Associate Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Associate Software Engineer role at Liverpool John Moores University

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

We are now seeking a talented and motivated Associate Software Engineer to join our growing Digital Services and Technology team. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development, enhancement, and support of the University’s digital systems and applications, helping to shape innovative solutions that empower students, staff, and researchers across our academic community. This role is an entry level position, designed to support someone at the early stage of their career and offering opportunities for growth and development.

As an Associate Software Engineer, you will work as part of a collaborative team delivering high‑quality software solutions using modern technologies and agile practices. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in the full software development lifecycle — from design and development to testing, deployment, and support — while contributing to projects that make a real difference in higher education.

Please note that, due to the salary associated with this position, this post is unlikely to meet the minimum requirements for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route. Therefore, the University does not expect to be able to sponsor a visa for this position, except in cases where specific criteria may apply.
