Software Engineering Higher (Level 4) Apprenticeship

Descrizione del lavoro:

This 22-month apprenticeship blends hands-on mentorship, real-world projects and structured training delivered by Makers, a leading UK tech training provider.
You will begin with an intensive 16-week bootcamp to build strong foundations in software development, followed by on-the-job learning at Visa where you will apply your skills to real systems. Throughout the programme you will gain experience across full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, monitoring and observability, microservices, databases, API development and agile delivery.
Specific assignments will depend upon your skillsets, interest, and team needs. By applying to this position, your application is automatically considered across multiple software development teams, so you could potentially work across a range of Visa products, including consumer payments, commercial payments and corporate IT.
You'll be supported throughout the programme with structured learning, regular check-ins and a community of fellow apprentices to help you succeed. On completion, you will achieve a nationally recognised Level 4 Software Developer qualification and be equipped to contribute to live engineering projects
