Engineering Graduate Programme

Engineering Graduate Programme

Programme start date: September 2026

Do you have a passion for building technology that powers global financial markets? Do you enjoy solving complex engineering problems, developing scalable systems, and working with modern technologies? Do you thrive in collaborative environments where innovation, automation, and engineering excellence are key?

Our Engineering Graduate Programme provides the ideal springboard for an exciting and meaningful career in software engineering, cloud engineering or DevOps within a global market-leading organisation.

To be eligible you must be a final-year undergraduate or Master’s student in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology or a related STEM discipline, and have completed all the requirements of your course before August/September 2026, or be a recent graduate from the class of 2025.

Areas of Focus

For this role, we are looking for graduates interested in pursuing a career across one of the following areas:

• Backend Engineering (Python, Java, C#, .NET, Node.js)
• Full-Stack Development (React, Angular, JavaScript/TypeScript + backend languages)
• Cloud Engineering (Azure, AWS – compute, containers, serverless, cloud architecture)
• DevOps & Automation (CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Terraform)

You will work on engineering solutions supporting LSEG’s critical systems, platforms and applications used across global financial markets.

We will also support you in exploring different engineering areas by connecting you with mentors, teams and technical communities across LSEG to help you shape your long-term engineering path.

Our Engineering Graduate Programme is a 12-month development opportunity designed for technically curious individuals who want to build, automate, optimise and scale technology that matters.

Highlights of the Graduate Programme

• Progress through a 12-month development journey aimed at building the foundational engineering skills needed for your career
• Build your foundational knowledge of LSEG, Financial Markets, and our technology landscape during your global induction
• Work on group projects aligned to LSEG’s strategic goals
• Meet in person with your cohort at Ignite, the programme mid-point skills offsite
• Access opportunities to earn industry-recognised cloud or DevOps certifications
• Connect with the global Early Careers community and contribute to wider society through CSR and volunteering opportunities

Our graduates join us on a permanent basis, and from day one you will be aligned to an engineering team, giving you a secure framework in which to grow and develop. During recruitment, we will explore your skills and interests to ensure you are placed in the right engineering vertical.
