Junior Software Engineer

Job Description

Are you at the start of your engineering journey and ready to grow in a role that blends hands-on development, quality engineering, and real-world product delivery?

We’re hiring a Junior Engineer on behalf of a modern, mission-led organisation delivering impactful digital products at scale. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to gain structured mentorship, build real-world experience across multiple engineering disciplines, and make a meaningful contribution from day one.

What’s in it for you:

• A blended role across software development and quality engineering

• Support from experienced mentors in both software and QA

• Opportunities to specialise in the future based on your interests and aptitude

• Access to structured training, 1:1 coaching, and a collaborative delivery team ("tribe")

What you'll be doing:

• Writing clean, testable code in JavaScript/TypeScript

• Pairing with engineers and contributing to code reviews, testing, and deployments

• Building and maintaining automated test suites and CI/CD pipelines

• Learning cloud-based development (primarily AWS), monitoring, and observability

• Participating in agile ceremonies, contributing to feature planning and delivery

• Shadowing on-call processes, incident reviews, and performance monitoring

• Helping maintain quality and operational standards across the team

What we’re looking for:

• A solid foundation in web development fundamentals (JavaScript, HTML/CSS)

• Familiarity with version control (Git) and basic testing principles

• Curiosity about cloud, containers, APIs, CI/CD and AI-assisted tooling

• A collaborative spirit – someone eager to learn, communicate clearly, and contribute to team success

• The desire to grow into either a Software Engineer or QA Engineer path

Location & Flexibility:

• Open to candidates across the UK

   

   

  Why this role stands out:

• You're not just a “junior developer”  you're an engineer in training across the entire software lifecycle

• You’ll work on real products, delivering meaningful features from the outset

• You’ll be surrounded by a supportive team that’s serious about your growth

• You’ll develop cross-functional experience, with progression options built in

If you're looking for a role that combines structured development with practical experience, this is your chance to lay the foundation for a rewarding engineering career.
