Graduate Engineer - Application Engineering

Welcome to the Engineering Graduate Program at Mollie in Milan!

At Mollie, we’re on a mission to make payments and money management effortless for every business in Europe. We started 20 years ago when we launched a more direct, affordable way for companies to get paid. That provided an alternative to the frustrating, overpriced solutions that banks offered at the time.

Today, we serve more than 250,000 businesses across Europe with an all-in-one solution that simplifies payments and money management. And we’re a 850-strong team of product, finance, support, commerce, and engineering specialists working across Europe – from Lisbon to London.

Our Engineering Graduate Program is designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge, and experience you need to succeed in a dynamic fintech environment. If you're interested in solving key engineering problems within our Payments teams, we have a range of opportunities that will allow you to put your skills to the test and make a real impact.

The 15-month program begins in September 2025 and includes two rotations: the first lasting nine months and the second lasting six months. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience at one of Europe’s leading fintechs, collaborate with some of the best engineers in the industry, and deepen your understanding of Mollie’s business and how to thrive in a fast-paced work environment - all designed to give you the best possible start to your career!
