As a Developer or Senior Developer you can expect to have a central role in multidisciplinary teams building the future of government services. We are building in two main areas. Native iOS and Android applications power our identity proving service, allowing for a quick, easy and highly trusted way to prove your identity to government.

Youll join the GOV.UK One Login programme as a Mobile Developer or a Senior Mobile Developer.

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.

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.

Failure to meet the residency requirements needed for the role may result in the withdrawal of provisional jobs offers.
