Social Security Scotland, an executive agency of the Scottish Government, is undertaking the largest and most complex IT and digital change programme since devolution. With a lifetime budget of over £300m, we are delivering a social security system that will support Scotland for decades to come.
This role sits within the Chief Digital Office’s (CDO) Software Engineering team, which builds and maintains software services for Social Security Scotland.

Our technical staff are largely deployed in Agile teams focussing on new benefits development, live service support and continuous improvement.
We believe in supporting our team members' growth and development through their work – the successful candidate will have access to formal training courses and team learning projects to enhance their technical and non-technical skills.
We also aim to develop a positive and inclusive culture within Social Security Scotland by embedding a working environment where we all treat each other with dignity, fairness and respect.
