At Capital One, we’re on a mission to be a force for good in lending. You might think of us as a credit card company. Truth is, we’re just as much a technology business. Throughout our almost 30-year history, we’ve consistently been recognised as a great place to work; in 2026, Capital One was officially ranked 9th in the UK’s Best Workplaces™ list.
Our Tech teams continuously drive innovation to deliver a positive impact for millions of customers every single day. And that's what makes an internship in technology here like nowhere else. Join us, and you will spend 10 weeks working on real life projects within one of our core engineering teams, where you’ll get to use the latest technologies and learn how to build great platforms, tools and frameworks.
Our previous interns have:
And it isn’t just about building your technical skills. There's plenty of scope for personal growth too, as you’ll receive high-quality training designed to drive forward your development. Plus, you won't be navigating this alone. There will be a dedicated manager, a professional mentor, and a peer buddy by your side to support and guide you every step of the way.
We don’t mind what degree or grades you have, but we want to see:
Step 1: Apply! We don’t screen CV’s so there’s no need to tailor your CV or attach a cover letter. If you meet the eligibility criteria you will be sent online testing to complete, which will assess the core skills required for the role.
Step 2: One-way video interview, looking at your motivations for the role and some examples where you’ve shown the soft skills we’re looking for.
Step 3: Virtual assessment day, consisting of a pair programming exercise and a presentation and strengths based interview.
Step 4: In-person final interview with one of our Senior Software Engineering Managers, and the opportunity to look around our office.
This is a 10-week fixed-term position based in our Nottingham office.
We embrace a hybrid approach to work. You'll spend three days a week in the office (Tuesday-Thursday), with Monday and Friday being optional work-from-home days.
Our offices are designed to inspire and support you. At our Nottingham head office, you'll find an on-site gym, restaurant and dedicated Learning Loft. Our London office boasts a rooftop running track and coffee bar.
We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it’s about what you do, not just what you say. That’s why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible.
We value diversity, inclusion and belonging at our core. We empower our associates to do great work by creating an inclusive culture—one that values diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration and encourages innovative ideas—and a place where associates of all backgrounds can thrive by bringing their most authentic selves to work. We call this our Culture of Belonging, and it rests at the heart of our business.
Our associate-led Business Resource Groups were created to help support our diverse population and include over 10 groups across our offices. Because each Business Resource Group is as unique as the population it serves, they offer a range of activities, networking opportunities, special events and learning programmes to associates.
Capital One is committed to diversity in the workplace.
