We are looking for a Network Operations Engineer to join our community of tech experts in DWP Digital. You're an important part of an organisation that serves millions of people across the UK, with large-scale digital solutions, data and services that support work and payments for the public.
Lead Criteria – Infrastructure as Code, continuous delivery pipelines, automation design, working collaboratively using an object‑oriented programming language (such as Python) and shared Git repositories.
