Software Development
A summer at Baillie Gifford could kickstart your career in technology. As an independent, global investment management business, information systems underpin everything we do. That’s why we’re constantly investing in developing our software – and in the team of professionals who bring it to life. Come in and show us what you can do.
Applications will open in September 2024.
How to apply
Applications will open in September 2024.
We will be open and honest with you at every stage of the process, allowing you to ask questions throughout and giving you a clear idea of what it's like to work at Baillie Gifford.
Our general application resources will guide you through the process in more detail, but here is a summary.
Stage 1
To get started, we ask you to:
- complete a short online application form
- attach your CV
We will review your application to learn more about you and assess whether you have the ability, attributes and curiosity to take on our internship. Like you, we are fans of generative AI. We are happy for you to use it responsibly as a tool to generate and communicate your ideas clearly, but don’t expect it to do the heavy lifting for you.
Stage 2
If selected, you will be invited to a Zoom interview with colleagues from our Information Systems department. We will review your CV with you and discuss your academic and professional choices so far, together with some critical skills-based questions similar to competency questions.
Stage 3
The final stage is more in-depth. You will attend an assessment centre with other applicants, where we will assess your abilities in more detail through a second interview and some group-based exercises. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and meet other colleagues, including our current trainees.
