As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll help build reliable, customer-focused technology that supports millions of people on their net zero journey and powers the future of energy.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work at the heart of our product teams – designing, building, and improving software that helps customers access low-carbon energy solutions. You'll play a key role in shaping secure, scalable services that help drive our transition towards An Electric Britain.
Our software development team is the engine of our business – and it's growing fast. Whether you're a Senior Full-stack Software Engineer, or a Front-end, Back-End, or somewhere-in-between Senior Software Developer, EDF is a home for creative innovators, free-thinkers, and #ConsultantsWhoCode.
You'll join us on a salary starting at circa £75,000 per annum, depending on experience. This role supports predominantly home-based working, with flexibility to work remotely most of the time. There will be occasional travel to one of our offices in London, Hove, or Exeter, typically once or twice per quarter, or more frequently if preferred.
You'll get hands-on experience across the software lifecycle, from discovery through to deployment. With opportunities to mentor colleagues, explore new tools, contribute to engineering standards, and help shape technical direction, you'll continue to grow your expertise while delivering digital services that matter to our customers.
Across smart meters, heating, and electric vehicles, EDF's Customers business is helping to shape a smarter, energy-saving future. We're proud to be a Sunday Times Best Places to Work Top 10 Very Big Organisation for two years running and a Highly Commended workplace for disabled employees.
