The Opportunity…

We’re a multi-disciplined team with generalists and specialists; be it front-end, back-end, full stack and DevOps. We offer opportunities for engineers who want to help shape, develop and grow our software engineering practice, whilst developing their own skills, knowledge and career. 

We have evolved our IT landscape into a collection of independent microservices, enabling us to respond to the fast-paced nature of the energy industry and its uncertainties.

Our Software Engineering practice is at the heart of this transformation and we encourage our engineering community to really understand our challenges, what our customers need from us, and to create practical applications that solve business needs. 

Pay, benefits and culture

Our Software Engineering team can work flexibly from home or the office, balancing the working day with personal commitments. We have offices in London, Brighton and Exeter.

Steve Bowerman, Principal Software Engineer says “It’s an exciting time. We’ve got a great start-up culture in a larger organisation, with the corporate stability and backing. And that real emphasis on being able to affect change is very important for me.”

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
