Graduate / Trainee Technologist

As a Graduate/Trainee Technologist with Kainos, you’ll work on projects that make a real difference to people’s lives – including the lives of people you know.

You’ll start your journey with our AI-first Technologist Academy, where you’ll build strong foundations in modern engineering practices, cloud platforms, quality assurance, low-code development, cyber security and data & AI.

After the academy, you’ll join our Early Careers Programme where you’ll gain hands‑on experience across different roles, supported by experienced mentors and real project work. You will also continue to develop your technical, professional and business skills during this time.

At Kainos, we operate in a fast-moving, dynamic environment, so adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn are key. You’ll have the opportunity to work across different teams, projects, and business units, developing the skills to become one of our future technical leaders.

You’ll learn to design, build, and maintain high-quality software solutions using modern programming languages and frameworks. Expect to work on scalable, secure applications that deliver real value to users.

You’ll develop skills in automated and manual testing, ensuring the quality and reliability of our solutions. You’ll learn how to embed quality into every stage of the development lifecycle.

You’ll explore how data and AI can transform services, from building data pipelines to applying machine learning and generative AI to solve real-world problems.

You’ll use low-code platforms to rapidly deliver business solutions, learning how to combine speed with maintainability and integration best practices.

You’ll gain experience in cloud infrastructure, Dev Ops, and automation, ensuring our solutions are secure, scalable, and performant.

You’ll learn how to build systems that are protected against the latest Cyber & AI security threats. You’ll learn the techniques attackers use to compromise applications and to defend against them.

You’ll graduate from the Early Careers Programme with a broad technical foundation and the skills to shape our future. Many of our leaders started their careers this way.
