About this role
Software Engineer Apprentice (Level 6 Digital & Technology Solutions Professional with Software Engineering specialism)
What you’ll be doing
We’re one of the world’s leading communications services companies. The products and services we sell are integral to modern life and are delivered on leading edge Digital platforms. These products and services and the networks they are built upon are becoming ever increasingly dependent upon software. To continue innovating, we need you and your new ways of thinking to help us create amazing products for our customers and business. We’ll teach you human centred design, and agile ways of working, to help you create new technology and software solutions for the future.
We’ll get you started right away, learning some job specific skills such as analysis and design techniques you can use to break down problems. You will use these to build effective and secure software solutions, using contemporary software development languages and modern development methodologies and practices. We’ll teach you how to produce high quality code with sound syntax in at least one language and maybe more – the sky the limit!
Day to day, you’ll work with our internal software development teams to create software solutions using industry standard build processes for our customers and business. You’ll also be contributing to code reviews, refactoring, and debugging code and utilising test-driven development practices to develop and maintain our systems and services.
You’ll learn how to deliver the very best software products, helping teams provide an effortless experience for our customers and staff wherever they are in the world, using whatever device and technology they choose.
We expect you to demonstrate that you are proactive, can take initiative and are focused on continuing to grow and develop. We believe that collaboration is key to success, and you will typically be in our amazing offices minimum three days a week.
This role is available in the Digital parts of our business.
