About Engineering Enablement

Part of the newly formed Platform Engineering, Resilience and Cyber directorate, the Engineering Enablement programme is boosting efficiency, strengthening security, and improving developer experience by providing infrastructure, tools and standards. We've been working for some time to manage our AWS estate and establish a robust privileged access management system for our most sensitive engineering access, based on Microsoft Entra.

Two roles (one Senior, one Mid) will go to our Engineering Access team. This team is rolling out a Privileged Access Management system based on Microsoft Entra across all GDS production services. The goal is a robust system fully integrated across GDS's engineering estate, reducing TOIL and human error associated with manual access management, and ensuring engineering productivity.

The third role (Senior) will go to our Cloud Platform team. The cloud platform team currently own and operate our AWS estate, and over the next 6-9 months will take over operational responsibility for the Azure Landing zone developed as part of the Engineering Access work. Your role will be to provide Azure experience and expertise to support the team in this journey.

build CI/CD pipelines to enable the team to get code into production quickly and reliably
provide day-to-day support for our platforms and tools to ensure they remain available, secure and robust
participate in on-call rotations when necessary
solve complex and interesting problems
share your knowledge and expertise with your peers and the wider team to drive consistency and develop a culture of openness and learning

In addition to the above, as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will:

In addition to the above, as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer you will have:

experience of technical leadership, for example acting as a tech lead for a team or leading a technical initiative

If you meet a few of those criteria but think that you might not meet every last one then dont let that stop you from submitting an application.

The Department operates a discretionary hybrid working policy, which provides for a combination of working hours from your place of work and from your home in the UK.

Sponsorship

DSIT cannot offer Visa sponsorship to candidates through this campaign. DSIT holds a Visa sponsorship licence but this can only be used for certain roles and this campaign does not qualify.

Location:

Whilst this role's location is Manchester/London, if you are a current Civil servant working in DSIT and based in Bristol you are also able to apply for this role. If you are successful, you will retain your current location and pay.

Security:

Successful candidates must pass a disclosure and barring security check.

Please note that this role requires SC clearance, which would normally need 5 years UK residency in the past 5 years. This is not an absolute requirement, but supplementary checks may be needed where individuals have not lived in the UK for that period. This may mean your security clearance (and therefore your appointment) will take longer or, in some cases, not be possible.

For meaningful checks to be carried out, you will need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time, to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. Whilst a lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance, and expectation of UK residency may range from 3 to 5 years. Failure to meet the residency requirements needed for the role may result in the withdrawal of provisional jobs offers.

Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.
