Though I wonder how the Ministry would view wizards taking up posts in Muggledom without permission. Sounds like a prima facie breach of the Statute of Secrecy to me.

I'd beg to disagree on that. First of all because I think that most RW technology is designed to do things that the WW has either never needed to do or things that it can already do magically with much less effort and expenditure of energy. 

_Are_ there any limits to doing magically what Muggles do with technology? I'm not sure that there are. 

I think, though, that Muggleborn wizards are the means by which the WW comes into congruence with the Muggle world. Very slowly, because I also think that Muggleborns are a very small proportion of wizards in a very large population. But I'd be willing to speculate that the wizards who have worked out magical means to do things that Muggles do technically are ones who've seen the technology and thought "There must be an easier way to do this with a spell". Magical databases can't be far away! 

cheers
