About The Technology Graduate Programme

From day one, you’ll be coding. Not shadowing, not just watching – you’ll be building.

Over 18 months, you’ll rotate across teams every six months. You’ll explore the front end, back end, DevOps and product – working within agile, cross‑functional squads alongside senior and junior developers who are there to support your growth. This is a rare opportunity to learn in the real world, backed by mentorship, and surrounded by a team that wants to see you succeed.

What You’ll Do

  • Contribute to production code that reaches real users
  • Build scalable, reliable and performant software
  • Learn and apply engineering best practices across the stack
  • Collaborate with engineers, designers and product managers to solve meaningful problems
  • Explore different areas of the tech team via team rotations
  • Be part of the full software development lifecycle in an agile environment

Requirements

  • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field (Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD)
  • Recent graduates or 1–2 years working in industry post‑degree
  • Solid programming and software design fundamentals
  • Experience with relational databases and a strong grasp of data structures and algorithms
  • An interest in full‑stack development – from UI to infrastructure
  • Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills
  • Curiosity, humility and a passion for learning and technology
  • Great knowledge of at least one programming language such as Java, JavaScript, Python or C++

You don’t need to tick every box – if you’re motivated to learn fast, take ownership early and build technology that solves real problems for real people, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Get From Blink

  • An 18‑month structured programme with hands‑on learning and real responsibility
  • Exposure to a wide variety of technologies and teams
  • A fast‑paced, supportive environment where innovation is celebrated
  • The experience of being part of a mission‑led startup that’s scaling globally
  • Mentorship from experienced engineers and product leaders
  • A culture that celebrates inclusion, creativity and growth
  • Flexible working and wellbeing support
  • A clear path to a permanent role after successful completion of the programme

Benefits

Competitive salary

  • Stock options on starting and additional high‑performer grants annually
  • 25 days’ leave plus public holidays
  • Additional time off between Christmas and New Year
  • Private healthcare with AXA
  • 3% employer pension contribution when you contribute 5%
