Creating consistent solutions in a complex environment

At DWP Digital, you’ll work on architecture that accelerates business outcomes and drives seamless integration and economies of scale. You’ll work on cutting-edge technology standards, driving industry-leading digital projects that are transforming the UK welfare system.

Our architectural designs and road maps are helping DWP make the best use of its existing technology, and to make business critical decisions about future technology investment.

In a large and complex environment like government, our architects bring the essential structure to huge cross-team projects that impact the lives of millions of people. By blending technical and leadership skills, they keep teams focused on the shared goals that support business outcomes, provide a consistent set of solution views, and  make sure the citizen is at the heart of every decision we make. 

Our architects enable new digital services based on shared, reusable, products using consistent standards.
