Overview
We are seeking a driven and enthusiastic Junior Software Engineer to join our expanding Python Agile team. In this role, you will contribute to building innovative web and mobile solutions that deliver modern financial services using cutting-edge technologies and platforms. You’ll gain hands-on, real-world experience across the full software development lifecycle—from design and development through testing, documentation, and deployment. You’ll play a key role in delivering customer-facing and business-critical applications, helping turn innovative ideas into impactful solutions. We are an AI-enabled engineering organization, and developers at CPI Card Group are expected to leverage modern AI tools—such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, and other AI-assisted development platforms—to accelerate development, enhance code quality, and strengthen problem-solving capabilities.
This role is ideal for engineers who are eager to blend traditional software development with AI-assisted workflows and who want to play a part in building the next generation of intelligent, scalable financial and manufacturing solutions.
This is a permanent position. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.K. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
Responsibilities
- Develop, test, debug, and maintain both new and existing applications in line with established standards and business requirements
- Build scalable, secure, and maintainable web applications using Python and AWS services, following defined specifications
- Contribute to the creation and execution of test plans, ensuring code quality across your own work and that of the team
- Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, including design specifications and implementation details
- Collaborate closely with senior developers and cross-functional teams to deliver features on time and to a high standard
- Participate in code reviews, learning best practices, and contributing to continuous improvement of code quality
- Gain an understanding of PCI compliance and other relevant industry regulations, and apply them in day-to-day development
- Support the analysis and documentation of detailed software requirements
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.
