The Software Engineering Professional supports the execution of the software engineering strategy and roadmap that supports BT's commercial strategy through cross functional project and technical delivery and the participation of a team that pursues innovation as well as engineering excellence.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supports on the implementation of technical solutions for both customers and colleagues and delivers on the resolution of inter-system issues, working within cross-functional squads to assist in creating and implementing technical solutions for a domain or cross domain activity within a specific technology 
• Supports in the execution of technical decisions, technology choices and architecture for a wide range of high-performance products, capabilities, and platforms, effectively balancing short-term impact with long-term transformation
• Supports the design and development of software solutions in accordance with the wider architecture and security standards
• Undertakes technical reviews to continually update knowledge and skills in software engineering principles and practices, ensuring a base level of technical specialism proficiency to enable industry and quality standards to positively impact work and customers
• Supports with the designs of technical specifications and development of software solutions of smaller and /or less complex initiatives in partnership with team, contributing towards the quality of delivery
• Writes, tests and reviews code, refining and rewriting as necessary under supervision and communicates to engineering professionals and colleagues involved in the project
• Integrates existing software products and solves routine problems to enable incompatible platforms to work together

• Applies problem solving methods to repair failed products or processes.
• Uses a group of methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organising cross-functional teams.
• Finds and resolves bugs within computer programmes, software, or systems.
• Applies a computer language to communicate with computers using a set of instructions and to automate the execution of tasks.
• Microservices/Service Oriented Architecture - Develops software systems, focusing on building single-function modules with well-defined interfaces and operations.
• Version Control - Tracks and manages changes to software code.
• Software Testing - Conducts an investigation to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the software product or service under test.
• Application Development - Creates a computer program or a set of programs to perform the different tasks that a business requires.
• Algorithm Design - Develops methods or a mathematical process for problem-solving and engineering algorithms.
• Software Development Lifecycle - Follows a specific process used by the software industry to design, develop and test high quality software.
• Cloud Computing - Uses a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.
• Database Design/Development - Designs and developments data management systems.
