Internships
Explore the summer opportunities available to you in Software Engineering & Innovation and Cloud, Infrastructure & Security.
Applications for our 2026 Technology Summer Internships are now closed.
Internship programmes
You must be in your penultimate year of study for a technology-related degree to apply.
Following the internship, there could be the prospect of securing a place to return on the following year’s tech graduate programme. This would be discussed through your time on the internship.
Software Engineering & Innovation
This programme allows you to work across the whole software development lifecycle as you learn about our pioneering Shared Services department and Baillie Gifford as a firm. Discover how our blend of technology drives the business forward in the fast-evolving investment management industry.
Cloud, Infrastructure & Security
This programme will allow you to get hands-on and gain real-life work experience. Our diverse range of vendors means you might work with the likes of Microsoft, Dell, Palo Alto, HashiCorp or ServiceNow, as you develop your technical support and systems resiliency skills.
We're curious, patient, and brave
At Baillie Gifford, we pride ourselves on being these three things:
- Curious - We have strong links with university and academia to inform our research into exciting companies.
- Patient - Baillie Gifford is an independent private partnership, which means we don’t have outside shareholders who are looking for short-term profits or the need to pay dividends.
- Brave - We are prepared to stand apart from the noisy crowd. Our investors wouldn’t sell an investment that’s deeply out of fashion if they still believed in it.
Early careers events
If you want to get to know us better, why not come along to one of our events? You can join us as we host events in our office and other locations, attend one of our online sessions or meet us at careers fairs.
Meet our people
At Baillie Gifford, our people are our greatest strength. Attracting talent is vital to our success, so we strive to create opportunity for all. We take inclusion seriously and encourage staff to join initiatives that support these values. As employees from across the business can attest, we pride ourselves on being a great place to work.
