Youll lead by example through hands-on engineering, promoting modern development practices and supporting teams to build resilient, secure and maintainable services. Youll help guide technical decisions, ensuring solutions are practical, well-implemented and aligned with the wider architecture and strategy.

Lead Developers often work across teams and services, collaborating closely with architects, product managers and multidisciplinary teams. Youll support developers in solving complex technical problems, improving engineering practices and maintaining high standards of code quality, reliability and performance. Youll thrive using agile methods and enjoy working collaboratively across departments to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Above all, youll want to make government services better for users, continually improving the way teams build, run and evolve digital services.

As a Lead Developer, youll:

guide and improve the ways in which the team works, helping establish effective engineering practices, development workflows and collaborative approaches that enable the team to deliver high-quality software
act as a strong technical contributor within the team, maintaining proficiency across the systems, platforms and tools used to build and operate services
support the team in understanding how different parts of the system interact, helping troubleshoot complex technical issues and ensuring the team can work confidently across the broader technical landscape
work with engineers and architects to identify appropriate technologies, patterns and approaches, helping determine when new software should be written and ensuring solutions are pragmatic, maintainable and aligned with organisational standards
provide day-to-day technical leadership within the team, helping guide technical decisions and ensuring the team maintains a high standard of engineering quality
coach and mentor developers, supporting their technical growth and helping them develop strong engineering judgement and confidence in their work
encourage constructive technical discussions and ensure that ideas can be challenged respectfully, helping the team reach well-reasoned decisions
promote knowledge sharing across the team through collaboration, documentation, code reviews and technical discussions, ensuring that knowledge is not siloed with individuals
help drive the adoption of good engineering practices such as testing, code quality, observability, security and maintainability
contribute to the wider engineering and developer community within the organisation, sharing knowledge, participating in communities of practice and supporting cross-team collaboration

Recruitment Timeline

Sift completion: 10/07/2026

Tech and Panel interviews: W/C 20/07/2026

Candidates that do not pass the interview but have demonstrated an acceptable standard may be considered for similar roles at a lower grade.

The Civil Service is committed to attract, retain and invest in talent wherever it is found. To learn more please see the Civil Service People Plan and the Civil Service D&I Strategy.

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.
