Data Services for Personalised GOV.UK Channels
This role will be part of a new team at GDS, the focus specifically on developing the services that abstracts personalised data logistics for product teams, enabling them to deliver personalised features without worrying about underlying cross government data complexity.
The work is split into four main areas, data exchange between departments, a serverless platform to power the GOV.UK personalised channels, a platform to store GOV.UK personalised channel data and providing support for a new government digital mailbox. Reporting into an Engineering Manager, youll work within and support the wider engineering teams as well as collaborate with peers including Technical Architects to deliver a user-centric, highly scalable, resilient, and performant platform.
It is expected that this role will involve outreach to other government departments, so an ability to communicate to a wide set of stakeholders, along with the ability to manage many work streams concurrently is a must.
