About our Technology Graduate Programme.

Tesco is a diverse and exciting employer, dedicated for being a place for positive change, providing career defining opportunities to all of our colleagues. We launched the 2x12 months long Technology Graduate programme to hire talented people as Graduate Software Development Engineers or Graduate Product Managers. Both starts in September and open for young and enthusiast graduates who are ready to work in a great tech team and solve large-scale problems with huge impact on millions of our customers.

World of technology is waiting for you.

Whichever of the two positions you apply for, you will join a tech team of medior and senior colleagues. You will work beside them on their actual projects, so there will always be someone by your side to whom you can turn to and ask your questions . Learning from them you will reach high level of professionalism in a shorter period which normally would take more time

During the 24 months you will challenge  yourself within more Technology teams receiving an opportunity to get familiar with every part of our work. To speed up your professional improvement, we will provide e-learning materials, trainings, and individual support from our colleagues – including buddy programme.

Collaboration is key to implement anything more complex. We will help you to develop not only your technical, but also your soft skills.
