About the role

You will spend your first year in our web, data and AI teams in turn, with a written plan for each rotation. You will write production code from the first month and learn how we test and review it.

You will also learn to use coding assistants without handing them your judgement. The track is designed to take you to mid-level in about two years.

What you will do

  1. Write, test and release production code under review
  2. Rotate through web, data and AI teams across your first year
  3. Learn our review, testing and release practices
  4. Keep a short weekly log of what you learned and what you are stuck on

A typical week

How the hours split in a typical week. Agents draft and check some tasks; you decide what happens next.

An illustrative split. In your first conversation, the hiring lead talks you through how the week runs.

What you bring

  • A degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent evidence of skill
  • Projects you built yourself: a repository link matters more than grades
  • Comfort with one programming language
  • Curiosity about how things work under the hood

Nice to have

  • Contributions to open source
  • An internship at a product or services company

None of this is required. If you have most of the list above, apply.

    Your first rotation review, and the plan for the next team

A hand-drawn goal review on dot-grid paper: tallies for weeks one to eleven beside an assess-and-plan column, two pens resting on the page.
The plan is written down before your first day, and you review it with your lead as the weeks go by.

Where you would work

What helps an application

  • One project you could talk through for half an hour.
  • If you used AI, a line on how you checked what it produced.
  • Plain words are fine. We read for substance.

Adjustments. Need extra time, questions in advance, captions or another format? Tell us on the form or by email. Asking never counts against you.
