About the Programme

Get a taste of working in a fast-paced, tech-led environment. Our intern programme provides the opportunity to work directly with our Development teams. These projects support areas such as Finance, Operations, Risk, Trading, and Portfolio Management.

During your internship, you will gain hands-on experience with a multitude of technologies and disciplines such as devops, data engineering, cyber security, web development, business intelligence, software engineering, and stream processing.

What do we want?

This internship is ideal for an innovative problem solver who can demonstrate inventive and creative use of technology. Successful participants may have the possibility to return full-time as a graduate when they complete their studies.

We don’t specifically look for those on a Computer Science degree but do look for those who have actively developed technical programming skills. This could be on previous internship programmes, through hackathon involvement, or even just completing passion projects in your free time. We also look for exceptional academic achievement and impressive communication and collaboration skills.

We value teamwork, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong communication skills. This isn’t a scheme for someone who wants to sit quietly behind a desk.

Note: our programme in New York only looks for penultimate-year students to allow us to convert successful interns into graduates in 2028.

What’s involved?

During the internship programme, you will hone your software and programming skills while building an understanding of our business and financial markets. You’ll join a cutting-edge team with the ability to assume as much responsibility and autonomy as you can take on.

The selection of intern projects is a collaborative process. The Technology team proposes project ideas that could benefit the team or the wider business. Senior managers choose the projects that promise the most significant impact. You will collaborate directly with the team that proposed the project, typically working in pairs.

Throughout your internship, you will receive comprehensive support from our teams, including an initial induction, a performance review at the end of your tenure, personalized mentoring, regular seminars with senior managers and key staff, social events, and opportunities to engage in the firm’s charitable activities. At the conclusion of your internship, you will present your project to the Technology team.

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

1. Integrating AI tools into bespoke systems.
2. Creating a UI to visualise and explore connections across our estate.
3. Building alert tooling.

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 intern, this is a chance to accelerate your skill set and gain invaluable real-world experience.
