Emanate Technology is working with a federal government organisation looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help deliver a new digital platform built on modern AWS and headless CMS technologies.

This role is primarily focused on backend development and integrations rather than traditional front-end development. You'll be building APIs, authentication services, search capability and integrations with business systems, while working alongside front-end developers, content specialists and delivery teams.

It's a good fit for someone who enjoys building things properly, likes working across multiple technologies and is comfortable owning technical problems from design through to production.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Building and supporting APIs using AWS API Gateway and Lambda
  • Developing integrations with internal and third-party systems
  • Implementing authentication and authorisation using Amazon Cognito
  • Building and improving search services using Amazon OpenSearch
  • Developing AI-enabled services using Amazon Bedrock
  • Working with TypeScript, Node.js and modern web technologies
  • Supporting Contentstack integrations and content delivery services
  • Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code
  • Maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
  • Contributing to architecture decisions, technical design and code reviews
  • Supporting production releases and ongoing platform improvements
What we're Looking For
  • Strong experience building applications using TypeScript and Node.js
  • Experience designing and developing REST APIs
  • Hands-on AWS experience, particularly Lambda, API Gateway and Cognito
  • Experience building integrations between applications and business systems
  • Experience with serverless architectures and cloud-native development
  • Strong understanding of application security, authentication and API design
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation or AWS CDK
  • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
  • Experience with OpenSearch
  • Experience with Bedrock or other AI services
  • Experience with Astro, Next.js or similar frameworks
  • Experience with Contentstack, Contentful or other headless CMS platforms
  • AWS certifications
  • Experience working in government or another regulated environment
What's On Offer?
  • Work across a modern AWS stack with a strong focus on backend development and integrations
  • Opportunity to contribute to a high-profile website rebuild and content platform migration
  • Small team environment with genuine ownership and autonomy
  • No security clearance required
