StoneX Apprentice – Data Engineer Recruitment 2027

StoneX Group, a Fortune 100, Nasdaq-listed financial services firm, is hiring an Apprentice – Data Engineer for its Pune office. This role sits within StoneX’s Enterprise Data & Technology (EDT) team, which reports to the company’s Chief Data Officer and supports data pipelines and platforms used across the organization’s institutional and retail businesses.

This is a structured apprenticeship rather than a standard internship — it runs as a full-time, 6-month program starting in January 2027, and is specifically aimed at candidates completing their bachelor’s degree by July/August 2027. If you’re finishing your degree around that window and want hands-on exposure to modern data engineering in a financial services setting, this is worth planning for even though it’s a few months out.
