About the Role
Are you interested in being part of a team that turns cutting-edge concepts into a reality? What about developing software systems that impact customers globally?
Our in-house Digital Platforms and the teams behind them are our inner powerhouse. By bringing together our technical and commercial expertise, and our insight and passion for customer experience, we help stand out from the competition.
On our software industrial placement, we’ll be getting you stuck into real-life projects from day one, learning to work with the latest Digital technologies. You could be learning languages like Python, Objective-C or Java, or you could be working on cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

That new piece of software you help work on could go on to be a vital part of people’s day-to-day life!
You’ll get the chance to explore the full software development lifecycle. You’ll design, develop, deploy, test software and new technologies. It’s a pivotal role in the team as you’ll be building the pipeline that will deliver core software services that serve over 30 million customers and colleagues.
You can be sure the projects you’re involved with will give you unique knowledge that you’ll be able to take back to university with you, and into your career beyond.
We’ll give you on-the-job training and access to our internal learning platforms and the exposure you need to become commercially savvy and gain great exposure to BT Group operations.
We expect you to demonstrate that you are proactive, can take initiative, and are focused on continuing to grow and develop. We believe that collaboration is key to success, and you will typically be in our amazing offices three days a week.
This placement is available in the Digital part of our business.
