Back to Goldman Sachs jobs

We are a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm, providing a full range of services worldwide to a substantial and diversified client base, which includes corporations, financial institutions, governments, non profit organisations and high-net-worth individuals. In doing so, we bring together people, capital and ideas to make things happen for our clients.

Technology at Goldman Sachs

Technology is a vital element in the world of finance, providing an absolute competitive advantage. As a technologist at Goldman Sachs, you will work in a dynamic environment creating innovative solutions. Technology at Goldman Sachs is divided into two groups - Development and Infrastructure. Both groups play a crucial role in helping internal and external clients understand how the latest technologies can benefit them.

What makes working in Technology at Goldman Sachs so different? Essentially it is our people: their drive, talent and commitment. It is all about teamwork and working closely with your aligned business unit. Opportunities for responsibility and the scope for unlimited professional and personal development are backed by formally structured training, continuous on the job coaching and a truly open-door management policy.

What we look for

For people at every stage of their careers, we offer the opportunity to move ahead more rapidly than is possible at most other firms. Advancement depends on merit, and we have yet to find the limits to the responsibility our best people are able to assume.

The people of Goldman Sachs are distinctive. This manifests both in the work we do and the people we attract. We take great pride in the professional quality of the advice and execution we provide to our clients. We have an uncompromising determination to achieve excellence in everything we undertake.
We are constantly seeking creative, team-oriented colleagues who bring intensity and integrity, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential to our team.

Awards

In November 2006 we won the award for Best Company Advancing Women in Technology at the BlackBerry Women & Technology Awards. To encourage women’s interest in technology from an early age, we work with eSkills UK, offering Computer Clubs for Girls. We also host dinners at universities resulting in a 72% increase in female applications over a five-year period. We were named one of the 100 exemplary companies in the UK for attracting and retaining women by the Women and Work Commission.
