Bristol, United Kingdom Motability Operations Full time
About The Role

Are you an undergrad itching to boost your professional and coding skills? Motability Operations has an exciting opportunity for students to join our Software Engineering team for a year in industry.

We’re passionate about fostering collaboration, and that’s why every developer carries the same title of ‘Software Engineer’. We believe in a level playing field where your voice and ideas count, regardless of your experience level. Of course, your colleagues will be there to guide you every step of the way. Plus, you'll have regular one-on-one chats with a dedicated mentor who'll be there to offer you even more advice and support.

We’ve had plenty of success stories on our Placement Programme, with many engineers returning to us after completing their degree. One example of this is Josie, who you can see tell her story .

If you are keen to learn more about our company culture, you can read about : We Find Solutions, We Drive Change, and We Care.

The Software Engineering team is part of the Business Systems division of the company. Here, we collaborate across diverse agile product teams, consisting of Software Engineers, Quality Engineers, UX Designers, Business Analysts, Product Specialists, Product Owners, and a dedicated Scrum Master. Together, we join our expertise to deliver exceptional value to our customers.

We have a hybrid working environment, where we typically spend 3 days working together in the office, and 2 working from home.
About You We are dedicated to unlocking your full potential, and we are eager to welcome a diverse range of skills and talents. Here, we see Software Engineering as more than just writing code. It's about fostering creative collaboration within diverse teams, harnessing each other's strengths to solve real-world challenges and enhance our customers' lives.

We're not looking for the "finished product," and whether you've gained some coding experience through university or as a personal hobby, we're interested in team-players who are enthusiastic about learning, growing, and contributing their unique perspectives.

If this resonates with you, and you are eager to make a meaningful impact, we can't wait to hear from you Minimum Criteria You’ll need to be studying an undergraduate degree that includes a year in industry. You have a passion for technology About The Company
