JOBS · ARCTIC LAKE CAREERS

Graduate Software Engineer, High Performance Systems

Effort: High · OCTOBER 19, 2026

£60,000 salary; visa sponsorship stated

London, on-site, full time, £60,000, 2027 start. Arctic Lake explicitly says Skilled Worker visa sponsorship is available and is recruiting graduates globally.

Why youThis is one of the rare genuine graduate openings that explicitly accepts sponsorship, giving you a direct route toward permanent work and family reunification.

The employer describes this as a graduate role building trading technology for tier-one banks, spanning low-level performance work through application logic. The advertised salary is £60,000 and the role is based on-site in London with a 2027 start.

Arctic Lake explicitly says sponsorship is available and welcomes applicants globally. The page does not state a closing date, so treat it as rolling and apply promptly. Confirm that the Skilled Worker licence is active on the Home Office register and ask the recruiter to confirm this specific vacancy will sponsor.

This is a high bar: the company says it competes with HFT firms and tech giants for strong computer science graduates. Expect demanding algorithms, systems fundamentals and coding interviews. The page does not state required degree grade or salary progression.

Compared with broad graduate schemes, the specific sponsorship statement is a major advantage. It is also on-site and trading-focused, so the working style and financial-market domain need to suit you.
