DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work and make payments worth over £195bn a year to support some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
DWP Digital creates digital services that almost everyone in the UK relies on at some point in their lives. We’re carrying out a once-in-a-generation digital transformation - a task of size and scale unmatched elsewhere.

You’ll be part of the DataWorks team that delivers proactive, innovative, and insightful data products via Agile ways of working.
DataWorks is an AWS platform that provides Universal Credit data to data scientists and analysts for reporting and statistical purposes. The team is currently working on two key remits that involve technically standardising the platform to be DWP digitally compliant and provide users with the data they need to evaluate the Universal Credit service’s performance.
You’ll play a vital role in code development activities for the delivery of data transformation products, ensuring that appropriate data quality, integrity and alerting is built into all solutions. Integrating a variety of source data, you’ll use sound judgement and available guidance to understand the best approach. This will involve conducting proof of concept and discovery work and evaluating proposed changes that might impact data performance, models, or reports.
You will also coach and mentor more junior colleagues, helping to build data engineering knowledge and capability within the team.
