For mould-breakers and diverse thinkers

A new route to tech leadership

We're building a new generation of tech leaders - with a completely different set of profiles to the status quo.

We go beyond traditional tech backgrounds

You don’t need a computer science degree for a career in tech.

We select for potential over experience in a degree-agnostic process – some of our most high-flying graduates are career switchers, or have degrees in social science and the creative arts.

We go beyond traditional tech outcomes

Leaders work with both technology and people.

We invest in your long-term leadership trajectory – focusing on complementary technology and people skills for you to become a builder and leader of products, teams and companies.

We're looking for aspiring technologists across the UK, Spain and Poland

Join us in Hatfield, Krakow, or Barcelona. 

Our training is remote-first, but if successful you will be based in an Ocado Technology team in either Hatfield (UK), Krakow (Poland) or Barcelona (Spain).

Breaking barriers of gender

50% of our graduates are female, and we have a specific Women in Tech space for all female-identifying and gender minority members of the community.

Breaking barriers of ethnicity

60% of our graduates are Black, Asian or ethnically diverse, and 30% identify as Black.

Breaking barriers of class

25% of our graduates were FSM-eligible (Free School Meals), and 20% are the first in their families to go to university.
