Software Engineer – Graduate

At Nasdaq, you'll have the chance to start your career in an environment where learning, teamwork, and innovation come first. In this role, you'll support our engineering team and gain hands-on experience building and maintaining production software that serves real users and supports critical business needs.

You don't need to know everything on day one — we'll help you build the skills, confidence, and network to grow your career.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to production software by designing, implementing, and maintaining features across different parts of the system.
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code that supports real-world applications.
• Debug and troubleshoot issues in development and production environments.
• Participate in code reviews and design discussions, learning from feedback and collaboration.
• Explore how systems behave at scale and how engineering decisions impact reliability and performance.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Computer Science degree or equivalent academic background with a strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software development practices like debugging, testing, and version control.
• Experience with at least one programming language such as C#, Java, or JavaScript, and exposure to modern frontend frameworks like React.
• Ability to communicate clearly, explain your ideas, and ask thoughtful questions.
• Curiosity about how systems work and a genuine interest in learning and growing as an engineer.
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• Personal or school projects where you built something end-to-end or experimented beyond coursework.
• Comfort reading and understanding existing code in complex systems.
• Interest in how systems interact, scale, and recover, and curiosity about emerging technologies like AI.
