The team works across projects within all Atos’s target markets and creates bespoke software solutions for our many clients in different industries.



This is a key senior role as part of the UK-wide Enterprise Process Integration team. The team’s remit is to build bespoke software, and carry out all aspects of software development including detailed design, build, unit & integration testing, and support through subsequent System Test and UAT phases.

The primary technology focus for this role is Java, but other technology streams within the team include Mobile, Scala, and web-based Javascript frameworks and other scripting languages. The mix of technologies continuously evolves in line with the market and to support business growth. Individuals should therefore have an interest in broadening their understanding of relevant technologies and be keen and motivated to learn.
