You think differently.

You create and innovate.

You safeguard our nation.

Here at MI6, we’re the UK’s foreign human intelligence agency. In our world, we use sophisticated technology and innovative techniques to enable global covert operations.

About you

With sound understanding and experience of at least one of the programming languages listed above, as well as Agile development methodologies, you’ll be a strong communicator. Experienced as an IT professional in a development or non-development environment, you’ll be a natural problem-solver, thrive under pressure and enjoy keeping up with emerging technologies. As a forward-thinking individual, you’ll have added to your technical skills through a degree or vocational courses.
