Salary : 45000 in Nottingham plus a 5000 joining bonus and other benefits

Location : Nottingham only

Start date : 14th September 2026

Eligibility : Open to any final year students graduating in 2026 or those who have graduated in 2025. (This includes undergraduates, masters and PhD students)

Closing date : 3rd November 2025 (subject to close early)

As we recruit on a rolling basis we recommend applying as soon as you can.

Using technology to drive real and meaningful change. That's one good thing.

At Capital One we are on a mission : to change credit one good thing at a time. You might think of us as a credit card company. But the truth is we're just as much a technology business. And we're here to make a positive difference to our customers, our colleagues and community.

Our Tech teams challenge the status quo and make an impact on millions of customers every single day. And that's what makes a career in technology here like nowhere else. During the Graduate programme you will be able to rotate into three different teams which will give you a broad and varied experience allowing you to hone your skills and strengths before choosing which area you'd like to explore more.

Responsibilities

• Working on customer experience and journeys across our apps and website creating backend APIs alongside our Services teams.
• Making sure our systems are stable and reliable in our Site Reliability teams.
• Working with our Data Engineering teams to ensure all the information we store is safe and secure but ready to be accessed at a moment's notice.
• Supporting our Cloud teams as we finish our migration to AWS.
• Optionally rotate outside of tech after your first rotation into another business area if there are any other areas you would like to explore.

What you'll need

• You have a good foundation of coding skills (in any language).
• You have the flexibility and aptitude for the learning it takes to master lots of different tools and technologies.
• Your approach when it comes to coding and how you solve problems.
• How you communicate and collaborate with others.
• Your enthusiasm about tech and Capital One.

The Recruitment Process

1. Step 1 : Apply! We don't screen CVs so there's no need to tailor your CV or attach a cover letter. After your initial application if you meet the eligibility criteria you will be sent online testing to complete which will assess the core skills required for the role.
2. Step 2 : Next up you will be invited to complete a one way video interview looking at your motivations for the role and some examples where you've shown the soft skills we are looking for.
3. Step 3 : You'll get to (virtually) meet with two members of our tech team during the assessment day which consists of a pair programming exercise and a presentation and strengths based interview.
4. Step 4 : The final interview where you will be invited to meet with one of our Senior Software Managers in person. This is a great opportunity for you to have a look around our offices and learn more about life as a grad from one of our own.

Whats in it for you

• Outstanding learning and career development through our Capital One Develop UK training programmes (and appropriate external providers).
• Core benefits including a pension scheme, bonus, generous holidays, private medical insurance.
• Flexible benefits including season-ticket loans and a cycle to work scheme.
• Open-plan workspaces and accessible facilities designed to support and inspire you including a fully serviced gym, subsidised restaurant, mindfulness and games rooms.
• Plenty of volunteering opportunities to give back to the community through our community impact and investment programmes.
• Regular social events run by our GradComm team as well as an annual company-wide summer festival and Christmas party.
• You can even help to shape how our early careers programmes look for future graduates by joining one of our working groups or becoming a buddy / mentor yourself.

Work location and flexibility

This is a permanent position based at our Nottingham office. We have a hybrid working model which gives you flexibility to work from our offices and from home. We're big on collaboration and connection so you'll be based in our Nottingham office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Many of our associates have flexible working arrangements and we are open to talking about an arrangement that works for you.

Diversity & Inclusion

We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent – whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it's about what you do, not just what you say. That's why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible.

We are committed to creating teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve. We welcome applications from everyone and would particularly love to hear from you if you identify with an under-represented group in our industry such as women, the LGBTQ community and ethnic minority candidates.

We also partner with organisations including the Women in Finance and Race At Work Charters Stonewall and upReach to find people from every walk of life and help them thrive with us. We have a whole host of internal networks and support groups you could be involved in: REACH, OutFront, Mind Your Mind, Women in Tech, EmpowHER, Enabled, GreenTeam.
