Can you work from home as a software engineering specialist in the UK?
6 of the 16 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 5 fully remote and 1 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate software engineering specialist jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
