Description
Node.js Developer (Transition from PHP/Drupal), PHP, Drupal, HTML, CSS, Scripting, Javascript, Azure, Microsoft, Developing, Developed, Architect, Manager, Managing, GDS, Government, Security Clearance, CTC, Public Sector, github,
A team of node.js Developers to transition the platform to node.js from PHP/Drupal and help transform the wider service in an agile project.
Our client offers a digital service to five partner banks. To help bring the service into line with service standards and meet accessibility needs we are undertaking a code transformation from the original PHP/Drupal code into node.js. After this the Development team will work as part of a project team to extend and re-architect the wider platform to meet GDS service standards.
Role:
Client is not currently meeting the government's 14-point Service Standard and will fail any future GDS service assessment.
We need to transfer the current platform from PHP/Drupel to node.js in a continuous manner in order to allow us to take advantage of the GDS design patterns and system and therefore better meet accessibility requirements
Building on this we will also commence a discovery into the wider platform to potentially redesign the service to meet user needs and GDS service standards. This will then lead to Alpha, Beta and a new Live service that has passed the relevant service assessments.
We require a team of developers comprised of a senior developer/Technical architect and 3 node.js developers to undertake both of these projects
