This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while learning in a supportive engineering environment. As your knowledge, confidence and technical judgement grow, you’ll take on broader responsibilities and work with increasing independence.

Our engineering approach:

• Quality from the start
  • Testing, documentation and peer review are built into how we deliver.
• Secure by design
  • Customer and operational data is handled responsibly, with privacy, security and regulatory controls applied.
• Shared ownership
  • Engineers and delivery colleagues work together from requirements through to release and support.
• Continuous improvement
  • We identify defects, risks, recurring issues and opportunities to improve our technology.
• Continuous learning
  • Coaching, feedback, practical experience and structured learning help build long-term capability.

Technology and engineering environment

• Development and integration
• Delivery and engineering practices
• Salesforce configuration and development
• Source control and version management
• Objects, fields, relationships and security
• Automated testing
• Declarative automation, Apex and Lightning components
• CI/CD and controlled environments
• MuleSoft and API-led connectivity
• Peer review and defect investigation
• REST and SOAP services
• Release governance and deployment validation
• Data transformation, error handling and monitoring
• Agile delivery and technical documentation

You do not need to be an expert in every area. This role is designed to help you develop practical knowledge and confidence through structured learning and hands-on experience.

Essential experience

We’re interested in your potential, curiosity and willingness to learn. You’ll need:

• A genuine interest in software engineering, technology delivery, APIs, integration, Salesforce or MuleSoft.
• Some practical exposure to software development, configuration, testing, debugging or technical problem-solving. This could come from an apprenticeship, placement, internship, academic work, personal projects or an early-career role.
• The ability to follow technical guidance, established standards and defined designs.
• A structured approach to investigating problems using information such as requirements, system behaviour, logs or test results.
• Good organisation, with the ability to manage assigned tasks, maintain accurate information and communicate progress or blockers.
• A collaborative and inclusive approach, with the confidence to ask questions and learn from feedback.
• An understanding of the importance of confidentiality, secure data handling and responsible technology delivery.

Useful, but not essential

It would be helpful if you have:

• Experience of Salesforce configuration, declarative automation, Apex or Lightning components.
• An understanding of MuleSoft, APIs, REST or SOAP services, integration patterns or data transformation.
• Awareness of source control, CI/CD, automated testing, deployment processes or environment management.
• Completed practical labs, portfolio projects, Trailhead badges or other structured technology learning.
• A Salesforce or MuleSoft foundation credential, or evidence that you are working towards one.
• A degree, apprenticeship or equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related subject.
• Awareness of financial services, consumer lending, operational resilience, regulated technology delivery or risk and control frameworks.

Career development:

This role is designed to build the technical, delivery and professional capabilities needed to progress towards a Software Engineer position.

You’ll develop through structured learning, practical engineering work, coaching, peer review and relevant certification activity. As your capability grows, you’ll have opportunities to take ownership of more complex work, develop deeper technical judgement and operate with greater independence.
