Valued qualities

We’re looking for enthusiastic, capable and motivated computer science and/or engineering majors who want to directly contribute to our business from day one. No matter your background, we’re looking for those with a strong interest in financial services and excellent coding skills. Our teams work collaboratively, so we’re looking for those who have excellent teamwork and demonstrated leadership abilities.

You should have excellent coding skills, be able to manage relationships with clients, and have exceptional problem solving and analytical thinking skills. We’re looking for those who are intellectually curious, collaborative and open to new challenges, as well as being able to take ownership of projects to bring them to fruition.

This 10-week internship will give you the opportunity to learn about our technology business, build your coding skills and prepare you for your career. You could work on projects that deliver real solutions for our customers, clients and businesses. No matter if you’re working on payment solutions or trading algorithms, you’ll see tangible results from your work.

On-the-job experience

From the start, you’ll have the support you need to succeed. Dive head-first and gain hands-on experience creating innovative solutions that make a difference for our customers, clients and employees. You’ll be given a peer mentor who completed the Software Engineer Internship to help you navigate the firm and the program. A senior engineer will also check in with you to offer advice, help make connections and oversee your development. Our managers receive extensive training on how to help interns to make the most of their program. You’ll have clear priorities and opportunities for check ins throughout the internship to make sure you’re achieving your goals.

Interns are encouraged to take time to explore, shadowing other teams and networking with various people. We offer social events and other activities in our business resource groups to help you expand your professional network across our lines of business. You’ll also work in teams with other interns to solve a business challenge or on a project assigned specifically to your group. 

Training

You'll begin with an induction covering our tech strategies, products and systems, as well as an overview of our technology community. You'll work on agile teams with peers and experienced software engineers to grow your skills, share ideas and innovate with our technology community all over the world, as well as gain deeper insight into what it means to work here through networking events, senior speaker sessions and peer-mentorship programs.

We also host a global hack-a-thon where you’ll work alongside our engineers to solve real business challenges in a fun, collaborative environment. Because we’re always looking for new ways to innovate, your ideas and contributions are welcome from the beginning.

Throughout the course of the summer, you’ll hear from senior leaders during our speaker series and have other opportunities for training on technical and professional skills.
