Engineering Graduate Program

About The Workshop

At The Workshop, we build game-changing products and scalable software in the online betting space. Our cross-functional teams create platforms and solutions used by hundreds of thousands of users every day across the globe.

We take engineering seriously here. Clean code, SOLID principles, a real testing culture, CI/CD as standard, meaningful code reviews - these aren't things we talk about in theory. They're how we work every day.

We think good engineering habits, built early, make better engineers for life.

We’re launching This Graduate Programme for the first time this year - and we’re looking for eight engineers.

That means you’d be joining something we’re building alongside you. We’ve thought hard about what a great nine-month engineering programme looks like.

You won’t spend your time watching others work. From early on, you’ll be contributing to real systems, with real engineers who are invested in your development. You’ll have a dedicated mentor, a clear structure, and the space to take on more as you grow.

• Get set up:
  Months 1-2:
  Structured onboarding from day one. We’ll get you familiar with our tools, our tech stack, our teams and our ways of working.
• Get stuck in:
  Months 3-5:
  You will combine structure mentoring sessions with real exposure to development. You’re embedded in a product team. Real features, production code, the full development lifecycle from planning to deployment.
• Take ownership:
  Months 6-9:
  You’re leading pieces of work. Proposing improvements, running with your own ideas and pushing your technical skills further with the support of your mentor.

• Contribute to the develop high-quality, maintainable and scalable code as part of cross-functional agile teams.
• Contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of end-to-end features.
• Collaborate closely with Product, QA, Security and Architecture to deliver reliable and secure solutions.
• Participate actively throughout the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Support system stability across different environments and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• Experiment with new technologies and share knowledge within the team.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes, tooling, and engineering practices.

• Backend:
  Java, Spring Boot, Node.js
• Frontend:
  React
• Cloud & Containers:
  Docker, Kubernetes
• CI/CD & Testing:
  Automated pipelines, JUnit, Cypress
• Data & Messaging:
  Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ, relational and non-relational databases
• Observability & Monitoring:
  Grafana, Prometheus
• Engineering Practices:
  Clean Code, Dev Ops mindset, Agile methodologies

• We are not looking for someone who already knows everything. We want someone who's genuinely curious, picks things up quickly and is excited to build something real.
• You’ve completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field within the last three years - FP and vocational qualifications count too.
• This is your first engineering role. This program is built for people who are just starting out.
• You can communicate clearly in English.
• You love solving complex problems, have a growth mindset and a “can-do” attitude. You're eager to build, break, improve and build again. You're collaborative, proactive and share our Spirit of Play!

• Dedicated mentors You will be paired with experienced engineers and tech leaders who will guide your technical growth, challenge your thinking and support your development plan. Expect structured mentoring sessions, continuous feedback and access to some of the best professionals in the industry.
• Structured training and hands-on experience We don't believe in learning by watching. From the start, you'll be doing real work on real systems, and we'll make sure you're ready for it.
• A great place to start Your first role shapes how you think about engineering for the rest of your career. We take that seriously. We build systems that handle real scale, real users and real complexity. You won't be working on toy problems. You'll be solving the kind of challenges that keep experienced engineers sharp. We care about doing things properly.
  
  Excellence is our standard, and we'll hold you to it from day one. It's how great engineers are made.
• We've got perks
  • Monthly gym reimbursement.
  • Flexible benefits retribution.
  • 25 days of annual leave.
  • A personal learning budget and access to our online learning platform.
