We're using fresh ideas and leading-edge tech to build and maintain digital solutions that will be used by nearly every person in the UK, every day and at key moments in their lives.

DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work, and make payments worth over £195bn a year to support and empower millions of people.

You and your role

As a Data Engineer at DWP, you'll be executing code across a full tech stack, including Azure, Databricks, PySpark and Pandas, helping the department to move towards a cloud computing environment, working with huge data sets as part of our DataWorks platform - a system that provides Universal Credit data to our Data Science team, helping improve our data security, integrity and cloud based technology.

Details. Wages. Perks.

Location: You'll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in Birmingham, Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and 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 competitive pay of up to £58,347.

Pension: You'll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth 28.97%, worth up to £16,862 per year.

  • An award-winning environment and culture: Employer of the Year 2023 (Women In IT Awards), Founders Award for Outstanding Digital Leadership 2023 (Digital 100)
  • Flexible working including flexible hours and flex-friendly policies
