Explore the world of Barclays as a Part Time Developer

Join us as a Part Time Developer (20 hours per week ) alongside your university studies and gain hands-on experience through real projects that make an impact. You’ll take on meaningful responsibilities from the start, with support from your line manager and colleagues, while building your technical skills and understanding of Barclays.

You’ll make connections, expand your knowledge and gain valuable experience to help shape your future career, all while discovering what makes our culture unique.

Why the Technology Developer programme?

As a Developer, you’ll help design, build, test and maintain systems used across Barclays. This is more than writing code; you’ll play a role in solving complex problems for clients and customers. You may work with technologies including Java, C++, C#, Python, SQL, NoSQL, JavaScript/TypeScript, containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD, DevOps, cloud technologies including AWS and Docker, machine learning and AI, scripting languages, grid computing and real-time systems.

During the programme, you could:

• Design and develop technology solutions using modern tools and technologies

• Build intuitive applications and user experiences

• Improve and optimise existing systems, applications and processes

• Use data, scripting and automation to solve problems

• Work with colleagues across the business to understand their needs and develop effective technology solutions

Part Time Developers will join across two cohorts in 2027, starting in April and August.

This position is for our April 2027 cohort. Applications for the August 2027 cohort will open separately in March/April 2027.

To be considered for this programme, you must be able to code in at least one language and be in your 3rd or 4th year of a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) degree, but it isn't essential.

Ideally, you’ll also bring a genuine interest in technology with the drive to solve financial challenges with innovative solutions, and an ambition to design and deliver the next technological breakthrough.
