Culture overview
We are Transparent
We're building an open and transparent company across the UK, full of people who are passionate about their work, who always strive to be better, who love to help others grow and who care about using digital and technology to create a better, fairer society.
We Make a Difference
We focus our efforts on building meaningful, open source services that can help improve citizens' lives. We find this type of work more challenging and more rewarding. Less short-lived, throwaway projects, more mission-critical systems and services.
We Continuously Improve
We see the importance and value in self-improvement. We have regular code dojos, show and tells, reviews and other reflective practices we aim to encourage growth. One of the biggest ways we have committed to developing our skills is Learn Tech Fridays.
We Learn
Learn Tech consists of a number of tracks, where every Friday afternoon the whole company comes together to focus on learning new or developing existing skills. This is a constantly evolving programme and we are working with our team's feedback to keep improving it going forward. We support individuals with 12 days' paid learning each year, plus an individual learning budget.
We are here to stay
We are building a lasting organisation in which our people can grow with the business. We try to think hard about how to best approach every aspect of what we do to create the most enjoyable and productive environment.
We are Inclusive
We want to foster a diverse, happy and well-supported team. D&I isn't just something we pay lip service to. The services we help build will be used by people around the country. So it’s important to us that the teams that build them reflect this diversity too. Wherever you are on your career path. Whatever your background and experience. If you’re passionate about using technology to make life better for everyone, we absolutely want to hear from you.

Tech overview
We want to positively impact the future of the country
by using technology to improve society, for everyone.
We work with public sector organisations to modernise technology and working practices, and accelerate digital delivery so that citizens can benefit from better public services.
We're transparent about what we do and how we do it, which is why we publish everything about us here: https://github.com/madetech/handbook
We grow a team of polyglot programmers, comfortable using several programming languages. Our teams can work across a variety of technologies and you will need to be comfortable doing so too.
Our teams have used Ruby with Rails and Sinatra, ES6 with React and Angular, C# with .NET Core, Java with Spring, Python with Django, and plenty more stacks.
We don’t limit ourselves as a company to particular technologies and we expect all our engineers to be keen on learning new skills.
You will need to be comfortable sharing your knowledge and skills with others.
We’d love to hear some examples of mentoring, coaching and growing team members. Maybe you will have written some blog posts about your discipline, or perhaps even delivered a talk or two.
High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to deliver changes all the way through to production. To do this we combine our extensive cloud automation knowledge with DevOps culture.
We've been using AWS from the start and as Advanced Partners are go to experts within the public sector. We use a range of IaaS, PaaS and FaaS depending on the needs of our users, in this case software teams, such as EC2, Lambda, ECS, Kubernetes, Heroku, CloudFoundry, Azure App Services, and more.
We use VPC and PrivateLink for connecting to on-premise, legacy systems. We also use API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, SES, RDS, and many other services provided by AWS. You will have the opportunity to use and learn these technologies and we offer official AWS and other cloud training.
We ensure we document our architecture and infrastructure as code, using technologies such as Terraform and OpenAPI. Containerisation is a big part of empowering our teams to develop, deploy and scale their applications, but so too is using AWS Lambda and avoiding the complexity of stateful services altogether.
Right tool for the job.
For us, DevOps is about culture rather than roles and titles. Even though this role is for someone with strong DevOps experience, the biggest impact you will have is coaching and helping teams use the platforms you build. You won't be building infrastructure in isolation or charged with deploying other peoples work into production.
You'll empower teams with the mantra: you build it, you run it!
