Why the Developer Graduate Programme?



As a Developer, you’ll be the brains behind the design, installation, testing and maintenance of existing and new systems. This is more than playing around with code; you will be playing a critical role in finding innovative solutions to complex problems, for our clients and customers daily.

You’ll develop a solid understanding of the global markets and finance and make an impact right away. You’ll work in a varied and dynamic technical environment that includes Windows, Unix, C++, Java, C#, NoSql, MongoDB, Linux, Python, Hadoop, scripting languages, grid computing and real-time systems. You may:

• Design and innovate products using the newest technologies
• Provide an intelligence-led approach to cyber security
• Develop intuitive user interfaces for applications
• Optimise systems and applications
• Analyze code to improve processes
• Write scripts for data pulls and analysis
• Work with business areas to understand and meet their needs.



Technology at Barclays



Why build a career in Technology in our global business? Because this is where some of the industry’s biggest innovations were born – and you could create the next. Join us and work alongside industry experts who are behind major leaps in FinTech. You’ll be following our innovative learning programme which includes on-the-job training and valuable hands-on experience.

Come and work side by side with the brains behind our tech. This is more than just learning how to code; you’ll take on real, challenging work from the very start as you design, install, test and maintain new and existing systems. Together, let's continue designing innovative solutions, products and services for our colleagues, clients and customers around the world.



Who we are looking for

Locations and presence

Palpable Score

76.1
/ 100
Barclays gives graduates and students multiple reliable entry points through internships, a structured graduate programme (Explorer and Expert paths), apprenticeships, and an earlier Discovery programme. The main downside is that, despite clear official stage descriptions, candidate communication and closure can still feel uneven at scale. Learning support and early-career community design are strong, while published outcome metrics like conversion rates and time-to-promotion are still limited.
