About the Programme
This is an 18-24 month rotational programme available in London, New York and Singapore. The successful hires will have the opportunity to work across multiple (up to six) technology teams. The variety of this programme will enable you to build a strong foundation and gain exposure to different technologies, development styles, and areas of our business.
Applications for all international offices have been re-opened over the holidays. We will re-close New York and London applications 06/01/2025 as limited positions are available. If you have applied before in this cycle, please do not submit another application as this will slow down the reviewing process.

What's involved?
Which rotations you embark on will be unique to you, based on your skills and interests. The different teams available can be seen here.
To give a flavour of the sorts of work our graduates do however, some project examples are:
Progression at Marshall Wace
The rotational format of our program allows you to explore various roles within the Technology team before determining the best fit for you. This may include both SWE and SRE teams. Upon completing your rotations, you have the flexibility to advance to the team that aligns most with your interests and strengths.
After completing the program, the progression paths are not rigidly defined. There is no predetermined ladder for you to climb. Instead, your personal growth may involve taking on more challenging projects, mentoring a team or new hires, or even pursuing opportunities for international assignments. Your individual development path is open for exploration, and you can collaborate with your management to shape what your future growth looks like.
Why join us?
Technology is at our core. It’s industry-defining and best-in-class, but we are striving for even more. You’ll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies while learning from some of the best technicians in the business.
As a technology graduate, this is a chance to accelerate your skill set and gain invaluable real-world experience. You will be continually challenged to learn new skills, work on novel tasks, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
On our programmes, there are no small cogs in big wheels. Our teams are lean, responsibilities are ample, and opportunities are there for the taking. As a graduate, you will have the chance to work across a wide variety of projects and see them through from start to finish, gaining hands-on experience and making a real impact from day one.
At Marshall Wace, we believe in giving our cohorts ownership and autonomy over real projects that add tangible value to the business. You will be encouraged to approach challenges in your own way, challenge the status quo, and contribute meaningfully to our success. The trust we place in our junior team members empowers you to seize opportunities and make a difference from day one. Join us and be part of a team that values your potential and invests in your future.
You will also, of course, be eligible for the benefits relevant to your office.
