The Acuity Brands Software Engineering Leadership Program is a two-year rotational experience designed to develop high-potential candidates into software engineering leaders through hands-on experiences that synergize participants’ strengths with the needs of the business. Each Software Engineering Leadership Program Specialist spends their first 18 – 24 months of employment rotating every 6 months within the software engineering department to ensure that graduates of the program are prepared to succeed in all aspects of their field.
