American Express is hiring for its Apprentice – Enterprise Technology Services program, with openings across Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Chennai. This is a structured, 12-month paid apprenticeship rather than a short internship, built around real ownership — the posting is explicit that apprentices work as core members of agile teams on API specs, code reviews, and customer-facing application development, not on isolated training exercises.

The application window here is tight: postings opened on 24 August 2026 and close on 1 September 2026, giving candidates roughly a week to apply. If this fits your profile, it’s worth applying early rather than waiting.

Important Dates

Application Status: Open — Closing Soon

  • Posting Date: 24 August 2026
  • Application Deadline: 1 September 2026, 11:00 PM

With roughly a week-long window, candidates should not delay — incomplete or late applications risk missing this cycle entirely.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Writing code in one or more programming languages — Java, JavaScript, .NET, or Python are cited as examples.
  • Functioning as a core member of an agile team: working on API specs, conducting code reviews, testing within ongoing sprints, and building proof-of-concepts or automation tools.
  • Designing and developing new customer-facing applications across multiple channels — native iOS, Android, web, social integration, and Java services/APIs.
  • Designing and implementing web-enabled systems for data collection.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Candidates must have completed graduation under a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program in Computer Science, Information Technology Engineering, or another technical discipline.

What Amex Is Looking For

  • A genuine passion for technology and a strong desire to learn.
  • A curious mindset that explores new possibilities and acts on them.
  • A “never-settle” attitude, continuously looking for improvements.
  • Customer focus — the ability to think differently and deliver value to customers.
  • A data-driven approach to decisions and results.

Who Should Apply?

  • Recent CS/IT/technical graduates who already have some programming exposure across at least one of Java, JavaScript, .NET, or Python.
  • Candidates interested in end-to-end product work — spanning mobile (iOS/Android), web, and backend API development — rather than a narrow, single-stack role.
  • Those comfortable working within agile team structures, including code reviews and sprint-based delivery.
  • Candidates based in or willing to work hybrid out of Bengaluru, Gurugram, or Chennai.

Who Is This Role Not For?

  • Candidates from non-technical degree backgrounds — the qualification is specific to CS, IT Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Those unable to apply within the roughly one-week window before 1 September 2026.
  • Candidates looking for a fully remote arrangement — this is a hybrid role tied to specific office locations.

Compensation & Program Structure

This is a paid, 12-month apprenticeship. Beyond compensation, American Express has highlighted opportunities for development, networking, and engagement with company executives as part of the program, along with the chance to influence and contribute to core businesses across the organization. All offers are conditioned on successful completion of a background verification check, subject to applicable laws.

Selection Process

The official posting does not describe a specific test or interview format. Given the emphasis on agile collaboration and multi-channel application development, candidates should be ready to discuss any hands-on coding projects, familiarity with API design, and exposure to agile/sprint-based workflows, even at an academic or internship level.

If you’re also weighing other structured apprenticeship programs, StoneX’s 6-month paid Data Engineer apprenticeship in Pune is a comparable option, and our HR interview questions guide can help you prepare quickly given the tight deadline here.
