  3. Code for Good Glasgow 2024

The Code for Good hackathon gives you the chance to put your coding skills towards doing good for nonprofit organisations. It’s also a great opportunity to see whether a career in technology is for you.

Over the course of 24 hours hours, you and your assigned team will develop a technology solution for a local nonprofit organisation. You’ll get to work side by side with our expert JPMorgan technologists, learning from their experience as you creatively solve real world problems faced by social organisations. You are encouraged to come up with cutting-edge ideas that could make a difference to the people who need it most. 

In addition to networking with other aspiring software engineers from around the country, Code for Good is also a chance to meet our recruiting teams and experience what it’s like to work as a software engineer at JPMorgan. 

Further details around location, timing, and final schedule will be provided to selected applicants. 

Top performing participants in the Code for Good hackathon may be considered for the Software Engineer Internship.
