Working as a software engineer in France
Software engineering is not a regulated profession, but the title "ingénieur diplômé" is reserved for graduates of CTI-accredited schools, and many large employers recruit primarily from engineering schools or university master's programmes. ESNs (IT services companies) are a major entry point and place engineers with clients. Defence and some aerospace positions can require security clearance and may be limited by nationality. English is common in product teams, less so in banks and public sector projects. Search for "ingénieur logiciel", "ingénieur informatique", "ingénieur études et développement", "ingénieur backend", "ingénieur logiciel embarqué" or "software engineer".
