Software Engineer - Scala/Play/ETL (Outside IR35)

Peoplesource Consulting are seeking a Software Engineer with a background in Scala, Play and ETL to take on a 6-month contract role with a Central London based Government client.

The programme aim is to Develop iterations of a consolidated pan-archival catalogue to meet users' needs, including services/APIs in Scala (Play) and ETL processes.

The specialist will work with a Technical Architect and two RDF Developers. The core in-house team is the Service Owner, Product Manager/Data Analyst, Delivery Manager, a Senior Archivist, and the Head of Cataloguing, Taxonomy and Data.

We are developing a Pan-Archival Catalogue and management system, bringing together record descriptions from multiple catalogues into a single new system. You will join a Technical Architect and two other Scala and RDF developers to work on multiple iterations of the Beta development.

We will be continuing with the Extract, Transform and Load process and will be developing services in Scala, using Play Framework for the Front End, to enable users to search, select, add, edit, import, export and delete data via a UI. We will be developing further API services to enable integration between the Catalogue and other internal systems.

Essential skills and experience:

• Have experience with using standards-based ontologies/vocabularies, such as W3C PROV data model and Dublin Core
