We’re the UK’s largest digital bank, with 22 million digitally active customers. But we’re just getting started. That’s why we’re investing up to £3bn each year in cutting-edge tech like AI and cloud technology. We’re transforming our business in countless ways, from fintech collaborations to creating a tech-driven learning culture.  
 

Be a key player in our transformation. Learn new skills, bring your ideas to life on innovative projects, and help us power up better, faster, and safer ways to serve our customers. With endless growth opportunities, grab the chance to start a career that means something.

Our programme lets you dive into all kinds of tech engineering, making a real impact on millions of customers, businesses, and communities. You could explore areas like Software Engineering, DevOps, Quality Engineering, Cyber Security, and more. Along the way you’ll get hands-on with top tech,  developing skills such as containerisation, source control, DevOps pipelines, Cloud skills and API development and integration. 
 

Our Engineers work closely with their labs on design, development, strategy, implementation, and testing. If you love collaborating and learning from others on groundbreaking products, this scheme is definitely for you.

Whatever the challenge, you’ll learn and apply Agile methodology and see the difference your work makes. Supported by your Engineering Lead, you can take up extra learning and certifications such as cloud training courses. Plus, you’ll have access to our market-leading on-demand learning platforms and opportunities to network at hackathons sponsored by Google, Microsoft, and IBM.  
 

You’ll be matched up with a buddy or mentor to support you and offer guidance throughout the scheme, and you’ll have access to technical and business-aligned training, including platforms such as Viva Learning and Learning Management systems, to further help your development.   
 

With opportunities for extracurricular activities to expand your skills and experience across the bank, and with introductions to colleague networks, you’ll make great connections to further your career.
