SOC 2134 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (57% match). If the code is right — and AVEVA is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.
About the role
AVEVA is creating software trusted by over 90% of leading industrial companies.
Job Title: Software Engineer
Location: Cambridge, United Kingdom (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-time
The job
As a Software Engineer in the Cloud UE (Unified Engineering) team, you will help design, build, and operate the services and streaming environments that deliver AVEVA's Unified Engineering products to customers as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
You will work across serverless APIs, identity and access flows, Windows-centric infrastructure, and desktop streaming technologies. You will contribute to CI/CD and infrastructure automation, champion security and compliance, and support service reliability and performance. As you gain experience, there may be an opportunity to join the team’s on-call rotation in the future, with full mentoring and support.
This is a role for someone early in their career who is eager to learn, proactive by nature, and excited by the opportunity to work across a broad and modern technology stack in a team that truly owns what it builds. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you will be expected to have the curiosity, drive, and resilience to grow quickly.
