As a valued member of our global colleague network, you’ll bring your unique skills and perspectives to help pioneer progress and protect what matters most. You’ll be trusted to play your part in delivering the advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions of tomorrow – shaping a safer future, for all of us.

Role Description
As a Front-End developer in BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, you’ll be working as part of our team to enhance and maintain cutting edge National Security products, and will be involved in building exciting new capabilities. The work will be fast paced and at times challenging, but the benefits of the work will be tangible and real. You will be exposed to new approaches, new technology, and new ideas, so a willingness to step out of your comfort zone is a must.
In BAE Systems Digital Intelligence we believe in high performing agile teams. An ability to be a team player, be self-motivated, happy taking on responsibility, and a desire for team/self improvement are key attributes for success.
Essential Requirements
- 1+ years’ experience working as a Front-End developer (although we will consider strong applicants who can evidence relevant training and a desire to work in this field).
- Experience with core Front-End technologies (eg TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, React)
- Experience with some complementary technologies (eg Python, C++ and Linux)
- Experience of working in an Agile scrum team, and the tooling that supports software development (eg Jira and BitBucket)
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.
