DWP. Digital with Purpose.
We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure 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?
You and your role
A typical day as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer in Hybrid Cloud Services means getting hands on with the tech that keeps cloud platforms running smoothly across the department. You’ll spend a lot of time working closely with Architects, SRE’s, Delivery Managers and Product Managers, bouncing ideas around and shaping cloud solutions that are stable, secure and ready to scale. Much of the work is about making sure everything we build or run lines up with the organisation’s technical standards and security expectations, so there’s always a bit of problem solving and forward planning involved.
Some days you’re deep in designing or delivering new cloud services; other days you’re looking after the platforms already in place - tuning performance, improving resilience or jumping in to resolve incidents when something unexpected pops up. You’re the person the team turns to when things get complicated, offering guidance to junior engineers and helping users understand what’s going on behind the scenes.
There’s also a steady rhythm of spotting ways to make services better, putting together improvement plans and seeing them through so the cloud environment keeps evolving. It’s the kind of role where you’re both building the future and keeping the present stable, all within a huge organisation that feels a lot like an enterprise scale tech company, just one that sits right at the centre of government.
Details. Wages. Perks.
Location: You’ll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle, whichever is most convenient for you.
Hybrid Working: We work a hybrid model - you’ll spend some time working at home and some time collaborating face to face in a hub.
Pay: We offer competitive pay of up to £73,205
Pension: You’ll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth 28.97%, worth over £16,000 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:
And we have an award-winning environment and culture:
