BAE Systems Digital Intelligence

Apprentice DevOps Engineer – Level 4 Apprenticeship

Start date: September 2023

Base location: Guildford, London

It is now argued that DevOps is one of the most sought after skillsets in the industry, surpassing that of the range of data science disciplines. At its simplest, DevOps is a philosophy and way of working that brings together two historically disparate parts of the IT organisation, namely those who develop the software and those who are then required to support it in the live environment.

This Apprenticeship is designed to develop individuals with the required capability to become a DevOps Engineer with BAE Systems Digital Intelligence. On completion of your training you will be taking responsibility for all aspects of the development and operations process – the design, build, test, implementation, release and continual iteration of products.

The programme will provide you with the technical knowledge and interpersonal skills to work with confidence in a wide variety of challenging business environments. You may have some experience within IT, or you might be a Graduate or non-Graduate who has a passion for IT. If you have a genuine passion for technology and continuous learning, this could be the programme for you.

Whilst you progress through this Apprenticeship, we will support you through the UK Security clearance process, which will allow you to work with our more sensitive projects in support of our clients: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/security-vetting-and-clearance
