Imagine getting to use the latest technology in AWS and doing that across a wide range of business applications and digital services, serving some of the most vulnerable people in society. You’ll be joining an organisation where we share a building with the residents we’re serving as we look to follow industry best practices such as infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD.

Following a serious cyber attack in October 2020, all of Hackney Council’s applications are now managed in the cloud and our primary cloud provider is AWS. Following the immediate response to the attack, we’re developing our in-house cloud skills and expertise. You’ll be joining an established team which has drawn together developers, infrastructure engineers and apprentices under the leadership of experts from the award-winning provider Digi2al to help us transition to a permanent function.
