Software Engineering Careers

We're innovators and #ConsultantsWhoCode

Our software development team is the engine of our business and it’s growing fast, as we develop new and innovative ways of helping our customers.

A place where work and life fit together

Team power

We're believers in sharing knowledge. Whether it’s a Games Day, hackathon or guild, we collaborate to solve problems. 

Our culture is one of sharing – we’re looking for free thinkers, problem solvers and individuals who want to make a difference.

Flexible working

We understand the importance of work-life balance, and we support a mix of office and home working.  

Our work location is a place to connect and collaborate with colleagues and support effective working. It’s what you do, not where you do it, that matters.

The 'EDF factor'

We believe in giving people freedom and support to grow, whether it’s developing skills or building our knowledge.

Hear from our people about what makes working at EDF unlike anywhere else. Whatever your motivator, there’s a place for you in our software engineering team.

Inside DevDay at AWS

Innovation, Start-up Culture & Designing for Change

“We focus on principles - giving engineers the autonomy to shape solutions and their own careers.” 

Software engineers are empowered to think big. With a start-up mindset and a culture of innovation, they’re building software that adapts to a changing world while owning their career paths and making a real impact.

Building More Than Code

"Tech for good - it's about building something bigger than yourself." 

Discover how purpose-driven engineering is helping power a sustainable future and shape a net zero world.

“Tech for good” is more than a concept - it’s a way of life.

Breaking Silos, Building Solutions

"Coming together for these types of events brings people out of their silos - it injects freshness into ideas and how we operate." 

A day of collaboration, architecture and innovation - bringing EDF’s Software Engineering community together to share ideas, spark creativity and shape the future of tech across the business.

Spotlight: Senior Software Engineer

Ready to step up into a bigger role?

As a Senior Software Engineer at EDF, you’ll get to:

- Lead small teams or ‘tribes’ of engineers

- Collaborate and grow your knowledge across the full stack

- Share your expertise and help to develop junior colleagues

- Work in a modern cloud-based environment with the latest technologies

We're not your typical energy company

Start-up culture

“It’s an exciting time. We’ve got a start-up culture in a large organisation and that real emphasis on being able to affect change is important to me.”

We’ve reimagined everything about the way we do things. From the technology we use (almost exclusively cloud-based); to our collaborative working methods (like pair programming) and approach to where you work (home or office).

Blank canvas

“I saw a lot of opportunities, essentially a blank canvas to leave my print on and that sold the job.” 

Whether you’re a front-end, back-end, or somewhere-in-between developer, working with us is an opportunity to ditch the labels, grow your knowledge and focus on building great applications that help our customers.

Everyone's welcome

“We want someone who’s open-minded; a free thinker, and who speaks truth to power.” 


We’ve built an inclusive, democratic and collaborative culture, where everyone’s opinion is valued. 

It's a place to work which encourages creativity and experimentation.
