Job Description
Build Tech That Millions Rely On
With 22 million digitally active customers and a tech transformation underway, we’re not tinkering at the edges. We’re reinventing how banking and finance works – and as a Technology Engineering Graduate, you’ll be right at the heart of it.
We’re one of the biggest investors in technology, putting up to £3bn a year into new tools, apps, platforms and new ways of working. We’ve set ourselves the challenge of building banking that’s safer, smarter, and simpler for everyone.
This is where theory meets action. You won’t just code – you’ll create, test and deploy solutions that millions rely on every day. You’ll focus on engineering, development, and deployment – the practical build of the solutions that bring ideas to life.
One important note: if your passion lies in AI and machine learning, this isn’t the scheme for you. Those roles sit within our Data Science and AI Graduate Scheme.
Two years. Real impact
Aligned to one platform (like Cloud Services or Digital Banking) for two years, you’ll rotate across feature teams to see the whole software development life cycle.
Expect hands-on experience in:
• Software Engineering – coding in Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, Kotlin, Swift.
• DevOps – building pipelines and automating releases.
• Quality Assurance – testing, refining and improving customer journeys.
This isn’t work experience. This is work that matters – from improving mobile banking journeys to strengthening customer security – and delivering value to millions every day.
What your work could look like
• Building new app features.
• Automating processes to save thousands of hours.
• Engineering the cloud infrastructure that keeps us running.
• Stress-testing customer journeys.
• Collaborating on solutions that make banking safer and simpler.
The skills you’ll master
By the end of the scheme, you’ll be:
• Engineering-ready – skilled in coding, testing, and delivering at pace.
• Cloud-certified – with industry-recognised accreditations such as GCP.
• Agile-minded – comfortable working in sprints, squads and labs.
• Customer-focused – building tech that meets real needs.
• Collaboration-driven – experienced in cross-functional teamwork.
Along the way, you’ll take part in hackathons (sponsored by the likes of Google and Microsoft), showcase your skills at awards, and even help shape the future of the scheme itself through graduate feedback and innovation challenges.
Support to succeed
You’ll get:
• In-house training on “Engineering the Lloyds Way.”
• A buddy and experienced mentors to guide you through.
• Agile learning culture with access to Viva Learning, Learning Management Systems and on-demand courses.
• Networking opportunities with colleagues across the Group.
It all adds up to targeted training that matches your platform and role, helping you build expertise from day one.
Benefits
We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:
• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 22 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
Requirements
What you need to apply
• While we do not require a set minimum degree achievement, we strongly recommend the ability to be able to demonstrate sound knowledge, understanding and technical skills aligned to the role. Some aspects of this will be assessed through the application process.
• Knowledge of at least one modern programming language or framework.
• A genuine passion for technology and the drive to keep learning.
• We are unable to offer sponsorship for this programme and you must have full, unlimited right to work in the UK.
Locations
Bristol, Edinburgh, Halifax, Leeds, London and Manchester. With our hybrid working policy, all colleagues spend at least two days a week in the office.
Opening and Closing date
Applications for the Technology Engineering Graduate Scheme will open on 24th September 2025.
Our graduate schemes may close early if we receive a high number of applications, so it’s best to apply as soon as possible.

Our application process is designed to help you shine. We want everyone to feel they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture.
