DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work and make payments worth over £195bn a year to support and empower millions of people.
The scale of what we do is extraordinary, and our purpose is unique. We'd love you to join us.
What skills, knowledge and experience will you need?
- Strong experience of leading teams and departments in the design, implementation, administration and support of container related infrastructure solutions and services.
- Significant demonstrable expertise in container build and runtime environments, Kubernetes administration and associated technologies e.g. Flux, Argo CD, Helm
- Demonstrated experience in implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab or equivalent.
- Strong track record of writing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code.
- Expert detailed working knowledge of developing and supporting cloud-based applications (Cloud Infrastructure Engineering).
You and your role
As a Lead Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at DWP Digital, your day will revolve around designing, building and running the cloud platforms that support some of the UK's most critical public services.
You'll be working hands on with container platforms, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native services, making sure our systems are secure, scalable and reliable.
You'll spend time collaborating with other technical teams, helping application developers get the most out of our shared cloud infrastructure. You'll be deep into Kubernetes, managing clusters and automating deployments with tools like Helm, Flux and ArgoCD. You'll also be embedding security into everything you build, thinking ahead to mitigate risks before they become issues.
Part of your role will involve supporting live services, investigating and resolving issues and making sure our platforms stay healthy and performant. You'll lead by example, mentoring junior engineers and helping shape the technical direction of the team.
