Description

What you’ll be doing:
We’re one of the world’s leading communications services companies. The services we sell are integral to modern life and are delivered over our networks. These networks are becoming ever increasingly dependent upon software, along with the products and services delivered over these networks. To continue innovating, we need you and your new ways of thinking to help us create amazing products for our customers. 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 is your 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. You’ll also be contributing to code reviews, refactoring and debugging code and utilising test driven development practices.

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.

About the apprenticeship you’ll be studying for:
As a Degree Apprentice Software Engineer, you’ll study for a Level 6 Digital & Technology Solutions Professional apprenticeship with Software Engineering specialism. This is an apprenticeship degree course and on successful completion, you’ll receive a degree from one of our university partners (completion is required to retain the role).

Entry Requirements:
You’ll need to achieve three A-Levels grades with grades BBC or above. You’ll also need five GCSE’s at grades 4-9 (C or above), including English Language and Maths. Equivalent qualifications are accepted.

Due to the nature of the work involved some of our Software Engineering roles (but not all) require satisfactory completion and maintenance of appropriate security clearance.
