Jaguar Land Rover is harnessing technology to make driving smarter, safer and cleaner. You can help create a world in which responsible, sustainable vehicles revolutionise the driving experience for generations. Our vision is to leverage the incredible potential of technology to build vehicles that not only offer a premium, all-encompassing digital experience, but that also make our customers lives better.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Jaguar Land Rover is a world leader in Engineering - we make incredible luxury vehicles. Our aspirations are no different for Software Engineering. Our people, our teams, and our culture of sharing, support and quality are at the heart of everything we do. We are natives of the agile and DevOps world and are here to solve complex technical challenges.

We're working hard for an environment that is diverse and inclusive. We are looking to add to our talented team with people from all backgrounds and cultures; we’re looking forward to making you feel welcome.

Speaking to our teams you'll find that flexibility and work-life balance are a core value. We trust our employees to get the job done and respect their choice in the environment to do so, and offer hybrid working, meaning you can work at home or in the office. Whether you have family commitments or personal appointments, work/life can fit around you. We have excellent workspace facilities (with the best view in town) located in the centre of Manchester where our teams can get together to collaborate. You will join as part of a team, a strong cohesive unit that supports each other to deliver value. Everybody has their part to play and nobody works alone.

We invest in people and help them grow - there is always something to learn, which is why our teams get the chance to spend 20% of their time working on levelling up their skills. Our engineers spend a day each week focussing on their own personal learning and development, building internal tools, or investigating new technologies, providing the space that enables both themselves and the team to continuously learn and improve.
