Applying

Are you interested in a graduate position with us? Or are you looking for an internship during the summer? If so, you'll want to know what you need to apply to Ensoft:

  • You must want a career developing software - that's what we do and just like the major development labs in the US we reward innovation and technical excellence, rather than job titles and salesmen.
  • The barrier to entry is high, so you need a proven academic capability. For example, you will be taking a numerate degree at one of the UK's leading Universities. As a guide, please do not apply unless you have A grades at A-level or equivalent, (or good excuses!).
  • Some experience would help, but isn't essential. (It's great to find recent graduates who have already spent their spare time developing applications and running computer systems).
  • Finally, you must be sociable. We work closely in very hard working teams. The technical review process is rigorous and work is only accepted when the whole team understands the design and accepts it. You can't hide in an office writing amazing code and expect us to sell it and support it for our customers.
  • Oh, by the way, we believe that we are creating an exceptional company, so you need a pride and passion for your work and should expect to work with us for many years.

So, if you want a job at Ensoft, you can apply now by sending your CV to recruitment@ensoft.co.uk. If you are a finalist, you can have your first job arranged before you embark on those hours of study needed to get through finals.

Please note that we do monitor applications all year round, but focus on our interview days held at Oxford and Cambridge. We focus on graduate applications in Michaelmas term, and internship applications in the following February. As these interview dates approach, we advertise our application deadlines on our Events page.

The format and layout of your CV are not critical - so long as the information is there and easy to find. You can send your CV as an attached document or simply as the text content of an e-mail message. Send it to us at recruitment@ensoft.co.uk.
