As a student software developer, you will play an important role in supporting the team's development efforts by contributing to real business-critical solutions, helping maintain high quality through testing, and bringing fresh perspectives on emerging technologies such as Azure and AI.

This is a part-time position of around 2–3 days a week. You will work on real tasks from day one, with a dedicated colleague to guide you, review your code and help you grow.

• Taking part in our agile ways of working, stand-ups, sprint planning and code reviews


• Exploring new tools and technologies, such as cloud services on Microsoft Azure and AI and sharing what you learn with the team

Who you are

We care about who you are as a person. In the end, how you work, and your energy is what impacts the results we achieve as a team. As a person, you are:

• Structured and responsible, taking ownership of your tasks and delivering what you commit to


• Collaborative and comfortable working with colleagues across disciplines, locations and cultures


• Curious and proactive in suggesting improvements to tools, processes and technical solutions


• Open to feedback and ready to learn from mistakes, with high spirits and a sense of humour

• Have some experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and ideally a modern framework such as React


• Know the basics of relational databases and SQL

Life at NNE

NNE is short for Novo Nordisk Engineering. And for all of us who work here, NNE means so much more.

At NNE, you become part of a vibrant, project-based environment built on close day-to-day collaboration. The role is therefore primarily on-site, with physical presence at the workplace expected five days a week. Limited flexibility for occasional remote work may be accommodated in line with business needs.

We are, at our core, a people business and, as such, committed to continuously developing our people and the way we work together. We do not expect you to know it all from day one, and we truly believe a great start makes a real difference. We therefore welcome new colleagues with our award-nominated onboarding programme, supported by a range of in-house talent and development initiatives designed to support your long-term growth.
