Academy September 2021

Infinity Works is one of the UK’s leading digital transformation and engineering consultancies. We help our clients solve both challenging technical and business problems in a wide variety of domains using a diverse set of technology stacks. As a fast-growing company started by four friends in 2014 to now more than 450 people, we’re located across our four offices in Leeds, London, Manchester and Edinburgh. We work with many different organisations – ranging from retailers, telecoms, banks, the NHS and other public sector organisations, right through to start-ups and smaller companies with bespoke needs.

With no client or challenge being the same, and operating in fast-moving and often uncertain climates, it’s important that some things remain constant. For Infinity Works, these constants are: our desire to be the best for our clients, doing the right thing and helping them achieve their goals, as well as being the best for our people. This means providing everyone with learning, challenges and support in equal measure whilst also encouraging them to be themselves.

The Infinity Works Academy is the intro to your career as a full-stack software engineer and consultant. If you’re offered a place, you’re a fully-paid employee from day one. Our Academy begins as a 12-week training programme where you’re supported by our experienced Academy team. You’ll learn both the technical and consultancy skills needed to start on the path to becoming an Infinity Works consultant.

Tech-wise, we like to keep up to date so we aim to tweak and adapt every programme, however it will always be full-stack from, but not limited to, cloud, infrastructure and data, through serverless, APIs and high-scale systems to front-end and mobile. For example, our latest programme focused on Javascript, React, AWS, serverless and DynamoDB, with plenty of emphasis on professional practices such as testing, CI/CD and agile delivery, too.

You can also check out our engineering blog at https://engineering.infinityworks.com for more details about what Infinity Works is involved in.

The Academy is more than the first 12 weeks – we support you to continue your learning with a day per month ‘off project’ to meet up with your cohort, receive further training, and work to build on your skills and knowledge. Plus, you’re assigned a career mentor too, whose role is to support and encourage you to progress and make the most of the opportunities at Infinity Works.

Ultimately, we aim to help you progress to consultant within a 12 to 24-month timeframe and from there, there’s many paths you can choose. We’re proud to say that almost all of our Academy hires to date have chosen to progress further at Infinity Works and enjoy the challenge of building their specialist skills and knowledge while helping grow the business in the process. Here are a few examples of some of those who’ve joined us via the Academy in the past…

I joined Infinity Works in 2016 after leaving university and went straight into the Academy. Coming from a background in physics and with little experience in software, joining a cutting-edge consultancy seemed quite daunting at the time. However, everyone at Infinity Works very quickly put my mind at ease and made me feel incredibly welcome. The Academy was the perfect place for me to learn and develop my skills."

I studied BSc Biochemistry with a placement year at a pharmaceutical company. The Academy taught me the key concepts of agile software delivery, from initial business analysis through to supporting a live product, via workshops and a mini team development project which culminated in a fully working website. I loved my time on the Academy, which gave me a fantastic start for the position of consultant."
