Job Description
Life as a Software Engineer is all about creating products using cutting edge tech.
If you choose to join us as a Graduate Software Engineer, you’ll learn how to build and test enterprise grade, resilient software that is rapidly utilised by clients.
You’ll evolve applications building server-side capabilities and features primarily in either Java or JavaScript. You’ll also gain exposure to web based front end using HTML and CSS. Expect to dabble in cloud computing platforms such as Azure and AWS.
You will be working on cutting edge products within our EDQ (Experian Data Quality) team’s Aperture suite (Data Studio and Data Governance). Our technology stretches across a wide variety of areas, from proprietary low-level database components highly tuned to efficiently process billions of rows of data, through to richly interactive interfaces incorporating machine learning techniques to deliver cutting edge user experiences.
We invest in the future of our business and technology to ensure our products and platforms are robust, maintainable and scalable. That’s why you can also expect to experiment in emerging technologies and techniques that help keep our products, processes and pipelines modern, effective and efficient.
Get ready for design thinking, open-source software, cloud technologies, APIs, a start-up mindset and an agile framework.
If you choose to join us, you’ll receive industry training, wide-reaching career opportunities and a wealth of support through our Early Careers network, buddy, line manager & mentor scheme.
Our Graduate roles are permanent opportunities, and you’ll also take part in our 2 year structured Early Careers Development Programme when you join us which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.
Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons – it’s what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.

Maybe you’re a bedroom coder or simply a tech enthusiast. If you have a genuine passion for tech and can demonstrate an understanding of how and where it can be used, we’d love to hear from you!
You must be graduating in 2024, or have graduated within the last three years ( 2021, 2022 or 2023 graduates). You must have achieved or be on track to achieve a minimum 2:2 degree classification.
