Graduate Software Engineering Programme

We’re looking for curious, driven graduates who are excited to kick-start their career in tech and make a real impact from day one.

You’ll become part of a high-performing team delivering solutions for one of the UK’s largest public sector organisations - giving you the chance to work on meaningful projects that truly matter. Along the way, you’ll learn from experienced professionals, build in-demand technical skills, and gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies.

As part of this journey, you’ll join one of our specialist tracks aligned to your interests:

• Data Engineer: turn data into powerful insights, working with modern analytics tools and cloud platforms to drive smarter, data-led decisions.
• Software Engineer: bring ideas to life by building scalable, user-focused applications using modern frameworks and full-stack technologies.
• Platform Engineer: develop and maintain secure, scalable cloud platforms and infrastructure using modern Dev Ops practices and platform technologies.

This is more than just your first job - it’s a chance to grow, innovate, and shape the future of digital solutions, all while accelerating your career in a supportive and dynamic environment.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including:
Identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

This role is based in either Telford or Hove, and you’ll typically be in the office up to 3 days a week, so you’ll need to be within commuting distance of your chosen location. The nature of this role requires you to work on a secure site, if this isn't a suitable location for you, we encourage you to explore our other graduate opportunities with Capgemini, which are available at various locations across the UK.

Please also note that the Software Engineer and Platform Engineer pathways are only available at our Telford office, and the Data Engineer pathway is only available at our Hove office.

To be eligible for this programme, you must have obtained, or be studying towards, a minimum 2:2 degree. If you are currently studying, you must have completed your degree prior to proposed start date. We recognise that mitigating circumstances can have an impact on academic performance.
