DWP. Digital with Purpose.

We need software engineers with skills in COBOL.

As a COBOL Software Engineer, you’ll join one of DWP Digital’s specialist engineering teams responsible for maintaining, modernising and transforming the core platforms that keep vital payments flowing to over 15 million people every year.

These systems - built using Microfocus COBOL - are at the heart of DWP’s operational stability, and your work will directly impact the availability, accuracy and resilience of services relied upon by millions.

This is a hands-on engineering role with real leadership impact. You’ll guide and develop a team of 5 engineers, drive technical direction across multiple applications and lead the modernisation of some of the most significant legacy services in government.

Over time, you’ll play a role in helping DWP transition these core systems into Java-based services, giving you continued exposure to new and emerging technologies.

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?

  • Strong, hands-on experience working with Microfocus COBOL, especially building or maintaining large-scale systems.
  • Awareness of additional technologies such as Tuxedo, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and scripting languages.
  • Understanding of tools or languages like Python, Java, Ansible, Jira, and cloud platforms such as AWS.

You and your role

As a COBOL Software Engineer, you’ll be central to maintaining and modernising the platforms that deliver over £150bn in payments every year. These services are some of the largest and most important in the UK, and you’ll be responsible for ensuring they remain stable, secure and resilient.

You’ll work within our delivery teams, helping to lead refactoring work across some of our major COBOL applications, modernising how they operate today and preparing them for the strategic technology shift DWP is undertaking over the next decade.

This role has a strong leadership and development focus. You’ll coach and mentor junior engineers, support those progressing through our Engineering Academy, and help grow the next generation of specialist COBOL talent. You’ll also provide 3rd-line support when needed, resolving complex technical issues that require deep system understanding.

We can promise challenge and variety. One day you might be leading technical improvements to legacy codebases; the next, planning infrastructure maintenance, resolving live service challenges, or influencing how we deliver future modernisation programmes.

If you enjoy solving complex engineering problems and developing the next generation of engineering talent, then this is an opportunity to make a real impact and leave a long-lasting legacy on the future of public services.

Details. Wages. Perks.

Location: You’ll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in Birmingham, Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle or Sheffield, 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 pay up to £59,813. That’s £46,547 salary plus a Digital Allowance of up to £13,266 subject to our assessment of your capability at interview

Pension: You’ll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth 28.97%, worth up to £13,485 per year.

Holidays: A generous leave package starting at 24 days and rising to 26 days after one year.

You can also take up to 3 extra days off a month on flexi-time. You’ll also get all the usual public holidays.

Manchester (Hybrid - 2 days in office)

We’re partnering with a growing SaaS business that sits at the intersection of data, technology and commercial decision-making. They’re looking for a Senior Insight Analyst to play a critical role in ensuring the data they deliver to clients is credible, validated, and genuinely driving value.

This isn’t a reporting role, or a standard BI dashboard role nor just marketing analytics. It’s more about data feasibility, data validation, commercial support, value assurance and proving ROI to stakeholders.

It’s a high-visibility, commercially aligned analytical position where you’ll act as the bridge between data reality and commercial ambition.

The Opportunity

You’ll sit within Client Operations but work cross-functionally with:

  • Account Management
  • Customer Success
  • Data Analysts
  • Data Engineers
  • Product & Engineering

You’ll be involved in pre-sales conversations, renewal discussions and ongoing delivery ensuring that what is promised is grounded in what the data can genuinely support.

You’ll also play a key role in reviewing, validating and triaging data issues helping determine whether anomalies are genuine problems, edge cases, or configuration misunderstandings before engineering resource is deployed.

This role is about data confidence, commercial clarity, and long-term client value.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting pre-sales and early-stage client discussions with data-backed insight
  • Validating feasibility, coverage, structure and limitations of datasets
  • Ensuring commercial commitments align with technical capability
  • Acting as an analytical escalation point for data related queries
  • Reviewing and triaging data issues, providing structured context to engineering teams
  • Validating fixes and releases to ensure data integrity post-deployment
  • Translating technical complexity into clear, commercially grounded guidance

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience in a SaaS environment
  • Good SQL skills with confidence interrogating production datasets
  • Experience working with behavioural, event-level or product data
  • Comfortable supporting client-facing conversations (without being sales driven)
  • Strong stakeholder management across technical and non technical teams
  • Clear, confident communicator who can translate complexity into practical advice
  • Commercial awareness and sound judgement

You’ll likely be a Senior Insight Analyst, BI Analyst or Analytics Specialist who enjoys operating at the intersection of data, product and client value rather than sitting purely in internal reporting.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to join a growing tech house - for further details and to apply please send your CV to jon.brass @ Circlerecruitment.com
