Application-status guide, checked 5 October 2026. Visa’s advertised 2027 New College Graduate software-engineering role described work on digital payments technology. The specific Bellevue vacancy link now returns a page-not-found message, so this article does not confirm that recruitment for that role remains open.
What the advertised role involved
The indexed official advert described secure software development, testing, code review, teamwork and diagnosing software problems. It listed a related bachelor’s or master’s degree, graduation between May 2026 and August 2027, and under six months of relevant experience.
That US position required permanent work authorisation without present or future sponsorship and at least three office days weekly. These conditions belong to that specific advert and should not be applied automatically to other Visa vacancies.
Find a current opportunity
Use Visa’s official early-careers page to reach current vacancies. Check that a role still has an active application route, then confirm its location, graduation window, work-authorisation conditions and deadline. No new closing date is confirmed here.
Prepare a software-engineering application
Select a project that lets you explain a technical decision in detail. Describe the problem, the design you chose, how you tested it and what you would improve. If you used an AI development tool, explain which parts you checked yourself and how you assessed the result.
A concise project description can be more useful than a long list of technologies. Show what you built with each tool and distinguish a working feature from an unfinished experiment. Keep confidential code and employer data out of public repositories.
Prepare an accurate CV and any documents requested by the current vacancy. Do not rely on a saved or indexed advert as proof that applications are still being accepted. These are editorial application suggestions.
