We champion diversity of thought and ideas, we behave like leaders regardless of title, we are committed to achieving ambitious goals and we have fun celebrating our wins. Supported by operating principles of being strategy-led, values-based and disciplined in execution, you’ll be inspired, connected, developed and rewarded here. Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and be your best self! Are you ready to kick-start your software engineering career in a role where your curiosity, ideas, and passion for learning will be valued from day one? We’re looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join our growing team in York! Whether you're fresh from university or have been sharpening your skills on personal projects, this is your chance to work on real-world applications using modern technologies like Rust, Java, Docker, and Kubernetes. You’ll be part of a supportive, collaborative environment where engineers challenge and inspire each other — and where your growth is as important as the software you help build. Your Impact Software Development: Implement, and maintain scalable, maintainable, and efficient Rust and/or Java based applications, built on top of a Kubernetes architecture. Quick Learner: Be able to learn the breadth of technologies that your team uses while gaining a depth of skills in core technologies like Rust, Java and Kubernetes. Collaboration & Communication: Your team and the teams around you will be working on complex and interesting work. You will need to collaborate with these teams by articulating complex ideas in understandable ways. Energised: be a self-starter and self-motivated. You should dive into the work assigned to you and want to deliver a high quality product. Confident: the team you join contains passionate engineers who have high energy discussions. As you gain confidence, we want you to join these discussions with the same level of passion. Your Qualifications Experience: A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience in a professional environment. Coding: We expect some experience in any recognised programming languages. This can be professional, academic or practiced as a hobby. If you have a GitHub account or equivalent you can show us to demonstrate your ability, that would be excellent. Desired Skills Rust and/or Java Programming: The team you join writes code in both Rust and Java. You'll only be expected to use one when you join but some experience using either will give you a head start. Containerised applications: most of what we build is deployed in Docker containers. Knowing about tools like Docker and Helm will help you understand how our code gets to production. Kubernetes Architecture: The containers we build are deployed via Kubernetes (mostly). It's okay not to have experience in Kubernetes but you should expect to be working with it when you join the team. Education: A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred but not required. As well as joining a team of passionate engineers, you'll be joining a greater community of engineers in Anaplans' York office. You'll find yourself amongst peers who support each other's careers and work together to build a winning culture. Many of the leading engineers joined at a similar level to you and have built their careers here with the support of this community. We hope that you'll one day be amongst those leaders and will give you all the support you need to do so. Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Build your career in a place that thrives on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We believe in a hiring and working environment where all people are respected and valued, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes people unique.
