You’ll be joining a passionate, professional and highly skilled team of developers who specialise in agile custom software development and integration at an enterprise scale. Innovation in delivery is at the forefront of our mindset, using a variety of Open Source and proprietary technologies to achieve the best possible outcome for the client.

Hybrid working: The places you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business. It will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; note that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and an unspent criminal record check (Disclosure and Barring Service).

Your role

• You will be a hands-on technical expert helping us deliver projects in a true DevOps manner. You will apply a software engineering mindset to problems, whether that’s provisioning services, writing code or writing automation tools and scripts.
• You will have a lean mindset, striving to build reliable and performant services that are operationally sound. You will strive to do things better and faster, eliminating waste and applying this across the entire software delivery lifecycle for both internal customers and end users.

You can bring your whole self to work. Capgemini values equity, diversity and inclusion as part of everyday life and within your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Your skills and experience

What you’ll bring:

• Experience of Java
• Experience of Spring framework or equivalent
• Knowledge of software design patterns and when to apply them
• Excellent knowledge of development processes
• Experience of containerisation using Docker or Kubernetes
• Experience of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD)
• A passion for delivering quality code, using TDD and setting high software quality standards

We’re also using the following technologies and patterns; it would be great if you have some of these, and we can help develop them if not:

• Designing microservice-based architectures using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and Event Sourcing patterns
• Kubernetes
• Knowledge/Certification in Spring framework
• Experience in cloud technologies (AWS/Azure/GCP)

You will be required to pass Security Clearance if you are successful in this recruitment process, which is a condition of undertaking the role. Please ensure you are aware of the requirements before submitting your application.

We are a Disability Confident Employer

Capgemini is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) under the UK Government’s Disability Confident scheme. As part of our commitment to inclusive recruitment, we will offer an interview to all candidates who declare they have a disability and meet the minimum essential criteria for the role. Please opt in during the application process.

Your security clearance and pre-employment checks

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and an unspent criminal record check (Disclosures and Barring Service).

Security Check (SC) Clearance: To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements. Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility, such as country of residence and nationality. Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.

Make it real — what does it mean to you?

You will be empowered to explore, innovate, and progress. Capgemini’s “learning for life” mindset means you will have numerous training and development opportunities—from thinktanks to hackathons—and access to 250,000 courses with external certifications (AWS, Microsoft, Harvard ManageMentor, Cybersecurity qualifications, and more).

You will reimagine what’s possible: creating value for the world’s leading organisations through technology to build a sustainable, more inclusive future. You will work with a range of clients with unique business, technological, and societal ambitions, making a real impact across the UK.

You would be joining an accredited Great Place to Work for Wellbeing in 2024. Employee wellbeing is vital, and we have trained Mental Health Champions across each business area and wellbeing apps such as Thrive and Peppy.
