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 Industrial Placement, 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 MSc Industrial Placement Scheme. Please speak to your University for further information.

Real impact from day one
Aligned to one platform (like Cloud Services or Digital Banking) for the period of your placement, you'll have the opportunity to join feature teams to have first-hand experience of the software development life cycle.

You may obtain 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 your Masters placement, you'll be on your way to gaining real experience in:

• Engineering-ready – skilled in coding, testing, and delivering at pace.

• 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 may have the opportunity to 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 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.

What you need to apply

•  This new programme is part of our strategic partnership with Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester and Imperial London universities.

• This placement will run from April-May until September 2026, start and end dates are flexible around your course timetable​. 

• If you do not meet these requirements then please don't worry, we still have plenty of other opportunities available on our graduate website.

• 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.

• A genuine passion for technology and the drive to keep learning.
