We're recruiting motivated individuals to join a fully-funded 9-month program that includes hands-on training and a paid internship. You'll be placed on real projects within the engineering teams that build and run a high-performance trading platform, where speed, reliability, and data are everything.

This is ideal for career switchers who want to build a career in tech, and it's an especially strong fit if you're coming from finance, banking, trading, customer service, or operations. Your industry knowledge becomes an asset the moment you can code.

Successful applicants will receive:

• Fully funded 9-month Software Engineering Program with Holberton School Australia
• Paid Internship
• Hands-on, project-based curriculum designed around real-world applications, peer collaboration, and industry-relevant technologies.

What You'll Learn

• Building and integrating APIs
• System design, debugging, and agile workflows

Who This Is For

• Career switchers or up-skillers with little or no background in tech
• A background in finance, banking, or markets is a bonus, not a requirement
• Must have full Australian working rights
• People who are ready to commit full-time and take on a steep learning curve
• No degrees or prior coding experience needed - just the motivation to make a change

Applications Open: Now

Program Start Date: October 12th, 2026.
