Software Engineer Apprentice
As a Software Engineer Apprentice at Tecknuovo, you’ll start building your career in software engineering through a combination of structured learning, hands-on experience, and support from experienced engineers.
You’ll become part of Tecknuovo’s growing Engineering practice, learning how modern digital products and services are designed, built, tested, and continuously improved. You’ll develop experience across both front-end and back-end engineering, gradually taking on more responsibility as your technical skills and confidence grow.
This is an apprentice role, so we don’t expect you to arrive knowing everything. What matters is that you have a genuine interest in software engineering, enjoy solving problems, and are motivated to learn. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers who will provide guidance, feedback, and opportunities to put your learning into practice.
Alongside your day-to-day work, you’ll complete your apprenticeship programme and have dedicated time for formal learning and development. The aim is to give you the technical foundations, practical experience, and professional skills to develop into a capable Software Engineer.
Responsibilities:
- Learn how to design, build, and maintain software across both front-end and back-end applications
- Contribute to real software development tasks
- Develop your understanding of programming languages, frameworks, and engineering tools
- Write clear, maintainable code and learn how good engineering practices
- Support the testing, debugging, and improvement of applications, learning how to identify issues, understand their causes, and develop appropriate solutions
- Work collaboratively with engineers and wider delivery teams
- Build an understanding of secure, accessible, and reliable software development
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.
