186 more open roles across 75 firms are on Jorb AI.
This is the first season we have followed most of these firms, so next year this page will say when each one is likely to open.
Our record follows 109 firms for software engineering in the 2027–28 placements round, and 75 of them list roles today; the firm table names each one.
Between them they post 191 roles, and the roles listed are the newest of them. Since the round began on 1 June 2026, 106 of these firms have posted at least one.
The three firms we checked that state a deadline set it between late September and late November: Airbus's listing gave 27 September 2026, J.P. Morgan's 1 November 2026, and Lloyds Banking Group's page gives 29 November.
Lloyds' page says applications open on 10 September and may close early if it receives a high number of applications. BAE Systems' page gives no closing date for its 2027 placements, says some opportunities may close without notice, and says its main recruitment window commences from the beginning of September. Each firm opens on its own day, which the firm table gives.
Among the firms we checked, Lloyds Banking Group asks for students in their penultimate year at university, Airbus takes undergraduates only, and BAE Systems asks for students on course for a 2:2 bachelor's degree in a related subject.
Lloyds sets no minimum projected degree and asks for knowledge of at least one modern programming language or framework. Airbus takes students of electrical, electronics or mechatronics engineering, software engineering or IT. BAE Systems says a student due to graduate before the placement begins is not eligible. J.P. Morgan's listing states no eligibility.
Of the placements we checked, Lloyds Banking Group's and J.P. Morgan's run for 12 months and Airbus's for 12.5 months, while BAE Systems' page describes 6 or 12 month programmes and lists 12 month industrial placements.
Lloyds pays £29,000 in Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds or Manchester, with at least two days a week in the office. BAE Systems' placement salaries start from £25,900 pro rata, its placements begin in June 2027, and its Software Engineer role sits at Broad Oak, Cowes, Great Baddow, New Malden and Yeovil. Airbus's listing gave £24,246 at Filton, Bristol, from 16 August 2027. J.P. Morgan's listing names no pay or place.
At Lloyds Banking Group and J.P. Morgan, a placement student works with experienced engineers on software, with structured learning beside the hands-on work.
Lloyds' students work on the applications, platforms and digital services its customers and colleagues use, in languages including Java, Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift, Rust and Golang, learning cloud development, automation and continuous testing. J.P. Morgan's students work with experienced engineers to design and deliver reliable software on technology projects, with mentorship.
75 firms are open for software engineering industrial placements right now, each with its own portal, documents and deadline. Jorb AI's application agent handles the multi-firm workload in one place, tailoring a CV and cover letter for each role you pursue and tracking each application alongside the rest.
“Opened” is the date the firm posted a role, or the day Jorb AI first saw it on the firm’s own careers site, which we check daily. “No longer listed” means the posting has been gone for a few days. Last season’s dates are shown only for firms we were already following when that season began.
Open counts every listing still open, including those first seen before 1 June; Opened this season counts only those first seen since.
