Area of Interest: Engineering
Business Area: Global Chief Information Office
Short Description
Develop in-demand engineering skills on technology that supports banking worldwide.
About the business area
Our technology teams sit within our Group Chief Information Office (GCIO), building the digital platforms, systems, and products our customers and colleagues use every day, keeping assets and data secure, and delivering exceptional digital experiences.
Engineering builds and supports the systems that help the bank function smoothly and adapt to changing customer and business needs. The department focuses on delivering dependable, high-quality technology solutions that are secure, scalable, and fit for purpose.
Who you are
You’re curious, collaborative, and motivated by solving real problems with technology. What matters most here isn’t having everything figured out already — it’s your mindset, your willingness to learn, and how you work with others. You could be a great fit if you enjoy breaking down complex challenges, thinking logically, and building high-quality solutions. You care about doing things well, take pride in your work, and want to keep improving. You’re comfortable sharing ideas, listening to different perspectives, and working with people across teams, cultures, and locations. Technology moves fast, and that excites you rather than puts you off. If you’re eager to grow your technical skills, explore new tools, and help build solutions that make a real difference at scale, this could be the right place for you.
What you'll do
You’ll work with engineers and other technology colleagues on projects that support HSBC’s digital-first approach. Depending on your team, you could help develop new products and services, improve existing ones, and support software that keeps the business moving. You’ll meet engineers, architects, and colleagues across the wider business, and get hands-on with coding frameworks, programming languages, AI tools, and modern ways of working across development and operations. You may also help monitor performance, investigate technical issues, and suggest improvements. It’s practical engineering work, with support from experienced colleagues, on technology used by people and customers around the world. The internship also includes structured assessments aligned to securing a graduate role, giving you chances to demonstrate how you think, collaborate, and deliver, through tasks such as project work, presentations, interviews, or skills-based evaluations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll learn
You’ll build your engineering foundation through a mix of technical training, skills development, and practical learning. Along the way, you’ll deepen your understanding of how systems are designed, tested, and maintained to support change across HSBC. You’ll explore coding languages, tech stacks, and engineering best practice through classroom sessions and self-led learning, while also developing wider professional skills through workshops and coaching. Community and volunteering projects linked to your local office will help you grow beyond the technical side too. By the end of the internship, you’ll have stronger engineering confidence, a better understanding of how technology supports the bank, and a clearer sense of how you could continue your career in this space.
Where you'll work
You’ll work in HSBC’s engineering community within the Global Chief Information Office, alongside teams building and supporting technology used across the bank. It’s a collaborative environment where engineers, architects, and delivery teams work together across products, platforms, and markets. You’ll be part of a modern office culture that values curiosity, experimentation, and shared problem-solving. Expect a setting where technology is central to change and where teamwork helps turn ideas into scalable solutions.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take your next step – and if you perform well, you could secure your place on our graduate programme to continue your career in technology at HSBC.

We only accept one application per recruitment cycle, so please take time to explore our opportunities before applying as we may not be able to transfer your application to other vacancies.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and we may close this vacancy earlier than the advertised closing date if we receive a high volume of applications. Please apply as soon as possible to be considered.
Additional information
This particular program does not satisfy the Home Office eligibility criteria for visa sponsorship. We therefore can only progress applications from candidates who can demonstrate that they are eligible to work in the UK without HSBC sponsorship for the full duration of, and beyond, the programme end date. We cannot progress applications from candidates who apply with a graduate visa as you would not be eligible for sponsorship by HSBC when your current visa expires. You will need to confirm what visa you hold, if any, and its expiry date when you apply for us to verify your eligibility when you apply.
