mentor colleagues while remaining hands-on with coding and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Provide technical leadership across the full software development lifecycle.

Design, develop, test, and deploy secure, scalable backend services and APIs.

Champion microservices architecture and event-driven systems using Kafka and SQS.

Lead infrastructure-as-code practices with Terraform for deployments.

Build and manage containerised applications using Docker and AWS ECS.

Implement secure authentication and authorisation solutions with AWS Cognito.

Oversee GitLab pipelines and CI/CD best practice.

Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to define and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Mentor and support software developers, encouraging knowledge-sharing and professional growth.

Promote best practices in clean code, testing, and agile delivery.

Key Skills & Experience

Proven experience as a Lead or Senior Software Developer in complex environments.

Strong expertise in Java and/or Node.js development.

Hands-on experience designing and consuming REST APIs.

Familiarity with event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS).

Strong knowledge of microservices architecture.

Experience with Docker, containerisation, and AWS ECS.

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.

Secure authentication (AWS Cognito desirable).

Experience setting up and managing CI/CD pipelines in GitLab (or similar).

Prior experience working on UK central government projects (essential).

Excellent communication skills with a collaborative, delivery-focused mindset.

Clearance Requirement

Must be eligible for BPSS clearance.

At this time, we are unable to consider candidates who require visa sponsorship.

Benefits

Competitive salary and performance-based bonus structure.

Join a rapidly expanding consultancy where personal growth is part of our DNA.

Flexible work environment focused on deliverable outcomes.

Private medical insurance through Aviva.

Company pension plan through Nest.

25 days of annual leave plus UK bank holidays.

Access to Perkbox, a global employee rewards platform.

Generous employee referral programme.

Highly collaborative and collegial environment with clear opportunities for career advancement.

Choice of device (PC or Mac).

Diversity & Inclusion

At Amber Labs, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. We value the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of our employees and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and supported.
