This is a fantastic opportunity to join DWP Engineering as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer and to create innovative digital solutions that make a difference to the lives of our 22 million users. We’re driving the adoption of Public Cloud services in line with Government Digital Service (GDS) and DWP’s own strategic hosting architectural principles.
The strategy for our engineers is to implement a ‘Digital by Default’ approach. We will do this by providing an end-to-end ‘multi-cloud’ hosted service for our Product Development Units. We’ll be providing a securely connected hosting service which removes DWP’s reliance on traditional hosting solutions and contracts.
To ensure our success, we are standardising, simplifying and automating, together with developing processes, training and tools to accelerate our delivery.
