As an Apprentice Enablement Engineer, you’ll join a global team supporting the adoption and successful use of either Domain Services products and services or Sage Developer Portal and associated services. You’ll help create documentation, technical assets and onboarding experiences that enable internal teams and external partners to integrate with our platforms, building your knowledge of APIs, integrations, developer experience, AI-assisted ways of working and modern software engineering practices as you go.
You’ll:
Support engineering teams and partners who are integrating with Domain Services capabilities
Support Sage Technical Authors in the provision of technical documentation for partners and other Sage colleagues
Assist with the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, onboarding guides and knowledge articles
Help improve self-service resources and technical assets that make integrations easier to understand and use
Work with internal teams and, where appropriate, external partners to understand questions, issues and onboarding needs
Support testing and validation activities, with guidance from experienced colleagues
Learn and apply modern software engineering practices, tools and ways of working
Use AI-powered tools, such as Microsoft Copilot, to support learning, research, content creation and problem solving, reviewing AI-generated outputs carefully to check they are accurate, appropriate and useful
Look for opportunities to reduce manual work through better documentation, templates, automation or AI-assisted tools
Contribute ideas for improving processes, documentation and the overall developer experience
Be an active, positive and collaborative member of the team
What we are looking for
We welcome applications from people who are at the start of their career and ready to learn. You don’t need a degree or prior experience in software engineering, what matters most is your genuine interest in technology, your curiosity, and a desire to continuously develop.
To meet the entry requirements for the Level 4 apprenticeship, you’ll need:
Five GCSEs at grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths
Plus one of the following: an A-level, a Level 3 Apprenticeship or vocational qualification, ideally in IT, Computer Science, or a related STEM or vocational subject
Beyond that, you’ll stand out if you:
Have a genuine interest in technology, software development and digital products
Are willing to learn about APIs, integrations, cloud technologies and developer tools
Bring curiosity, problem-solving skills and a desire to continuously develop
Communicate clearly and work well with others, comfortable collaborating with technical teams and asking clear questions
Can organise your work and manage tasks with guidance from others
Are interested in using modern technologies, including AI-assisted tools, to improve learning and productivity, while using good judgement and asking for support when needed
Bring a positive attitude, take accountability for your own development, and are willing to learn from feedback
It would also be an advantage if you have a basic understanding of software development concepts, exposure to tools such as GitHub, Visual Studio Code or API testing tools, experience of using Microsoft Copilot or other AI tools as part of learning, study or personal projects, or an interest in developer experience, technical documentation or platform technologies, but none of these are essential.
Your Level 4 Apprenticeship: Applications Support Lead
Alongside your day-to-day role, you’ll study towards a recognised Level 4 Applications Support Lead apprenticeship qualification. The programme is designed to give you both the technical grounding and the professional skills to build a long-term career in engineering enablement, developer experience and platform technologies.
By the time you complete the programme, you’ll have a strong foundation in modern software engineering practices, technical communication, and developer enablement, giving you the skills and professional credibility to grow your career at Sage and beyond.
