Job summary:

The Government Digital Service is part of the Cabinet Office. We work at the very centre of government to make user-focused digital transformation happen.

We build and maintain common platforms, products and tools for others to use and create great public services that are accessible, inclusive and easy to use.

We also work with departments to identify patterns, share learning and create change to make government more efficient.

Our teams are organised around delivering on our priorities, which are to:

  • make it easier for people to find what they are looking for on GOV.UK
- build common service platforms to make it simpler and cheaper to build quality digital services
- promote agile, user-centred design practices both in the UK and across the world


Effective identity assurance is central to digital transformation and GOV.UK One Login enables you to prove who they are online, with the necessary level of confidence to access and use particular services.

Our technology stack runs on AWS, using serverless compute and storage products. Backend services are written in and JVM technologies.


GOV.UK One Login represents a once in a career opportunity to work on a software product that will be used by the majority of the people living in the UK.

It's a dynamic and challenging environment that will offer you career satisfaction as well as a chance to develop and enhance your skills.

There are two apps with identical functionality for iOS and Android.

The One Login Identity Checking app has been live since August 2022 on iOS, and since November 2022 on Android.

The app has been downloaded 4.4m times and there are currently around 330k app journeys per month, although that number will increase as more government services are onboarded to One Login.


The GOV.UK One Login programme is in the process of adding functionality to enable the user to complete the entire One Login account creation/sign-in and identity proving journey in the app and to allow the user to maintain a persisted logged in status.

This functionality is a key enabler in extending functionality further to create a more personalised user experience through a new, strategic 'GOV.UK' app that will include the existing One Login Identity Checking functionality.


If this sounds like the next role for you on your career journey then we'd love to hear from you.
