Job description

GRADUATE SOFTWARE DEVELOPER 2026

Location: Birmingham, Bristol, Inverness, London, Manchester, Treforest - Cardiff, Woking

Intake date: April

About the job you're considering

As a Graduate Software Developer at Capgemini, you'll join dynamic scrum teams to design, develop, and maintain software solutions for a diverse client base across public and private sectors. You'll write clean, tested code, support live systems, and contribute to enhancements that make a real impact.

Hybrid working: The places that 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; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role

• You’ll work as part of a scrum team to develop and maintain software solutions.
• You will use your software engineering passion to write code that makes a difference across a varied client base, which includes both the public and private sectors.
• You’ll support live systems and applications, implementing bug fixes and exploring improvements through code changes.
• You’ll take responsibility for components of a much larger system, writing code to complement that which is being developed by colleagues.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

Graduate Empower Programme

The Empower Programme provides hands‑on experience, structured development, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. You’ll join a supportive, feedback‑rich environment where you’ll build consulting, technology, industry, and soft skills - whether in business analysis, data, project management, software development, cybersecurity, AI or creative design.

Designed to help you thrive, offering technical and professional development alongside tailored feedback and mentoring. You’ll have regular social and networking events to strengthen connections across teams and contribute to a positive, collaborative culture.

The Empower Programme equips you to succeed in dynamic roles that integrate both technology and business expertise to deliver value for clients. Built around six essential Power Skills, the programme blends client work, role‑specific training, and collaborative projects. You’ll join Learning Pods to build cross‑functional networks and follow personalised development roadmaps that guide your growth.

Your skills and experience

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or STEM subject
• A non‑STEM subject and successfully completed bootcamp with either Code First Girls, Code Your Future, Firebrand, Revolent, Powerup or Power Platform School.
• Relevant and practical software engineering experience with knowledge of at least one programming language, related frameworks and tools as well as what is involved to write readable, tested code in that language.
• The ability to convey complex coding concepts in jargon‑free language to a non‑technical audience.

Outstanding communication skills – our clients need to feel confident that you understand their requirements.

Your clearance

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 (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

Your security clearance

Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS)

To be successfully appointed to this role you will need to undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks.

There are no nationality or residency restrictions, although if you have resided outside of the UK within the last 3 years, further checks may be required.

There are other criteria and check required for BPSS, and throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
