Job Description

Summary

The Software Engineering CoE (Centre of Excellence) is looking for a passionate Software Engineer to help us transform the way financial services built. We believe that to achieve our mission to Help Britain Prosper we need to become the best place to work for software engineers.

What would you get involved with?

Our mission is simply to be a catalyst for change in the bank. As an engineering centric team, we have fair degree of autonomy about what we work on, but to give you an idea, we usually tackle challenges to accelerate adoption of modern engineering practices: Cloud, Open Source, DevOps, SRE, CI/CD, etc…

To guide us on what work we address, we align around 3 core missions:

1. Code Craft – Bring our engineering community together to define, embrace and evolve the common set of principles that make up good software. 2. Open-Source Mission – Redefining the way we Consume, Contribute and Publish Open Source. 3. Cloud Ready – Help the organization reap the full benefits of cloud.

We generally engage in two broad categories of work:

Vertical : We work alongside other teams to provide support and guidance on how to accelerate their transformation and deliver specific customers outcomes.

Horizontal : We solve cross cutting challenges that have an impact on multiple teams and thousands of engineers in the bank. We simplify process, build tools, advocate for adoption of best practices, facilitate the natural flow of knowledge, etc…

What we’re looking for

• Someone who can build relationships, work efficiently with others across a variety of domains, disciplines, and locations, but also be able to work autonomously and proactively.
• Good interpersonal skills and happy to work with both technical and non-technical people.
• Passionate about technology and its value to solve real-world problems.
• A problem solver, passionate about getting stuck in exciting problems and with sound analytical skills.

• Hands on Software Engineering, with experience in building applications with at least one of the following languages and technologies: Java, JavaScript, or Python.
• Some understanding of modern architecture design and development.

In addition to the above, if you have exposure to the following that would be excellent, but please still apply if you don’t:

• Public cloud environment (e.g. GCP, Azure, AWS).
• Containers, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code.
• Some proficiency in Shell scripting.
• An awareness of security considerations.
