The Senior Software Developer / Ruby Specialist role is pivotal to the future success of Gov Wi-Fi, the UK's government-wide Wi-Fi authentication service.

As a highly skilled Ruby developer and technical lead, you will drive continuous improvement of Gov Wi-fi’s platform, ensuring a secure, scalable, and reliable service that meets SLA targets for millions of authentications monthly.

You will collaborate closely with SREs to maintain 100% uptime and operational resilience, lead automation efforts in certificate management, and innovate solutions for large-scale onboarding challenges, including major public sector organisations like the NHS.

In this role, you will mentor junior developers and foster a culture of agile delivery, quality code, and user-centric design. Ideal candidates have deep Ruby and Rails expertise, experience with AWS cloud deployment, CI/CD, and a proven track record in digital service resilience and security.

If you’re passionate about improving public services through technology and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of secure government Wi-Fi.

As the Senior Software Developer and Ruby Specialist on the Gov Wi-Fi team, you will take technical ownership of the mission-critical Ruby-based platform that enables secure Wi-Fi access across the UK public sector. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the development and delivery of scalable, robust Ruby on Rails applications to support service growth and operational resilience.
  • Collaborating closely with Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and product leadership to maintain 100% service uptime and meet SLAs through proactive incident management and response.
  • Designing, implementing, and automating key operational processes such as certificate rotation, deployment pipelines, and system monitoring.
  • Serving as the technical escalation point for complex incidents, working to diagnose and resolve issues swiftly to minimise service disruption.
  • Architecting and delivering solutions that support onboarding of large and complex clients, including pilot projects to enhance seamless WiFi experiences.
  • Driving improvements to disaster recovery capabilities, security remediations, and platform monitoring, ensuring high resilience and compliance with IT health check standards.
  • Mentoring and providing hands-on guidance to junior developers and cross-functional colleagues, fostering a culture of collaboration, code quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Translating the product vision and strategic goals into clear, actionable technical tasks and sprint deliverables in partnership with the Product Manager.
  • Staying abreast of emerging trends and innovations, including AI-based enhancements, to continuously evolve the platform and user experience.
  • Supporting broader service modernisation initiatives and transitions involving technology migrations and integrations with key external tools.
  • Preparing reports and briefings on technical progress, risks, and incidents for product leadership and central government stakeholders.

This role offers a unique opportunity to combine expert Ruby development skills with leadership responsibilities, influencing the future of a vital digital public service while working in a supportive, agile, and innovative environment.
