The Technology Industrial Placement Program is a 12-month internship in which you will gain experience across 2x 6-month placements in Application Development or Enterprise Engineering teams. These programs are designed to offer a real-world, project-based experience that will demonstrate first-hand what it is like to be a technologist for a top financial firm. Industrial Placement interns who excel on the program may receive an offer to join the Full-time Technology Training Program.
Our development teams build applications that enable our business to perform. Covering the full software development lifecycle, day to day they typically meet with clients to gather and analyse requirements; determine, design and develop the optimal solutions for the problems our clients face; then test, deploy and enhance the applications in production. They work on a wide range of applications from streamlining complex reporting workflows to high-performing, low-latency electronic trading systems.
Our engineering teams build cutting edge platforms to run every aspect of our business. This includes the Firm's networks, cyber security infrastructure, cloud integration, computing hardware, databases and much more. Projects available include developing pioneering data security solutions, managing global Windows and Linux infrastructure deployments, driving cloud adoption and working with state-of-the-art technology solutions. Our engineers work closely with internal business partners and external vendors at the forefront of the industry.
