Public Sector Resourcing • Contract • United Kingdom • 1d ago

Please be aware that this role can only be worked within the UK and not Overseas.

On behalf of DWP we are looking for a Java Developer for a 12 month (Inside IR35) contract. Hybrid working with 2-3 days per week required in either Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham or Newcastle.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for welfare, pensions, and child maintenance policy. As the UK’s biggest public service department, it administers the State Pension and a range of working age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers. As such, we operate on a scale that is almost unmatched anywhere in Europe and most people in Britain come into contact with us at some point in their lives.

Working with DWP, you will be helping us to drive our priorities to:

Help people to move into work and support those already in work to progress, with the aim of increasing overall workforce participation
Help people to plan and save for later life, while providing a safety net for those who need it now
Provide effective, efficient, and innovative services to the millions of claimants who rely on us every day, including the most vulnerable in society
Improve experience of our services while maximising value for money for the taxpayer.

We are looking for an outstanding Java Developer, who can make a positive impact, and wants to contribute to the most demanding and exciting new digital service for the UK Government. Let’s be clear about the impact of your work - better digital services in government will change the face of public services and have the potential to dramatically and positively transform the future of millions of people.

We are looking for outstanding skills and you must be ready to quickly get to work within an Agile, multidisciplinary team of Developers, Designers, and Analysts focused on the Department for Work and Pensions’ flagship welfare reform programme.

Day-to-day you will be an integral part of that team in designing, creating and improving new and existing products, platforms and transactions across government.

(Please note, due to the exceptional requirements of this position (short-term nature of this role and speed at which we require a postholder in situ) preference may be given to candidates who meet all of the essential criteria and hold active security clearance.)
Recent experience with Java 17 (or later).
Excellent understanding of TDD and BDD.
Experience with large microservice architectures.
Experience of working in an Agile environment.
Have experience in implementing APIs for internal and external use.

Experience of MongoDB or other document databases.
Experience of building and scaling high-traffic websites.
Experience of handling large data sets and scaling their handling and storage.
