Job description

Looking to kick‑start or redirect your tech career?
At WithYouWithMe we hire for potential, not pedigree. For this cohort we’re seeking people with ~1–2 years’ experience in a software environment (commercial, research, placement or internal tools) who want to grow as Python engineers. If you’re curious, coachable and love solving problems—we’d love to meet you.

What’s the role?

Full‑time, salaried role on complex, meaningful projects in Bristol. You’ll start with structured Python training and then join a live engineering team where you’ll keep learning on the job.

After onboarding you’ll:

• Build and maintain backend services & APIs
• Automate data/ops tasks and integrations
• Write reliable tests and documentation; take part in code reviews
• Contribute to secure, well‑engineered systems in a defence‑aligned setting

What we’re looking for

• Hands‑on Python (projects, scripts, apps or lab work)
• Comfort with Git, command line, and basic testing
• Problem‑solver who enjoys learning and collaborating in a team
• Great backgrounds might include hobbyist Python devs (Raspberry Pi/bots), analysts or engineers using pandas/numpy, QA/Support/IT folks who script in Python, DevOps juniors with API/CI exposure, research assistants who coded experiments or pipelines.
• You don’t need a CS degree or long commercial history. A perfect CV—show us what you’ve built and how you think.

Security & eligibility

Due to the nature of the work, UK Government Security Clearance will be required. This typically involves UK citizenship and 5 years of checkable residency (role‑specific requirements apply). We’ll guide you through vetting.

What you’ll get

• Structured Python training (provided by WYWM)
• £35,000 salary
• Real‑world experience in a defence‑aligned environment
• Ongoing mentoring, certification support and a clear growth path
