If you’re a first or second year female student with ambitions of working in technology, then you should take a look at financial services. It’s relentlessly innovative. It moves rapidly. And it offers more opportunities than you may have expected.
CITYVIEW is your chance to discover more about this world, and what it’s really like to work in the City. It’s open to undergraduates from science, technology, engineering or mathematics subjects – particularly, but not exclusively, computer science, physics, chemistry or electrical engineering.
The event is taking place on Thursday 18th October and is a unique opportunity to gain a new perspective. It might also be your first step towards a rewarding career. Many previous attendees have gone on to be offered internship places. You could be the next.
Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
An internship or career in financial services is highly competitive and extremely challenging, so it is important that you have a strong academic background.
All attendees should:
Be studying a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics based degree
Finishing studies in 2020 or 2021 (eligible for Spring and Summer internships).
Have achieved 300+ UCAS points from top 3 A Levels (or equivalent), from ANY subject. Be on track to leave university with a 2.1 (or equivalent).
Be open and enthusiastic about exploring a technology internship within financial services.
Any queries please email events@staffordlong.co.uk .
What is technology within financial services?
Technology is at the heart of every financial firm, underpinning all aspects of their work – from trading, sales and risk management to operations, control and regulation.
Broadly speaking, technology roles will fall into two main areas. The first is application and software development – providing innovative applications and solutions for critical business needs in particular areas. The second, infrastructure, is more focused on the firm as a whole – developing tools and systems to drive the business forward.
Together, these two help firms work more efficiently and retain a crucial competitive advantage. Which means you can expect unique challenges and exciting innovation from day one.
SESSIONS
CITYVIEW is all about introducing you to spring and summer internships in technology available within financial services. There’ll be presentations from graduates and senior managers from some of the world’s leading financial firms.
But don’t expect to just come and listen – the day will be interactive too, with discussions and networking sessions to get involved in. So you’ll be able to ask the questions that really matter to you.
CITYVIEW will take place on Thursday 18th October 2018 at Goldman Sachs offices in Central London. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
Sessions will include:
An introduction to technology roles within financial services
A panel discussion with recent graduate s (many of whom did internships) about their specific roles
Networking with junior and senior representatives from participating firms over drinks and canapés
An interactive session talking to senior females in the industry about working in the industry

Product Reliability Engineers are part of Palantir’s Product Support Organization. As experts in the architecture, tooling and operations of Palantir’s platforms, we ensure that Palantir’s mission-critical products are available to our customers 24/7/365. We provide direct developer and user support to Palantir engineers and customers as they scope, deploy, manage, and extend our platforms to solve challenging data problems.
When something goes wrong, we are the first to respond. We know what to do — and if we don't, we figure it out. As a Product Reliability Engineer, you’ll need to be resourceful, analytical, and agile. Every day is different as Palantir’s products, and our customer’s problems, are constantly evolving. Collaboration — with customers, developers, and business teams — is essential to resolving the most difficult and nebulous technical issues. You'll apply creativity and deep technical knowledge to convert what you know, and what you learn, into a better software product.
To maintain our agility, when you’re not focused on the product, you’ll build and maintain the infrastructure critical to connecting those with questions or problems with those who should help. Working closely with our engineering and business teams, you will help with the deployment lifecycle of our products. This might include ensuring that product health is monitored through metrics, building and tuning automated alerts to proactively identify product issues, and developing and documenting strategies for responding to incidents.
Whatever the technical issue or question about Palantir’s products, you’ll play a critical and central role in resolving it — seeking not just a one-time fix, but a permanent solution. Product Reliability Engineers go beyond the root cause analysis to ensure that known issues are proactively mitigated across all systems.
Core Responsibilities
Become a Palantir Product Expert.
Collaborate with the Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams in the development and design of creative and reliable solutions for our customers.
Diagnose and resolve issues encountered in the field.
Provide education and guidance on configuring and working with Palantir products to prevent issues before they occur.
Contribute to the end-to-end quality of the product by verifying fixes and advocating for improvements.
Coordinate and manage customer contact for critical product issues.
Take part in a 24/7 on-call rotation to address mission-critical incidents.
What We Value
Awesome problem solving skills and ability to break down complex concepts.
Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.
Comfortable working in a fast moving environment with dynamic objectives.
Ability to think creatively and define product and customer needs.
Ability to work independently and make decisions under minimal supervision.
Excellent teamwork and written/verbal communication skills.
Experience coding with Java and/or web technologies a plus (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python/Ruby, Django/Flask/Ruby on Rails, etc.).
Experience with distributed computing systems and/or cloud infrastructures a plus (e.g. Spark, Hadoop, YARN, Kubernetes, AWS, etc.).
Willingness and interest to travel as needed.
Must be planning on graduating in 2020.
If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, you may contact us at accommodations@palantir.com .

The Global Social Venture Competition ( GSVC ) empowers the next generation of social entrepreneurs by providing them with mentoring, exposure, and over $80,000 in prizes to transform their ideas into ventures that address the world’s most pressing challenges.
Teams from across the globe learn how to design scalable models through a process that emphasizes stakeholder discovery, business innovation, and social impact assessment.
Who should apply?
The Global Social Venture Competition seeks to support the most promising early-stage for-profit or nonprofit solutions that address the world’s most pressing social challenges using technology.
Successful ventures show the highest, most integrated financial and social and/or environmental returns, demonstrating “blended value”.
For the 2019 competition, all ventures must have a technology component to their venture, whether a product, hardware, software, web platform, mobile app, wireless, etc.
TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD
Solutions should utilize “technology for good” in some form, whether the entire venture is focused on a technology-based solution or if the venture has some degree of a technology component built into the solution.
The competition occurs over three rounds. During each round of the competition, entrant teams present the social, financial, and environmental values of their business, gaining valuable feedback from and exposure to some of the greatest minds in social innovation.
Eligibility requirements for ventures
Submitted ventures should aim to be: financially sustainable or profitable; whether it is a for-profit, non-profit, or hybrid business model, your venture must aim to be self-sufficient on earned revenue.
Ventures should include a technology component, whether a technology-based solution or a technology component is utilized to address the solution. In this instance, technology is defined very broadly. Eligible ventures should include products and services developed from the application of scientific knowledge. This may involve software, hardware as well as other devices and products. The technology can be manifest in the product or service itself or be the way in which the product or service is delivered.

Competition
Deadline: December 3, 2018 00:00 (CET)
The Global Social Venture Competition ( GSVC ) empowers the next generation of social entrepreneurs by providing them with mentoring, exposure, and over $80,000 in prizes to transform their ideas into ventures that address the world’s most pressing challenges.
Teams from across the globe learn how to design scalable models through a process that emphasizes stakeholder discovery, business innovation, and social impact assessment.
Who should apply?
The Global Social Venture Competition seeks to support the most promising early-stage for-profit or nonprofit solutions that address the world’s most pressing social challenges using technology.
Successful ventures show the highest, most integrated financial and social and/or environmental returns, demonstrating “blended value”.
For the 2019 competition, all ventures must have a technology component to their venture, whether a product, hardware, software, web platform, mobile app, wireless, etc.
TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD
Solutions should utilize “technology for good” in some form, whether the entire venture is focused on a technology-based solution or if the venture has some degree of a technology component built into the solution.
The competition occurs over three rounds. During each round of the competition, entrant teams present the social, financial, and environmental values of their business, gaining valuable feedback from and exposure to some of the greatest minds in social innovation.
Eligibility requirements for ventures
Submitted ventures should aim to be: financially sustainable or profitable; whether it is a for-profit, non-profit, or hybrid business model, your venture must aim to be self-sufficient on earned revenue.
Ventures should include a technology component, whether a technology-based solution or a technology component is utilized to address the solution. In this instance, technology is defined very broadly. Eligible ventures should include products and services developed from the application of scientific knowledge. This may involve software, hardware as well as other devices and products. The technology can be manifest in the product or service itself or be the way in which the product or service is delivered.
