Introduction
Data storage is at the heart of everything we do in life. From every photo to every financial transaction, data is generated and stored somewhere in the world, be it on a customer’s own premises or in the cloud. The FlashSystem team at IBM Hursley creates resilient, high-performance and intelligent storage software that keeps business-critical systems and data available 24/7.
Our success comes down to one thing: our people. We’re hiring and looking for people with a passion to learn and contribute to the success of the FlashSystem products.
You will be joining the FlashSystem engineering team as a Graduate Software Engineer, where you will develop your software engineering and problem-solving skills while learning new technologies and working with mentors and teams within the Storage organisation. The team has commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, where different thinking styles are valued for the strength and innovation they bring to teams.
IBM FlashSystem delivers high-performance, highly-functional solutions that make hybrid cloud storage simple for every enterprise, from hospitals to data centres. For businesses to improve their levels of insight and accuracy, analytics and AI applications are consuming enormous amounts of data. Managing, moving and storing large data volumes with efficiency and performance requires a modern IT infrastructure with wide-ranging capabilities – from data reduction to enterprise-grade business continuity features such as ransomware detection/recovery and replication. The IBM FlashSystem family of data storage solutions is designed to meet all these needs while reducing costs and complexity. IBM FlashSystem combines the performance of flash and a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)-optimised architecture with the IBM FlashCore technology and IBM Storage Virtualize software. https://www.ibm.com/flashsystem
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
