As a Domains Team Senior Developer, you'll be responsible for working alongside mid-level and junior developers to build and maintain a platform we have custom-built to manage domain-related vulnerabilities and cyber vulnerabilities. You will be expected to take the lead on individual epics as well as contributing across all of the team's priorities.

Their services are built almost exclusively using Python, including our infrastructure (using the AWS CDK), with small amounts of HTML/CSS and Javascript used in our frontend and for automated testing.
Skills Required:
* A high level of expertise in Python.
* Strong working knowledge of the Django web framework.
* Strong working knowledge of Docker and containerisation
* Strong working knowledge of git and GitHub
* An ability to build and maintain CI/CD tooling, ideally using GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild/CodePipeline
* Experience of deploying and maintaining applications using AWS, including deploying applications and infrastructure using either the Python CDK or other infrastructure as code products
* A strong understanding of relational databases, including PostgreSQL
* Leading work within an Agile environment
* Great team working skills
* Flexibility and willingness to pick up and work on a variety of development problems
* The ability to investigate problems with running applications, including interrogating AWS logs, responding to errors raised in Sentry (or similar tools) and applying fixes
