Are you on target for a 1st, and looking for a placement which will give you exposure to real System Admin / DevOps work on interesting projects and with the latest technology?
Blueberry is a highly technical software development company based in Birmingham and Gloucester. We work for clients across the UK, building web, mobile and client-server systems – and we develop our own innovative products, such as:

As Amazon and Microsoft Partners, our company operates a fleet of more than 150 servers on the AWS Cloud Hosting platform. Our team of skilled professionals develops systems using cutting-edge technologies such as Angular, Python, and C# on a daily basis to meet the unique needs of our clients. We're owned and managed by former developers who are passionate about technology and committed to staying on the forefront of innovation. To support our experimental project work, we maintain an in-house Kickstarter budget which we've used to purchase equipment, including a 3D printer and laser cutter.
As a smaller company, we believe our placement program is different from those offered by multi-nationals:
- Our placement students get direct exposure to all aspects of the development business, including customer trips, and technology / business model discussions with managers.
- Students are involved in live customer projects where possible, and internal development projects if no customer projects are available
The placement will involve supporting and automating a mixed infrastructure of Windows and Linux servers, mostly hosted within an Amazon Web Services environment.
