Job description

TD SYNNEX's European Digital Marketing Agency is looking for a hands-on Software Engineer to help build reliable services, integrations and user-facing features for our AI-enabled internal tools and workflows.

This role would be suited to a pragmatic engineer with a strong grounding in good software-engineering principles, who can independently deliver clearly defined features, while continuing to develop their expertise across AI, cloud and full-stack engineering.

You will combine strong engineering discipline with an open, collaborative approach, communicating clearly and translating technical considerations for different audiences.

You will work with technical and non-technical stakeholders across our European agency environment to turn ideas and business needs into secure, scalable and production-ready capabilities.

We're not here to sell you a job. We're here to invite you into a culture that values curiosity, celebrates diverse perspectives, and believes that great leadership starts with listening.

If you're passionate about collaboration, building strong relationships, and delivering results with accountability and clear communication, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Here's a List Of Some Of Our Perks, But What Really Sets Us Apart Is The Way We Work Together. We're Big On Trust, Transparency, And Making Space For Moments That Matter

• Hybrid working.
• Private healthcare, matched pension, enhanced parental & family leave.
• "Moments that matter" paid time off (yes, even for your pet's birthday).
• Four Business Resource Groups supporting inclusion and belonging.
• Clear progression paths and benchmarked salaries.
• Sustainability - we're building a greener future. We've reduced energy consumption in our UK offices by 19.2% year-on-year - it's not just a goal, it's a commitment.
• A culture that values every voice and celebrates diverse perspectives.
• These values drive everything we do; they're not just posters on the wall:
• Own it
• Grow and Win
• Dare to Go
• Do the Right Thing

We believe that when our values guide our actions, we build stronger teams, deeper relationships, and a future full of possibility.

We're proud to be a Disability Confident employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you need adjustments during the recruitment process, just ask.

Desirable

• Awareness of the security, privacy, reliability and cost considerations associated with AI-enabled applications.
