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.

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.
