Graduate Software Engineer
Gamesys Group is one of the world’s leading gaming operators, with millions of players and over 1500+ employees. We believe passionately in what we do. Quite simply, we craft entertainment with care, building trusted brands and creating great experiences that always put the player first.
Our award-winning portfolio – including Virgin, Jackpotjoy, Monopoly, Heart and Vera&John – are some of the best known in the industry. Join us and you’ll be joining a big, international group with some great brands and an exciting future. You’ll feel part of one global family, working with smart people, and delivering a great experience for our players. There’s one thing we expect from you, over and above everything else. Be yourself. One of the values in our DNA is ‘stay wonderfully weird’ – and that applies to all of us.
The Role
We are looking to bring on a new intake of Graduates to our Technical Graduate Scheme. Here at Gamesys we do things a little differently to other companies, after an initial period of training, we will throw you right into the action! You will be assigned to one of the teams and will start taking on stories from the team’s backlog. As a Graduate in this stream you will be given the chance to learn your trade across the roles of Java Developer, Front-end Developer, QA Engineer and Developer-in-Test. During the scheme you will rotate across a number of our platforms to give you exposure with different areas of our business and to learn a range of technology.
Whilst the team will provide the support needed for a graduate to excel, you are expected to quickly build up domain knowledge and work with latest technologies used by the team. You will have the satisfaction of being part of the team working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment delivering market leading games and features to entertain our players. Over two years, you'll contribute to some pretty exciting projects. You'll get exposure to advanced technologies and you'll have the chance to work alongside some of the best technical people in the industry.
We believe that you learn most things on the job. In addition, formal training will be provided where needed. You will receive reviews every 6 months where you will get feedback from those you work with. Gamesys offers multiple career paths leading to Architect, Development Manager, Project/Programme Manager, and Team Lead.
