Graduate Programme

Have you ever wondered what it is like to work to build products that protect people? Or watched a Netflix crime series and wondered how that fancy computer managed to catch the baddie? On our software engineering graduate programme, you can find out.

Digital Barriers' edge-AI and IOT solutions have led the way for our expanding channel partners across the world such as Vodafone and Fujitsu. You will help drive and deliver our "edge-intelligent" video technologies using a true full stack of AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Edge Computing and Cloud (AWS) technologies. At the same time, you will gain real in-depth knowledge across our team, business and technologies whilst developing industry-leading specialist skills.

"The Digital Barriers graduate scheme has propelled my career to another level. I've had the opportunity to live and work overseas, experience a 360
view of the business and after five years I'm now responsible for the overall product strategy and development at Digital Barriers."

Dale Hall, Group Product Management Director
