We welcome you to apply! When applying to this general posting, our expert BNY Talent Acquisition Team may also review your resume for consideration across other open roles within the company.
We are currently building out a number of engineering pods within the Custody business — and are looking to bring in graduate engineers at the start of their careers who are genuinely excited about software craft and the intersection of technology and finance. The roles are full-stack with a strong Java backend emphasis, working within agile teams that own the full product lifecycle — from design and build through to deployment, observability, and iteration. We are particularly interested in candidates holding a Masters in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence, ideally with some industrial placement or internship experience, who are curious about AI-assisted development tooling (we use Windsurf, Codex, and Claude day-to-day), microservices, CI/CD, and containerisation. Open-source contributions or evidence of self-initiated projects that demonstrate genuine innovation are highly valued. Graduate engineers here contribute meaningfully from day one, collaborate closely with product partners, and have real ownership of their delivery.
We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Full-Stack Engineer to build secure, scalable, and resilient systems. You’ll work primarily on the backend while contributing to modern web frontends, owning delivery across the product lifecycle and collaborating closely with product and design partners. This role is located in Manchester .
In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:
Design, build, and maintain backend services, batches and APIs, contributing to UI components as needed.
Own end-to-end delivery: implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and reliability.
Write clean, well-tested code; participate in code reviews and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with product, design, and operations to translate business needs into technical solutions.
Enhance performance, security, and resiliency through best practices and automation (CI/CD).
Foster a learning, inclusive team culture —aligned to BNY’s principles and pillars.
To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
Hands-on AI development using modern tools and IDEs (e.g., Windsurf).
Solid understanding of programming concepts and microservices
Proficiency in Java with Spring.
Experience with CI/CD, automated testing (JUnit/Spock), and containers (Docker).
Familiarity with microservices, observability/telemetry (e.g., Splunk, AppDynamics), and cloud deployments.
Curiosity to understand the business domain and translate product strategy into technical solutions.
How we work:
Agile (Scrum/Kanban) tailored by teams for flow and outcomes; full product lifecycle ownership (build, test, deploy, monitor, iterate); growth mindset with continuous learning and knowledge sharing.
Code: Java 17/21 (Spring, Maven), Groovy, JavaScript/TypeScript (Angular)
Testing: JUnit, Spock
Deployment: Private Cloud (VMs/containers)
Tooling: GitLab (git and CI/CD), IntelliJ, Windsurf, Docker, Splunk, AppDynamics
