Emanate Technology is working with a federal government organisation looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help deliver a current 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.

- 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
