Key Responsibilities

• Develop software solutions: Design, build, and maintain applications using modern programming languages, frameworks, and development practices.
• Test and assure quality: Create and run manual or automated tests to ensure software reliability, security, and user requirement fulfillment.
• Engineer cloud platforms: Design, configure, and support scalable cloud environments using technologies like AWS or Microsoft Azure.
• Build and support infrastructure: Work with operating systems, networks, virtualisation, containers, and platform services.
• Automate delivery: Apply DevOps and DevSecOps practices to enhance build, testing, deployment, and operational processes.
• Support live services: Investigate technical issues, monitor systems, and maintain application and platform performance, availability, and security.
• Work with data and emerging technology: Contribute to projects involving data engineering, artificial intelligence, automation, or other developing technologies.
• Collaborate with clients and colleagues: Work in multidisciplinary teams, communicate technical information clearly, and deliver client-focused solutions.
• Innovate alongside other graduates: Participate in early careers initiatives that contribute beyond the day-to-day role.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• A minimum 2:2 degree, typically in computer science, software engineering, information technology, computer engineering, mathematics, physics, cyber security, or another relevant STEM subject. Some positions may accept other degree subjects with demonstrated technical ability, and some may require a 2:1.
• A genuine interest in software, cloud technology, infrastructure, or supporting technical services.
• Strong analytical thinking and a practical problem-solving approach.
• Ability to work collaboratively and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Attention to detail and commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality work.
• Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to different projects and client environments.
