The Guardian Software Engineering Fellowship is an opportunity for developers who are at the beginning of their careers to join our Product and Engineering department. A grasp of programming is a prerequisite of a successful application; however we don't pass judgment on how these skills were learned.
If you love coding and digital media, you can apply to the fellowship irrespective of your background.
This 12-month scheme provides a platform for developing your skills as an engineer, gaining experience working on multiple teams and developing applications in the media industry. It provides a structured path to becoming a software engineer, with support from experienced engineers and other fellows.
As a fellow you will be building software hands-on as part of a team. We expect fellows to learn and grow throughout the scheme, and provide the space for them to do so. With the support of other developers, you will gain the skills to become a fully-fledged software engineer.
During the course of the fellowship you could be working on anything, including shipping code changes to the website or apps, to adding functionality to the publishing tools used by our journalists, or analysing big data. Fellows rotate around different teams, giving them a wide experience of different technologies and working environments.
The Software Engineering Fellowship is currently closed for applications.
