Inclusive Engineering Working Group

Who We Are​

The Inclusive Engineering Working Group brings together Distinguished Engineers committed to mentoring, allyship, and inclusive technology practices. We believe that diverse perspectives produce better engineering outcomes and that senior technologists have a responsibility to actively create opportunities for underrepresented groups.

What We Do​

Mentoring & Allyship​

We mentor across career stages, prioritizing underrepresented groups. Our mentoring programmes pair Distinguished Engineers with mentees to provide guidance on technical growth, career development, and navigating the technology industry.

Nudge Unit​

We apply ethical behavioral design principles to encourage better decisions without limiting choice. The Nudge Unit develops patterns and frameworks that teams can adopt to build more inclusive defaults into their engineering processes and cultures.

Education & Development​

We deliver talks, webinars, school outreach, and myth-busting content about technology careers in financial services. Our goal is to widen the pipeline of future engineers by making technology careers visible and accessible to all.
