BT Group’s work in cyber security has an impact all over the world and for all types of business customers big and small. Our partners rely on us to keep them safe, which is where you come in.

It’s a job that involves a lot of teamwork; everyone relies on and helps each other to do the best job possible for our business customers.

  • You’ll be working with specialists in their area (such as software / infrastructure / systems engineers, data scientists, etc) to deliver high quality solutions forour customers
  • You’ll use Agile ways of working when verifying and validating the quality of everything from small proof of concepts through to national and international scale solutions
  • You’ll gain skills and knowledge in quality assurance, automation, continuous delivery/integration, test driven development, software, networks, high speed processing systems and many more.
  • You’llresearch new techniques and technologies to aid the assurance activities.

“Hi, my name is Louise, and I am a Software Engineer at BT. In 2022, I did a summer placement here at BT in which I joined a team working on the data collection and analysis of the Border Gateway Protocol. What I really appreciated from the internship is that BT considered my background as a Maths student when deciding the project I would be assigned to. The project not only allowed me to apply the knowledge I had learned through my degree, but also develop my practical skills in programming and soft skills through collaborative teamwork and presenting a summary of my work at the end of the internship. After such a positive experience with the internship, I then returned to BT in September 2023 as a Software Engineer. In this role so far, I've had the opportunity to significantly improve my programming skills, explore new concepts previously unfamiliar to me, and have consistent support along the way. I chose to come back to BT because not only does it provide a supportive and caring environment, but also offers engaging work that both challenges me and allows me to advance my skills across a multitude of areas.”

The skills & experience you’ll need

The role is also subject to you gaining and keeping the necessary level of security clearance needed to undertake your work. The result of the security clearance vetting is not subject to appeal. Failure to successfully achieve and maintain the necessary level of security clearance may see any offer of employment with BT cease or withdrawn.

We will also be looking for the following:

• A 2.2 degree or higher in a relevant STEM subject.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

• The ability to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Desired but not essential:

• Knowledge or experience of contact centre, video, collaboration, or voice technologies
