The Civil Service has opened applications for a software developer – ICT specialist.
Candidates recruited from this competition will be directly involved in delivering on a range of government strategies within their appointed organisations. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a larger team delivering on the ambitions of Ireland to be a digital leader and enabling digital engagement with the State by businesses, members of the public and public servants.
While it will depend on each organisation, a software developer – ICT specialist will write, test, debug and maintain applications needed to support the effective operation of your organisation. Depending on the organisation, you may be using any of a range of different development languages or frameworks. They will be expected to grow their knowledge and skills in popular programming languages and architectures that are used to deliver most modern digital solutions systems.
They can also be involved with critical projects of national importance and public prominence such as systems for the Revenue Commissioners, social welfare supports, the agri-food sector, the gov.ie information portal and key life events such as driving licences and employment permits.
Candidates who were successful in recent competitions are integral members of teams that are delivering digital and ICT solutions used by colleagues in their organisations and, in many cases, by members of the public.
The Civil Service employs more than 50,000 people nationwide across the 18 government departments and more than 20 other Civil Service offices and agencies. Its vision is inclusive, high quality and integrated service provision that meets the needs and improves the lives of the people of Ireland.
Closing date: 3pm on Thursday, 20 November 2025.
