In this role, you will help lead a technical team across software engineering, platform engineering, integration and operations. You will work closely with Product Owners, Solution Architects, Designers, Engineering teams and wider business stakeholders to turn requirements into secure, performant and maintainable digital solutions.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Improving code quality
- Supporting troubleshooting and defect resolution
- Shaping reusable components
- Contributing to engineering standards and technical documentation
This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the detail while also supporting others to deliver at their best. You will bring:
- Experience leading or supporting a development team
- A strong understanding of agile delivery and engineering practices
- The ability to collaborate confidently across technical and non-technical teams
A structured approach to problem solving, strong communication skills and a focus on quality, security, performance and customer outcomes will be key.
Experience in automotive, manufacturing, retail or enterprise digital environments would be beneficial, as would exposure to cloud technologies, APIs, integrations, enterprise platforms or large-scale transformation programmes. Line management experience would also be helpful, although what matters most is your ability to lead with clarity, accountability and a collaborative mindset.
In return, you will have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in the digital transformation of one of the world’s most iconic luxury automotive brands. You will join a team where engineering excellence, continuous improvement and thoughtful problem solving genuinely matter — and where your work will help shape digital solutions that support Aston Martin’s commercial future.
