A completed qualification is not essential, what matters most is a genuine interest in technology and a commitment to learning. You’ll also need to have completed a full-stack software engineering bootcamp (typically lasting six months or more), or have equivalent practical experience. This experience could come from a practical software development project, a software engineer-related role, or relevant employment, such as an industry or summer placement. \n\n The ideal candidate will be passionate about technology and thrive in collaborative environments where sharing insights and continuous learning are valued. You should be eager to engage in a structured training programme spanning 6 to 12 months, which includes formal instruction, self-directed learning, and cohort-based development. \n\n Training and development \n\n At GCHQ, we take pride in providing an inclusive and supportive working environment. As an Associate Software Engineer, you’ll receive dedicated support and training. We value and nurture talent, and we’re committed to helping you reach your full potential. \n\n We appreciate your ability to learn and adapt to new challenges, so we’ll invest in your development through your preferred learning methods– whether that’s through books, study, courses, conferences, or engaging team-supported projects. \n\n Training and career development are encouraged, with a minimum of 30% of your work time dedicated to professional growth. We actively support each individual’s pursuit of educational goals–whether that involves obtaining qualifications (such as cloud or framework-specific methodologies), advancing academic credentials like MSc or PhD degrees, or working towards recognised professional statuses such as Chartered Engineer (CEng or Engineering Technician (EngTech). \n\n You’ll be encouraged to drive and shape your personal development, with access to learning and development opportunities tailored to your role. You’ll be supported in gaining professional qualifications and certifications (e.g, Scrum Master, CISSP, AWS Certified Developer), with funding provided. \n\n Our training covers a multitude of software disciplines, including front-end design, site reliability engineering, data engineering, solutions architecture, machine learning operations, UX, Agile, and cloud engineering. \n\n Join us to hone your software skills and become an essential part of our world-class engineering team. You’ll have endless opportunities to learn and grow–whether it’s through mentoring, collaborating, or spending time with the wider tech teams. \n\n Rewards and benefits \n\n We provide a base salary of £33,750, plus an additional Concessionary Payment of £2,658 \n\n\n\n • 25 days of annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, plus 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays\n\n, • opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme\n\n, • interest-free season ticket loan\n\n, • an excellent pension scheme\n\n, • a cycle to work scheme\n\n, • on-site facilities such as a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (available at some locations)\n\n, • A STEM background in Higher Education that could include a degree, diploma, or apprenticeship.
