And it isn’t just about building your technical skills. There's plenty of scope for personal growth too, as you’ll receive high-quality training designed to drive forward your development. Plus, you won't be navigating this alone. There will be a dedicated manager, a professional mentor, and a peer buddy by your side to support and guide you every step of the way.

What you’ll need

We don’t mind what degree or grades you have, but we want to see:

• You have a good foundation of coding skills (in any language).
• You have the flexibility and aptitude for problem solving and the learning it takes to master lots of different tools and technologies.
• How you communicate and collaborate with others.
• Your enthusiasm for tech and Capital One.

The Recruitment Process

• Step 1: Apply! We don’t screen CV’s so there’s no need to tailor your CV or attach a cover letter. If you meet the eligibility criteria you will be sent online testing to complete, which will assess the core skills required for the role.
• Step 2: One-way video interview, looking at your motivations for the role and some examples where you’ve shown the soft skills we’re looking for.
• Step 3: Virtual assessment day, consisting of a pair programming exercise and a presentation and strengths based interview.
• Step 4: In-person final interview with one of our Senior Software Engineering Managers, and the opportunity to look around our office.

Where and how you'll work

This is a 10-week fixed-term position based in our Nottingham office.

We embrace a hybrid approach to work. You'll spend three days a week in the office (Tuesday-Thursday), with Monday and Friday being optional work-from-home days.

Our offices are designed to inspire and support you. At our Nottingham head office, you'll find an on-site gym, restaurant and dedicated Learning Loft. Our London office boasts a rooftop running track and coffee bar.

What you should know about how we recruit

We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it’s about what you do, not just what you say. That’s why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible.

We value diversity, inclusion and belonging at our core. We empower our associates to do great work by creating an inclusive culture—one that values diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration and encourages innovative ideas—and a place where associates of all backgrounds can thrive by bringing their most authentic selves to work. We call this our Culture of Belonging, and it rests at the heart of our business.

Our associate-led Business Resource Groups were created to help support our diverse population and include over 10 groups across our offices. Because each Business Resource Group is as unique as the population it serves, they offer a range of activities, networking opportunities, special events and learning programmes to associates.

Capital One is committed to diversity in the workplace.
