Joining Technology at JPMorgan will place you at the heart of an organisation where fast-changing business priorities and market conditions call for constant innovation and cutting edge technologies. The variety of roles on offer to graduates is vast and constantly evolving, with numerous opportunities to gain technology experience across all business areas. This creates a very exciting environment in which to launch a career.

We recruit a significant number of people from non-technical backgrounds with an interest in technology and an aptitude for this programme. We also welcome graduates from mathematical and analytical backgrounds or technical specialists in areas such as infrastructure, software or information architecture, who are interested in design and engineering. In this instance it is advantageous to have Real Time system experience, Unix, SQL and one of a number of application languages such as Java, .Net, C++ or VB. Whatever your background, you will develop skills on some of the most advanced systems in the market place and enjoy opportunities to build uniquely broad experiences as you tackle challenges across our business.

Here are some examples of what you could be doing:

Business Analysts identify and analyse business requirements to shape solutions for our clients. You could recommend business priorities and provide advice on options, risks and costs versus benefits. You may identify and articulate the client's needs so that the development team can design a solution. Your role may cover tasks such as feasibility studies, design specifications, test analysis, user training and even final implementation. Your role may also encompass working in different locations throughout the EMEA network.

Desk Aligned Support Analysts support the business critical systems that allow traders to contribute real-time prices to electronic markets. You could find yourself working with an e-trading application team, continually managing and monitoring the systems, responding to support calls, carrying out configuration changes and managing a production run-time environment. You could switch quickly between daily support procedures and the urgent resolution of complex issues under pressure.

Technical Engineers are responsible for troubleshooting problems within the specific infrastructure platform or function you are assigned to. Articulating the business value and impact of technical and non-technical information and escalating issues for resolution. You could provide effective production support including problem identification, ticket documentation and internal client dialogue, whilst working with the Technology Project Managers to deliver projects and process documentation for small-to medium-scale projects.

Application Developers translate business and technical requirements into applications or solutions. In this role you could be liaising with various colleagues, including traders and marketers to solve problems, deliver new business projects or enhance existing applications. You are likely to learn the realities of real-time coding in an electronic trading environment or to develop an understanding of the intricacies of developing a pricing system which requires up to 80 inputs to value a complex financial product.

Rapid Application Developers (RAD) use technology to improve business creativity by generating new transaction ideas. You could work closely with clients from across all business areas to develop a broad range of risk management and pricing applications across a variety of systems. In a fast paced and innovative environment, you could have the opportunity to gain first hand knowledge of financial products, pricing systems and electronic trading environments, rapidly delivering new tactical solutions and enhancing existing applications to meet ever changing business needs. You'll need to have excellent communication and creative skills, and the ability to think on your feet to solve urgent business issues.

Can you do this?

We're looking to attract, develop and retain high-calibre individuals and identify the potential future talent for the Technology business. We are seeking people who are genuinely excited by the interaction of business and technology in a global environment, who have capacity to learn fast, the flexibility to deal with diverse and changing circumstances and the personal skills to add value to high-calibre teams.

JPMorgan is a genuinely demanding environment where you have to quickly understand that our technological processes and solutions are driven by commercial necessity to engender excellent levels of client service.

Successful graduates have a natural curiosity and tenacity to see projects through to completion; qualities which will see you thrive in one of the most diverse commercial environments you are likely to encounter.
