GRADUATE DEVOPS ENGINEER 2026

Location: Birmingham, Bristol, Inverness, London, Manchester, Treforest – Cardiff, Woking

Intake date: April, September 2026

About the job you’re considering

DevOps is not about developing applications - more around the introduction of processes, tools, and methodologies to balance needs throughout the software development lifecycle, from coding and deployment to maintenance and updates to systems.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role

From your first meeting with a client through to the finished product, you will be responsible for unifying and automating processes. As a DevOps engineer, you will introduce processes, tools and methodologies to balance needs throughout the software development lifecycle, from coding and deployment to maintenance and updates to systems. With clients ranging from the Royal Mail to the Home Office, your work will make a massive impact on the British public, and further afield for our international clientele.

• You’ll develop and maintain bespoke solutions for a varied client base, which includes both the public and private sectors – drawing on different languages, methodologies and DevOps principles.

• You’ll support live systems and applications, working to release, configure, monitor and operate applications and systems.

• You’ll take responsibility for components of a much larger system, writing code to complement that which is being developed by colleagues.

• You’ll be working within a DevOps team, which work with a set of practices that break down the traditional barriers between software development and IT operations. You will thrive in a culture of collaboration.

• DevOps Engineers work as part of cross-functional teams, with an aim to reduce the time it takes for new software to be delivered into production.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.
