Software Developer - Apprenticeship

Transform the everyday for everyone

At Siemens, we enable sustainable progress through technology, connecting the real and digital worlds to improve how we live, work, and move.

We put our people first - creating a diverse, global environment where you can grow, take ownership, and make a real impact from day one.

Here, your ideas turn into innovative solutions that transform industries, infrastructure, mobility and everyday life.

Bring your potential. We’ll take it further.

Your role:

As a Software Developer Apprentice , you will join the Last Mile Experiences Software Factory in Milan, a team that designs, builds and runs business applications for Siemens’ internal processes. As part of a global team, we build solutions designed to scale across Siemens globally, starting with Italy as the first country to adopt them. Your day-to-day activities will include developing features on our low-code and full-stack platforms and turning business needs into working software, in close collaboration with process owners, key users and fellow developers.

Your growth journey

This role is designed as a structured entry path into the professional world. From day one, you will combine on-the-job experience and training, supported by a dedicated tutor who will guide your learning.

You will progressively build your skills through real projects, gaining increasing autonomy over time and contributing to impactful activities aligned with your strengths and interests.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Developing new features and applications with Mendix and with Praxis (Node.js, React, PostgreSQL), guided by senior developers and your tutor.
• Understanding how an internal business process works, what its users really need, and how a digital solution can simplify it and create value.
• Contributing to solutions that are designed once and rolled out to many countries, starting from Italy.
• Taking part in the whole lifecycle of an application: analysis, design, development, testing, release and support, following our agile delivery process (GitLab, code reviews, automated pipelines).
• helping share key learnings across the team.

What makes you a great match:

• First exposure to Mendix (e.g. university projects or the free Mendix learning paths) or a clear interest in learning low-code development
• Above all, a genuine eagerness to learn: you are curious, ask questions and enjoy discovering new technologies and how businesses work
• Strong team spirit and a collaborative mindset
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• A practical, problem-solving attitude
• Fluency in both Italian and English

Preferred Requirements

• Familiarity with Git, PostgreSQL, Docker or cloud platforms

• Experience with React, TypeScript or other modern web frameworks

What you’ll benefit from:

At Siemens, we foster a results-driven and trust-based environment, offering a flexible hybrid working model that supports both performance and work-life balance.

You’ll have access to a comprehensive wellbeing ecosystem, including health reimbursement programs and psychological support services.

Through continuous learning opportunities, you’ll be able to build your skills and explore your potential from the very beginning of your career.

For apprenticeship contracts, the indicative gross annual salary range is between €28,475 and €39,350, depending on the candidate’s educational background. The apprenticeship program includes defined salary steps: compensation increases progressively based on seniority and the acquisition of skills, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL).
