What our people say
Coming to the government to solve one of its big challenges is a significant experience and investment for the future. You’ll have worked with a lot of autonomy on very well known systems that everyone uses and will use as a point of reference. Breandán Knowlton Technical Architect
At ‘MoJ’, we use skills such as penetration testing, incident response, cryptology, vulnerability research, and digital forensics to keep our systems and services secure. Part of our role is to break systems to find out how secure they really are, and how vulnerable they are to attacks. Greg Smith Security Engineer
I’ve learnt a lot at GDS, but perhaps one of the biggest lessons has been that, for me, feeling like my work has a positive impact on people, is fundamental to my work satisfaction. And, that working with talented people with a similar mindset is incredibly rewarding.
Amy Fox Delivery Manager
We all work with the user at the heart of what we do, but it’s too important not to mention. Kaz Hufton Product ManagerAt DWP Digital, we’re determined to disrupt the status quo of how we design and develop digital services. We're setting the bar high by implementing agile at scale across product delivery. The emphasis is on ‘building the right thing’ rather than ‘building the thing right.
Matt Johnson Head of Software Engineering

It's all very well encouraging people to consider a digital career with DWP, but it's a complete waste of time if people such as myself apply and then never hear a dicky bird in response. #notimpressed
