Job description

• AVEVA’s Chief Technology Office drives emerging-technology innovation from early signals to real-world impact by scouting technology and market trends and then maturing capabilities such as Industrial AI, Digital Twins, robotics, simulation, visualization, and edge-to-cloud technologies through hands-on technical evaluation, experimentation, and rapid prototyping
• The CT Office Incubation Team turns emerging technology ideas into working prototypes that can be validated with customers, partners, and internal teams
• As a Full Stack Developer, you will help build end-to-end prototype solutions (UI, APIs, data integration, and cloud/edge deployment) to test new concepts in Digital Twins, Industrial AI, robotics, simulation, and visualization
• You’ll work in small, fast-moving, multidisciplinary teams, collaborating with engineers, researchers, product and solution specialists, and industrial domain experts
• This role suits an early-career developer who enjoys learning quickly, working across the stack, and turning ideas into functional software—valuing curiosity, practical problem-solving, and clear communication alongside coding skills
• Support the build of full‑stack prototypes by implementing and testing frontend, backend, APIs, and basic data integrations under guidance
• Help turn product ideas into small, testable demos by contributing to minimum‑viable implementations and iterating quickly
• Develop and maintain simple, well‑documented REST APIs and integrations (including event-driven patterns when needed) for internal and customer‑facing prototype environments
• Use AI‑assisted coding tools effectively and responsibly, while learning to validate generated code for correctness, security, quality, and IP compliance with support from senior engineers
• Improve reliability and demo readiness by fixing bugs, adding basic tests, and ensuring prototypes can be set up and reproduced by others
• Apply baseline security best practices (secrets handling, dependency hygiene, access control awareness, safe data handling) following team standards
• Troubleshoot prototype applications using logs and basic observability tools; advance issues early with clear context
• Document your work clearly (setup steps, API notes, known limitations, assumptions) to help teammates and future reuse
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teammates (product, researchers, solution architects, domain experts) and participate in team practices such as PR reviews, while building confidence in providing feedback
• Contribute small reusable components and templates and grow your knowledge of industrial software topics (Digital Twins, simulation, industrial data, robotics, edge/visualization) over time

Benefits

• Time off: 28 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays. You can also buy/sell five days a year
• Emergency leave: Five days a year to use when unexpected or urgent events make it impossible to work
• Hybrid working: The default option for employees is a 3:2 split between the office and working from home. Some positions are fully remote and others are fully office‑based—refer to the job listing for specific details
• Parental leave: Maternity leave comprises 18 weeks at full pay, followed by 21 weeks statutory pay and 13 weeks unpaid. Paternity leave is two weeks at full pay. Pension contributions and benefits are maintained throughout
• Workplace nursery scheme: Pay for your child’s nursery directly through payroll, saving tax and NI contributions
• Electric care lease: Use your flexible benefits fund to subsidize the pre‑tax leasing of a brand‑new electric or ultra‑low‑emission car
• Shopping vouchers: Use your flexible benefits fund on discounts and vouchers for many major retail, tech and restaurant chains
• BUPA private healthcare: BUPA healthcare is a core benefit for employees. Use your flexible benefits fund and/or salary sacrifice to add family members
• Anonymous counselling: Through our Modern Health benefit, employees and their dependents over 13 are eligible to use our mental health app and receive unlimited counselling and coaching each year
• Dental insurance: Use your flexible benefits fund to cover preventative and restorative treatment. You can also add coverage for family members

• Gym membership: Use your flexible benefits fund to discount a membership to a major gym chain
• Bonus: Based on a combination of your own performance and AVEVA’s financial results
• Pension: Use your flexible benefits fund to increase the standard employer contribution. You can also route your bonus directly into your pension, saving tax and NI
• Income protection: Secure a reliable income if you’re unable to work due to long‑term sickness or injury
• Life assurance: In the event of your death, your loved ones will receive a lump sum
• Charitable giving: The Action for Good program gives you three days of paid volunteering every year, as well as match funding opportunities. You can also use your flexible benefits fund to give to charity pre‑tax
• Professional development: Access to LinkedIn Learning gives you the chance to grow your knowledge and skills, while AVEVA’s extensive mentorship network allows you learn from colleagues across the company
