Join a team with a purpose
We empower public sector organisations to deliver award-winning services for citizens and we need passionate people to help us.
Our purpose
We want to positively impact the future of the country by using technology to improve society, for everyone.
We are already working with brilliant public servants to modernise technology and accelerate digital delivery. But we know we can do more to help those who share our vision.
Our values guide what we do
As a purpose-driven organisation, we believe how we operate matters and we’re looking for people who share our values.
Client focused
We succeed if we are a trustworthy partner to the public sector. Through empathy, flexibility and pragmatism we build strong and lasting relationships.
Drive to deliver
We strive for successful outcomes by working hard to keep our commitments and rapidly delivering software that improves the lives of citizens.
Learning & mentoring
We are passionate about learning and growth, whether that’s continuously improving one’s self, the team or the organisation as a whole
Our vision
We want to empower the public sector to deliver and continuously improve digital services that are user-centric, data-driven and freed from legacy technology.
To achieve this, we help them to modernise working practices, accelerate digital delivery, drive better decisions through data and enable technology and delivery skills.
Our missions
We empower public sector organisations by helping them to become digitally native.
Modernise - legacy technology and working practices
Accelerate - digital service and technology delivery
Drive - better decisions through data and automation
Enable - technology and delivery skills to build better systems
We care about diversity and inclusion.
Creating a better, fairer society is part of our purpose as an organisation. This starts with our people. We strive to make Made Tech an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace and to provide a working environment that is free from discrimination.

Digital accessibility, with Jonathan Hassell
How do you maximise digital accessibility, and how might your software be inaccessible? Clare Sudbery talks to Jonathan Hassell about considering and balancing the diverse needs of all digital users.
Jonathan Hassell provides strategic accessibility transformation services to organisations worldwide. He has just delivered the new international accessibility standard ISO 30071-1.

Diversity at Made Tech in 2021
We want to foster a diverse, happy and well-supported team. Last September, we asked everyone in Made Tech to complete a diversity and inclusion survey. It was a chance to see how well we’re actually doing in achieving that goal.
Announcing a new Made Tech academy for design and user research
Applications for next Made Tech Academy open 7 February. I’m super-excited to share that we’re running a brand new academy for design and user research. This will run for 12 weeks alongside our usual software engineering academy.
Made Tech Team Interview: Rich Worrall, Client Principal
This month we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Client Principal Rich Worrall to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing.
Eureka! My journey of discovery in becoming a business analyst at Made Tech
Eureka comes from the Ancient Greek word εὕρηκα (heúrēka), which means “I have found (it)”. It’s often used within mathematics as an exclamation of discovery. This is where my journey begins: at Reading University where I studied mathematics.
Why now is a great time to choose a career at Made Tech
If you work in technology in the UK, you know that there’s an extremely competitive jobs market out there. And as we head into 2022, the uncertainty surrounding omicron looks set to continue. The challenges ahead of everyone working in public sector technology are pretty significant, not least because there’s still so much work to be done.
Our Remote Working Policy
In the office. On site. On Slack. Often remote, always together.
We embrace remote working
We were working remotely long before it became fashionable (or essential). Our main focus is helping you to meet your potential and we want everyone to feel free to work where they’re happiest. We only ask that you’re able to come into one of our offices occasionally – when it’s safe to do so.
We work from anywhere in the UK
We have bases in London, Manchester, Bristol and Swansea. And we’ll be opening offices in Scotland and the North East in 2022. Wherever you are in the UK, we want to hear from you.
We’re super-flexible
We embrace flexible working as much as we possibly can. We offer flexible holidays, so you can take as much as you need, and flexible parents leave. And, as far as possible, we offer flexible working days and hours so you can work when it suits you best.
