Summary

Looking to kick-start or redirect your tech career?

At WithYouWithMe we hire for potential, not pedigree. For this cohort we’re seeking people with ~1–2 years’ experience in a software environment (commercial, research, placement or internal tools) who want to grow as Python engineers. If you’re curious, coachable and love solving problems—we’d love to meet you.

What’s the role?

Full-time, salaried role on complex, meaningful projects in Bristol.
You’ll start with structured Python training and then join a live engineering team where you’ll keep learning on the job.

After onboarding you’ll:

Build and maintain backend services & APIs

Automate data/ops tasks and integrations

Write reliable tests and documentation; take part in code reviews

Contribute to secure, well-engineered systems in a defence-aligned setting

What we’re looking for (1–2 years in a software setting)

Hands-on Python (projects, scripts, apps or lab work)

Comfort with Git, command line, and basic testing

Problem-solver who enjoys learning and collaborating in a team

Great backgrounds might include: hobbyist Python devs (Raspberry Pi/bots), analysts or engineers using pandas/numpy, QA/Support/IT folks who script in Python, DevOps juniors with API/CI exposure, research assistants who coded experiments or pipelines.

You don’t need

A CS degree or long commercial history

A perfect CV—show us what you’ve built and how you think

Security & eligibility

Due to the nature of the work, UK Government Security Clearance will be required. This typically involves UK citizenship and 5 years of checkable residency (role-specific requirements apply). We’ll guide you through vetting.

What you’ll get

Structured Python training (provided by WYWM)

£35,000 salary

Real-world experience in a defence-aligned environment

Ongoing mentoring, certification support and a clear growth path
