You're not just looking for your first graduate role - you're looking for a place where you can learn, grow and make a difference. Millions of people rely on BT every day to help them live their lives, power their businesses, and keep their public services running. We connect friends to family, clients to colleagues, people to possibilities. We keep the wheels of business spinning, and the emergency services responding.

And we use the power of technology to help solve big challenges, like climate change and cyber security.

From day one, you  have a voice at BT Group. You  get stuck in to tough challenges, pitch in with ideas, make things happen and you won  be alone: working on real projects, you  learn from experienced colleagues and develop practical software engineering skills in a supportive team environment. You  make great friends, discover new talents, build confidence and feel part of something exhilarating.

Our Digital Platforms teams build and run the software systems that keep BT operating smoothly every day. These systems underpin how commercial contracts are created, managed and used across the business. As a Software Engineering Graduate, you  help design, configure and improve these platforms - turning ideas and business needs into reliable, scalable and user friendly software solutions. You  work with modern technologies, learn from experienced engineers and contribute to projects that make a real difference for our customers and our people.

Our Digital Platforms and the teams behind them are a central part of BT  success. By combining technical and commercial expertise with a passion for great customer experience, we develop innovative solutions that help BT stand out. This role gives you the chance to be part of shaping technology that improves people  lives in meaningful and accessible ways.

BT is transforming how we manage commercial contracts by replacing manual, fragmented processes with a modern, cloud based Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform. To support this, BT Digital is creating a Contract Lifecycle Management Centre of Excellence (CoE), taking a software engineering led approach to redesigning contract processes using a cutting edge SaaS CLM tool, automation and advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities.

Our ambition is to build intelligent contract systems that provide deeper insights and enable faster, smarter commercial decisions.

In this role, you  play a key part in shaping those systems. You  help design and configure digital workflows, user interfaces and business rules within the platform, turning commercial and legal requirements into practical, scalable software solutions. You  also support API integrations between the CLM platform and other BT systems, ensuring data flows smoothly across our technology landscape.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Work with colleagues across the CLM program to design and develop configuration solutions within the SaaS CLM platform (e.g., workflow definitions, user interfaces, and rule sets).
• Be part of a team responsible for translating complex legal and commercial requirements into accurate and robust platform logic and document generation templates.
• Configure and optimise the platform s AI/ML features for accurate data extraction, obligation management, and auto-redlining/playbook enforcement.
• Be part of a team responsible for the development of integration tooling and API orchestration that ensures seamless, reliable data synchronisation between the CLM platform and core enterprise systems (e.g., CRM, ERP).
• Design and execute comprehensive testing strategies for all configurations to ensure high reliability and compliance before deployment.
• Ensure configurations are modular, scalable, and maintain good platform governance and change management practices.
• Produce clear technical documentation for the configurations, customisations, and deployment pipelines we develop.
• Support our agile methods and ambition to continually improve our CLM capabilities with enthusiasm.
• Contributing to our culture and team s wellbeing.

• SaaS Platform Configuration & Low-Code Development.
• Experience designing or supporting API-based integrations, using RESTful services, webhooks, or middleware to connect systems reliably.
• AI/ML Application in Real-World Scenarios - Understanding of how to apply AI/ML tools (e.g., data extraction, NLP, classification) to improve business processes and automate decision-making.
• Dev Ops & Automation Practices - Working knowledge of Git-based workflows, CI/CD concepts, Infrastructure as Code, or containerisation principles useful for modern software engineering environments.
• Technical Problem-Solving & Analytical Thinking - Ability to break down complex technical/operational…
