At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you’ll be doing:

• Responsibility under supervision for producing quality working code, the right level of documentation, testing changes and correcting errors found

• Understanding the need of requirement analysis and design and assisting in problem analysis and investigation
• Following systems development best practice in the use of standards, methodologies, and techniques
• Producing documented test plans and results with guidance from the team
• Managing your own time and tasks, meeting deadlines
• Keeping up to date with business and IT strategy, as well as general technology trends

• Some understanding of the Azure platform and an interest in Azure best practice design principles
• Awareness of current and emerging technologies and trends in the industry
