About the Software Engineers Registration Of Interest Program

GCHQ is looking for Software Engineers at all levels, to deliver creative solutions to real-world problems. So, if you’re a problem solver who wants to work with cutting-edge technology, and you’re looking for the chance to make a real contribution towards our national security, a role at GCHQ could be right for you.

GCHQ will shortly be recruiting for a variety of roles:

  • Trainee Software Engineers
  • Software Engineers
  • Senior Software Engineers
  • Lead Software Engineers

As part of the registration of interest, candidates from an ethnic minority background and women from any ethnic background* will be invited to a series of online events and prior to the campaign going live will be invited to an Insight Event where they can find out more about the role. Please see details below.

  • Insight event – Wednesday 15th March 2023 (12:30– 17:00)
  • Skills event – Friday 17th March 2023 (13:00)

* GCHQ are confining registrations of interest to these groups only, due to their current underrepresentation in their workforce. Once the application window has opened, they welcome applications from all candidates regardless of their ethnic background, gender, disability and/or any other characteristic(s).
