The Role
We’re recruiting for Senior Python Developers here at Justice Digital, to be part of our warm and collaborative CTO team.
This role aligns against the Senior Developer role from the Government Digital and Data Framework
The Chief Technology Office drives a flexible and forward-looking strategy that empowers people through innovative and secure technologies, enabling excellent justice services for all.
You’ll be confident working with other developers on our tech stack and comfortable learning new technologies and systems. We use a variety of different technologies and will work with you to place you in a team that matches your skills, interests and aspirations wherever possible.
The role will be part of a multi-disciplinary team working on the department's Data Platform Services, which are about to enter an exciting period of transformation. Building on the success of the department's Analytical Platform and data catalogue services, we are aiming to develop a new service that will provide MoJ staff with the best data platform in government, providing its users with the tools they need to explore, analyse, visualise, and share data securely.
You will work with user researchers, product managers, designers, delivery managers, technical architects and content specialists who share a vision for improving government through smarter use of technology.

Our Tech Stack
We use a range of technologies and we’re looking for people who specialise in one or more of them (Ruby, Java or Python) and who love learning new languages and frameworks.
For example, we might use Python to write our application code, Circle CI or GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Sentry for application monitoring, Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services (read about our Cloud Platform), AWS for most of our infrastructure, GOV.UK Design System for our web interfaces and use Macbook Pros.
For front-end development, we value a robust understanding of the underlying web technologies. We value well-maintained, open-source tools that can be used to produce semantic HTML, performant CSS and unobtrusive JavaScript or TypeScript, and we assess all our services against accessibility criteria.
We’re happy to help you learn our tech stack once you’re part of our team, and do not require an exact match in your experience of languages. Check out GitHub for a closer look at the technologies we use, and a complete list of services that we build and maintain. We subscribe to the manifesto for agile software development.
Our Community
We currently have over 200+ experienced developers who make up the engineering community across the MoJ. You will coach and mentor junior colleagues and take part in informal support networks with your peers. You will be encouraged to play an active role in the engineering community and culture.
We take the responsibility of supportive and effective line management very seriously. We will value the skills you bring to the civil service and help you to build on them. When the time is right we will support moving between teams or government departments to learn different technologies, or take on more responsibility, according to your career goals.
Take a look at our developer blog and Justice Digital blog to get a sense of our work and culture.
