BAE Systems - National Security Cyber Accelerator: Software Engineering & Cyber Research

At BAE Systems, our Cyber teams do the most interesting work you\'ve never heard of! We\'re an industry-leading company and investing heavily in growing our Cyber team. Our Cyber Accelerator aims to take promising software engineers, reverse engineers and vulnerability researchers and give them the training and experience needed to become exceptional, in order to make a meaningful contribution to UK National Security.

If you have experience developing software, are driven by learning new things, love playing around with technology or are excited by finding out how things work - then our National Security Cyber Accelerator could be just the challenge for you.

You\'ll start your first year with specialised training, including tailored work experience and coaching under the close guidance of our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). This training will cover research and development skills that will directly support your work during the programme and throughout your career. You will spend time on project work in your base location - Gloucester, London or Manchester - and complete training both virtually and in various locations.

On completion of the Accelerator you will move into a permanent role in Gloucester, London or Manchester Cyber and National Security teams, where you will help to solve some of our customer\'s hardest problems; and trust us - these are not the kinds of problems you\'ll get at a hedge fund, a Shoreditch start-up, nor even a Silicon Valley tech giant.

We don\'t just make software, we make a difference.
