What we are looking for
There’s no ‘type’ of person we’re looking for. If you’re enthusiastic to learn, passionate about technology and have a positive attitude to personal development, we’re keen to hear from you. You’ll also need to have (or be expecting) a 2:2 by September 2026 in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) subject.
We’d particularly encourage women and people from Black, Asian or other ethnic minority backgrounds to register their interest for these roles. We recognise these groups are currently underrepresented in our workforce. It’s vital that we create a culture where different insights, perspectives and experiences are welcomed – and where you’ll always be encouraged to contribute, shape our work and be yourself.
