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.

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.
