Full Stack Engineer

We’re an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.

At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.

What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on having a pragmatic attitude to delivery—we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results, no matter how complex the challenge. We’re passionate about making great things happen by embracing innovation, challenging the status quo, and fostering collaboration at every step. At Burendo, caring for people is at the heart of what we do. We value partnerships, listen to different viewpoints, and believe in treating everyone fairly. And, we love to share what we learn—using our expertise to help others grow and empowering organisations to succeed in the long term.

These are the things we value most at Burendo, we can teach skills, but our behaviours forge the culture we strive for.

• A passion for engineering and a desire to keep learning
• A focus on writing clear, concise code that is easy to maintain
• An ability to be pragmatic when required and avoid unnecessary “gold-plating”
• An understanding that quality is everyone’s responsibility and a strong desire to test your own code
• Comfortable working with others in pairing or mobbing scenarios
• A good communicator who shares our values of openness and respect
• A DevOps mentality – meaning that you don’t want to chuck code over the fence, and you are keen to be involved right through to delivering the code to the customer
• A desire to build up and see others succeed, rather than wanting to be the Hero
• A curious attitude to new technology, including AI: keen to try new tools, while checking what they produce and taking responsibility for your work

We believe every engineer should have a fundamental understanding of development, infrastructure, and testing and therefore you’ll need at least some of these skills to help you pick the role up quickly. Burendo is invested in the growth of our consultants and provide a healthy self-development budget you can use to grow in the areas mentioned below, or any other of your choosing!

The must haves:

• Fundamental coding experience, with Python being our preferred language, though we’re open to experience in Node.JS, C# or Java
• Willingness to use AI coding assistants as part of your day-to-day development, and to review and test anything they generate before you use it
• An awareness of using AI responsibly, such as keeping client data and confidential information safe

Plus at least one of these:

• Experience working within cloud environments, specifically AWS or Azure.
• Fundamental understanding of infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or an equivalent technology.

And it would be great if you have any of this:

• A good understanding of and experience working with agile methodologies
• Experience working in supporting a live product
• Experience adapting to different tech stacks
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
• Understanding of and working experience with source control, particularly Git
• Experience with database technologies of some flavour
• Some experience of using AI coding tools like Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or ChatGPT to help with writing code, tests or documentation, whether at work, in study or on personal projects

These are the little bit extra, cherry-on-top skills that will help you stand out. Still give us a shout if you haven’t currently got these skills though!

• Familiarity with agentic tooling, such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot agent mode or Cursor
• Having built something with the Anthropic API or Model Context Protocol (MCP), even as a side project
• Experience with no-SQL technologies such as MongoDB
• Experience of building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLabCI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
• Experience working in the public sector and healthcare industry
• Experience working in a technology or consulting company
• Involvement in community building via blogs, online sites, meetups, or other means

• 25 days Annual Leave (plus bank holidays)
• An additional day of paid leave for celebrations
• 1 additional day of holiday after 2 years' service (26 days total) and another 2 days after 5 years (28 days total)
• Monthly Wellness Allowance
• Annual Learning and Development Allowance
• Paid time off for Life Events
• Matched Employer Contributed Pension (5%)
• Life assurance based on 4 x your salary
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
