We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our community of tech experts in DWP Digital.
We're using fresh ideas and leading-edge tech to build and maintain digital solutions that will be used by nearly every person in the UK, every day and at key moments in their lives.
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?
- Full-Stack Development Expertise: Proficiency in multiple programming languages such as Java, Node.js, and Python, with experience across the entire technical stack including frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Cloud and DevOps Proficiency: Strong knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, and hands-on experience with cloud-native tools such as Kubernetes, AWS Lambda, and Terraform, alongside best practices in CI/CD and automated testing.
- Leadership and Mentoring: Proven ability to lead engineering teams, drive technical strategy, and mentor junior developers to foster a culture of continuous learning and high performance.
Delivery. Work. Projects.
You'll be a senior member of the Digital Modernisation and Efficiency team, shaping digital services used by millions of people.
You'll mentor junior engineers, promote best practices like CI/CD and automated testing, and ensure systems are secure, resilient, and accessible. You'll need to collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that really work for the people that use them.
You'll also be hands on when you need to be, coding and solving problems.
You'll be part of a dynamic, agile working environment with a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional development.
Our engineers are encouraged to innovate and contribute as part of a supportive community of practice. We have flexible working arrangements and opportunities for career progression, whatever that means to you.

Pay: We offer competitive pay of up to £78,517.
Pension: You'll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth 28.97%, worth up to £19,758 per year.
Holidays: A generous leave package starting at 26 days rising to 31 days over time.
You can also take up to 3 extra days off a month on flexi-time. You'll also get all the usual public holidays.
We have a broad benefits package built around your work-life balance which includes:
- An award-winning environment and culture: Employer of the Year 2023 (Women In IT Awards), Founders Award for Outstanding Digital Leadership 2023 (Digital 100)
- Flexible working including flexible hours and flex-friendly policies
