American Express Technology Apprenticeships

Our Apprenticeship Scheme has been designed to nurture our next generation of technical specialists and leaders. With continuous training, a tailored development plan and opportunities to increase your skills throughout, you'll receive support in your placement team from your leader, buddy and mentor to aid you in securing a permanent role in one of our teams. We also offer a competitive salary along with other generous benefits.

Training & Development

The apprenticeship programme is intended for people with very limited experience of software development. We will teach all of the skills and tools required to become a full-stack developer, turning you into someone who can work with all different parts of a software program - the database, the backend the service layer and the website component. 

Throughout the 18 months, we’ll provide you with continuous training and development, 20% in house classroom-based training with 80% on the job learning. By the end of the training you’ll have undertaken a Level 4 Software Engineer Apprenticeship. You will understand how software goes from an idea to a functional, well-maintained application, and be capable of slotting into lots of different types of teams and projects. 

Languages you’ll learn to use; Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Maven, Spring and more!

On the job learning

As an Apprentice Software Engineer in our Technology organisation, you will be part of a small, co-located, Agile engineering team. You will gain hands-on experience of coding in your team and have the opportunity to take part in activities such as networking with external start-ups, competing in hackathons and supporting local community work.

A Culture of Inclusion

The diversity of our colleagues and an inclusive culture are two of our greatest strengths. We inspire a culture where differences are embraced and all colleagues are enabled to reach their full potential. At American Express, being yourself matters.
