Job description

You can register your interest in our 2026 Technology Grad Scheme here. Applications will open for the London office in September.

We will only look to accept an individual's application to one office so, please make sure to apply to your preferred location. Applying to multiple locations causes delays to the process.

About the programme:

This is an 18–24-month rotational programme available in London, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. The successful hires will have the opportunity to work across multiple (up to six) technology teams in their relevant office. The variety of this programme will enable you to build a solid foundation and gain exposure to different technologies, development styles, and areas of our business.

• The programme takes your input into account; combining your interests with areas where your contribution will make the most impact.
• The programme includes highly personalised mentoring, regular seminars with senior managers and key staff, social events and opportunities to participate in the firm’s charitable activities.
• At any time, you’ll be working on one or two projects, with direct business impact, while supervised by a supportive team that values open communication.

What's Involved?

Which rotations you embark on will be unique to you, based on your skills and interests. This will likely involve a mixture of Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Cyber Security and Data Engineering.

To give a flavour of the sorts of work our graduates do however, some project examples are:

• Benchmarking and onboarding a high-performance distributed database
• Building developer tooling to improve safety in stream processing systems
• Writing data pipelines that feed into systematic trading models
• Creating a platform to provide insights into and improve trade optimisation & performance
• Redesigning the core library used for the Technology Team’s CI/CD platform

Why join us?

Technology is at our core. It’s industry-defining and best-in-class, but we are striving for even more. You’ll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies while learning from some of the best technicians in the business.

As a technology graduate, this is a chance to accelerate your skill set and gain invaluable real-world experience. You will be continually challenged to learn new skills, work on novel tasks, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

On our programmes, there are no small cogs in big wheels. Our teams are lean, responsibilities are ample, and opportunities are there for the taking. As a graduate, you will have the chance to work across a wide variety of projects and see them through from start to finish, gaining hands-on experience and making a real impact from day one.

What we're looking for?

We’re looking for people that want to make the right start in their careers. We want people who have a passion for technology and who like to do things differently.

While a Computer Science degree is not a requirement, we are looking for candidates who have continuously honed their technical and programming skills. This could include participation in internship programs, hackathons, or personal projects pursued in their spare time.

We also really believe that the right person is more than just a technical expert. We place real value on team-working, entrepreneurialism and great communication skills. We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about collaborating with colleagues across the organization and are proactive in proposing fresh ideas.
