Help us create technology for millions
We’re the UK’s largest digital bank, with 20 million digitally active
users. But there’s still so much more we want to achieve. That’s why,
we’re investing up to £2bn each year in innovative tech like robotics,
machine learning and cloud technology. It’s transforming our business in
a multitude of ways, from advancing our collaboration with fintechs to
the technology learning culture we’re creating.
Join our team of expert Technology Engineers and you can play an
important role in our digital transformation. Learning new skills and
applying your ideas to a range of innovative projects, you’ll help
pioneer better, faster, and safer ways for our Group to serve customers
and move forward. And with so many opportunities to grow with us, your
own journey can be every bit as exciting as ours.
Is our Technology Engineering Graduate Scheme for you?
Passionate about tech? Love playing with code? Relish the challenge of
making digital tools even better? Engineering at Lloyds Banking Group
could be for you.
Our programme gives you the chance to explore the many varied and
exciting disciplines within Engineering and make a real, positive impact
to millions of customers, businesses and communities. Our learning
pathways can take you into Software, DevOps, Infrastructure, Quality,
Security Engineering and more. As you explore, you’ll develop detailed
knowledge of leading technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, , Azure and
Google Cloud.
Our Engineers collaborate widely with other technology teams on the
design, development, strategy, implementation and testing of quality
software solutions. So, if you like the idea of working and learning
from others on a range of pioneering projects, this scheme could be for
you.
Like our other Engineers, you’ll be a strong communicator and a great
team player. Not to mention, keen to always keep learning. We look for
people who are forward-thinking – people who are always looking ahead to
the next big breakthrough. We’ll want to see ideas that can put us at
the heart of future trends, optimise new opportunities, and make every
feature and function count.
What you’ll learn on the Technology Engineering Graduate Scheme
Over two years, you’ll gain a fantastic insight into the variety of
engineering roles we offer, helping you find an area you really enjoy.
You’ll join a different team on each of your three rotations and
experience a diverse range of projects. You could be working on
large-scale projects, writing code in different languages, creating
DevOps pipelines, building new features for our mobile app or creating a
robot that automatically restores our core banking services.
Whatever the challenge, you’ll learn how to use agile methodologies to
tackle it and see first-hand the difference your contribution can make.
Supported by your Engineering Lead, you can take up extra learning and
accreditations such as cloud training and certification courses. You'll
also have access to our market-leading on demand learning platform, as
well as the chance to network with other engineers at our hackathons,
which are sponsored by partners such as Google, Microsoft and IBM.
The work you could be doing
- Developing your coding skills using languages like JavaScript, C#,
Python, Swift, Node and Kotlin
- Helping to automate processes that save colleagues and customers time
- Testing new software to make sure it provides a seamless customer
experience
- Stress-testing customer journeys and finding ways to improve them
- Helping to build customer service infrastructure that’ll be used in
branches
