With over 25 million customers – 17.4 million of them digitally active – we're far and away the largest UK digital and retail bank. And in 2020, Euromoney named us the Best Digital Bank in Western Europe.
All of this was made possible, of course, by our dedicated software engineers. And with the help of cloud technologies, advanced robotics, machine learning and whole raft of other ground-breaking innovations, they still have a crucial role to play in meeting our customers’ changing needs.

Along with structured training sessions, you’ll have opportunities to build a network of colleagues and peers who can help you with your development. We'll help you build your leadership skills and give you the chance to volunteer for extracurricular activities, like helping improve people’s digital skills or getting involved in hackathons. And if you do well, you could even score a fast-track assessment for our Software Engineering Graduate Scheme.
