The Program:
We built the Morningstar Development Program for Technologists to evolve recent college graduates and prepare them for successful, long-term careers at our company. Throughout this two-year program, you will tackle different roles across Morningstar’s technology business. In the Technology organization, you’ll be part of a diverse team that builds innovative and useful software that users love, using contemporary techniques, tools, and infrastructure.
From Day 1, you’ll be immersed in the role, and we’ll invest in your career development as you discover what areas of technology are best aligned to your interests and skills through face time with leaders, and our mentorship program. Additionally, while you’ll have all the perks of being an MDP, you’ll also find a close-knit group of peers in our Tech program as you all attend workshops, Tech MDP lunches, and participate in Hackathons together.
The Role:
The Morningstar Development Program for Technologists is accepting applicants with zero to two years of full-time work experience. We are looking for self-starters who see technology as an art, understands business goals, and can build scalable, flexible software solutions by taking technical direction and applying modern software development and quality practices. We expect that you’ve mastered the technologies, languages, or development environments you’ve been working with—whichever they may be—and that you will be able to learn any technology or language that’s needed.
All positions are based in our Toronto office.
