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.

The scale of what we do is extraordinary, and our purpose is unique. We'd love you to join us.

- Excellent problem solving and reasoning skills.
- Flexibility and teamwork skills to support the successful delivery of services.
- Proven capability to make fair and effective decisions, clearly and concisely explaining your reasoning, both verbally and in writing.
- A proactive attitude towards learning, personal growth, and professional development through structured and self-directed learning opportunities.
- Analysis and analytical skills and the ability to understand and use technology to solve complex problems.

You and your role
Joining DWP Digital as a graduate engineer means getting stuck into real work from day one. You'll be part of a close knit team of engineers and data specialists, learning how our systems work while building and improving the tech people use every day. Alongside this, you'll be on our two year University Leavers Engineering Programme, which gives you the support and training you need to settle in, grow your skills and find the area of engineering you enjoy most, whether that's front‑end, back‑end, networks, platforms or something else entirely.
You'll spend your time learning by doing, picking up good engineering practices, and building your confidence as you go. You'll also develop the softer skills that make a big difference in your career, like teamwork, leadership and project delivery. By the end, you'll have real experience, a strong network and a clear direction for your future as an engineer.
