On behalf of the Cabinet Office, we are looking for a Full Stack Developer (Python & Laravel) (Inside IR35) for a 7 Month contract based Remote.
The Applied Data & Insight (ADI) team within the Cabinet Office sits at the centre of the Government Communications profession.
You’ll be joining ADI to work on Assist — the UK Government’s first live Generative AI product, used by over 750 civil servants daily. Assist enables government communicators to brainstorm, draft, and review content using Claude (Anthropic) via Amazon Bedrock, enhanced with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), file upload capabilities, and role-specific prompts.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a business-critical tool with a bold roadmap for FY25-26, including features like synthetic audiences, sentiment analysis, and personalisation. The role is ideal for an enthusiastic and innovative developer who is curious about emerging technologies and AI trends. You’ll work in an agile environment, contributing to weekly sprints and helping shape a cross-government product that’s delivering real impact.

• Develop and maintain the backend API using Python (FastAPI, asyncio, SQLAlchemy) and the frontend UI using Laravel/PHP (Livewire), ensuring accessibility and performance.
• Deliver technical maintenance and iterative development of both the Laravel-based frontend and the FastAPI-based backend, hosted on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• Manage code, testing, and deployments via GitHub and AWS Elastic Beanstalk, ensuring secure and scalable delivery.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Managers, User Researchers, and Behavioural Scientists to co-design and test product updates.
• Contribute to technical decision-making, including Generative AI features such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), prompt engineering, and application design.
• Design and develop new features, including sentiment analysis, data ingestion, and synthetic audience creation, while supporting Agile delivery through sprint planning and documentation.
