The time is right to join one of the leading agile, cloud and technical departments in the government, one that is constantly pushing the boundaries of technological innovation to find, develop, and introduce new and innovative technological advancements. On a modern cloud platform, we work with a range of industry-leading technologies, such as serverless, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Within and between our teams, we have a friendly and stable engineering community. Keeping work life enjoyable is key to us, and we strive to ensure the efficient and secure use of software and infrastructure.
Our current deliveries include:
- Two major programmes of work, modernising our drivers and vehicles services and systems.
- Entirely new services including a new customer portal, mobile digital driving licence and identity platform.
- The DVLA digital payment service that helps us collect around 6 billion pounds a year.
- New versions of key driving licence services that will help us to reduce paper forms, reduce waiting times and to enable all of our customers to transact digitally.
As part of our core business services, you will work with Java and SpringBoot alongside tools like OpenAPI. No specific Java experience is needed. All you need is a passion for building clean, maintainable, and secure applications using an object-oriented language.
If you’re working on the front-end, you’ll be developing applications and reusable components using a combination of Ruby on Rails and React. You will also have the opportunity to build and develop our external and internal UIs, so this is an exciting opportunity to deliver far reaching, intuitive and accessible front-end systems.
As part of our ongoing mission to support and develop all staff within the DVLA, you will be given a high spec Macbook and we will help you to achieve certification in areas such as AWS and Java, as well as giving you the freedom and support necessary to perform in your role and continuously develop your skill set.
Your responsibilities will include but will not be limited to:
- Working within a technical framework of the project to meet customer requirements.
- Developing Software in an agile team environment.
- Application Support.
- Working closely with business analysts and agile delivery managers to prepare and review user stories and tasks.
- Some testing responsibilities.
- Mentoring junior developers within the team.
