Technology at UW

For our customers and partners, UW just needs to work; There when you need it, and invisible when you don’t – just like flicking a switch. Our proposition is simple to our customers but for our technology teams, the behind-the-scenes complexity is what makes it so interesting. Learn more about life in our Tech teams here.

We work in small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products. We use the best tool for the job and constantly look for better.

We put people first. It’s all about you…

At UW, we prioritise not just what we deliver, but how and with whom we work. Our passion lies in tackling complex challenges alongside bright minds, recognising that true fulfilment comes from overcoming obstacles. By maintaining lightweight processes and fostering autonomy, we ensure swift delivery without compromising quality. Leadership at UW isn’t about lofty ideals but about getting hands dirty, providing guidance, and fostering a culture of support. We champion experimentation, shun egos, and value open discourse, collaboration, and continual learning.

We are looking for someone who will be responsible for the ongoing deployment, maintenance, and support of our Windows VMware and storage infrastructure.
