Job description
Join us
We’re the UK’s largest government department and we’re in the middle of a once-in-a-generation digital transformation, orchestrating tens of thousands of servers. We’re looking for talented, experienced Engineers with solid experience of DevOps to join us and add their skills to our thriving engineering community.
We know that better digital services in government will change the face of public services, with the power to make a difference to lives of 22 million citizens across the UK, and our rapidly expanding engineering community is the driving force behind the change.
About you
This is an exciting and challenging role – you will be key in designing, building, maintaining and testing software applications as part of a multi-functional product focused agile delivery team.
As a DevOps Engineer at DWP your bread and butter will include work with:
RHEL/Centos, Puppet or Ansible, AWS, Terraform, Bash and Python, Jenkins, and code and security analysis tools (like SonarQube).
The go-to for deploying and orchestrating microservices architecture, you’ll have experience deploying scalable and highly available, transactional HTTP services including APIs.
You’re passionate about DevOps, and you have spun up and looked after databases like MySQL and MongoDB, and the more you know about Docker, Kubernetes and container orchestration the better.
Our Essentials
- Extensive experience of using, operating, patching and securing Linux operating systems like RHEL
- Extensive experience of configuration management software like Puppet or Ansible and scripting languages like BASH, Perl or Python
- Extensive experience of deploying, supporting and patching public, cloud-based applications that are repeatable, scalable, resilient and highly available (including APIs and microservices)
- Extensive experience of modifying and maintaining systems and code developed by other engineers
Where you’ll work
This role will be based in our easily accessible digital hubs across the UK, where you’ll collaborate with talented developers, architects, product owners and more.
You can look forward to benefits including a very competitive salary of up to £68,777, a generous leave allowance and a great pension.
We have a fantastic, flexible package which includes loads of great perks like interest-free loans to buy a bike or a season ticket, so it’s easy for you to get to work and start making a difference.
We believe the work we do really matters, so we’re serious about investing in your ability.
You’ll have access to a huge suite of training and learning opportunities to complement the new skills and experience you’ll acquire on the job, as well as the chance to share knowledge with colleagues from across the engineering and wider digital communities and via our coaching and mentoring programmes. It’s a great network to learn from and share with.
