Hi NWRUG! I'm Charles, a data architect at the Data Standards Authority, which is part of the Central Digital and Data Office in the Cabinet Office (yes, we use a lot of acronyms). The DSA was set up to improve data use and sharing across government, and I lead our API offering, which is a team focused on improving API use - production, consumption and management - across government and the public sector. This involves quite a few different strands of work, but most relevantly we're trying to turn the fledgling Government API Catalogue (https://api.gov.uk) into a real discovery layer for APIs across the public sector, to drive innovation and better services for citizens.
We're looking for developers to join us and help turn the prototype we've built into a real product - first up is a Senior Developer role (https://gdscareers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-GB/mobile-0/appcentre-1/brand-4/xf-be4d809387f3/candidate/so/pm/1/pl/4/opp/313-Senior-Developer/en-GB) - we're looking ideally for a full stack developer with good Ruby experience who's comfortable contributing to architectural and design decisions. Salary up to £80k, depending on the usual things, but check the ad for more details. You'd be based out of one of the Cabinet Office hubs in Manchester, Bristol or London - it looks like it's going to be a hybrid approach going forward, with probably 2 days in the office per week and the rest remote, but obviously that situation is fluid at the moment (I haven't been to the office for a year...). You'd be joining a small but dedicated mulitdisciplinary team that's committed to agile working, and there would be the opportunity to have an outsized impact across the wider CDDO, because there aren't many of us techies there! Two more vacancies for mid-level developers will follow in the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to reach out for more details, happy to have a chat in advance if you've got any questions. And bear in mind that these are Civil Service roles, so unfortunately we can't take applications from agencies. Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!
