Technology Graduate (Feb 2024)

Are you ready to be a big part of something big? 

At carsales, we're all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 25 years we’ve been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow.

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership.

Not something you’d expect from one of the country’s biggest tech companies, is it?

And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle – Office, Hybrid or Anywhere.

What’s on offer:

• A permanent role in a place where you can move your career forward, where you’ll be continuously backed to make new ideas happen, and the chance to do work that makes a real, significant impact in the world.
• We’re a certified Great Place to Work, Family Friendly Workplace and WGEA Employer of Choice.
• The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that you’ll actually have face time with.
• 18 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks of paid secondary caregivers to leave, and six weeks paid gender transition leave.
• Regular Hackathons, endless learning and development opportunities, and a range of activities will help support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Job Description

What you’ll do:

• Commencing in February 2024, you’ll join our Tech team and start developing your digital career by growing your capabilities across software development, testing, automation and much more.
• You will have the chance to work on projects that really matter to our business, and we'll surround you with a support crew of motivated and creative people who are invested in providing you with big opportunities to help you make a big impact.
• To set you up for success you’ll begin by completing three six-month rotations in different Tech squads across the business. You’ll get the opportunity to really understand the software lifecycle and how we create and deliver products that make buying and selling a great experience for our customers. Upon completion of these rotations, you’ll be placed into a permanent home with one of our Tech teams.
• There will be lots of laughs along the way too - whether it's participating in our Hackathons, our endless learning & development opportunities, our well-being initiatives, or simply sending amusing GIFs to one another via Slack!

Qualifications

What are we looking for?

• Inclusive and interpersonal attributes that connect with our behaviours (we change the game, we own it, we step in, we are curious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously)
• Final year students (to graduate by end of 2023) or recent graduates (no later than 2022) with IT, Computer Science, Software Development or similar degrees and a keen interest in Software Engineering, Front End Development, QA or Cloud & Security Engineering.
• Motivation to grow your career in tech and become a professional software developer.
• A demonstrated interest in the software development lifecycle and putting this to practical application in your career.
• A true passion for learning and growth - we want you to be excited about learning our tech stack, the languages that we code in and how to work in an agile environment with the latest technologies.
