About the Role

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill dev job. As a Senior Software Developer, you’ll be hands-on in building the very tools patients in Wales use to manage their health. That includes contributing to the NHS Wales App and other connected digital services. You’ll shape the technical direction, mentor team members, guide design decisions, and deliver solid, secure solutions that directly improve healthcare access. You’ll also get stuck into discovery work, estimation, low-level design, and testing activities. There’s room to grow, lead, and leave your mark – all within a truly supportive work environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead on technical quality across epics and workstreams
• Design and estimate technical solutions with confidence
• Help define the scope of work packages and stories
• Code, review, and coach team members
• Collaborate during discovery and sprint planning
• Ensure patient-facing tools are reliable, accessible, and safe
• Co-produce solutions alongside users and health practitioners

Disclosure and Barring Service Check

This role needs a standard DBS check due to its connection to health services. It falls under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions Order) 1975.
