You will be responsible for the delivery of business value by delivering reliable, scalable and high quality software and ensuring platforms and services are built consistently with industry best practices and security standards. Lead your team technically and be the driver for technical decisions. Be a coach and mentor to your team to support their growth.

With our breadth, reach and diversity, we can offer excellent opportunities for career growth and development. And we look for people who can seize those opportunities; you'll get plenty of support but it's about taking the initiative, building relationships and making it happen. Do this and you can help us make a positive difference to our customers, our colleagues and our communities.

What you will do:

  • Deliver reliable, scalable and functionally working software to the customer.
  • Lead the feature team technically and be the driver for all technical decisions
  • Coach other engineers in the feature team to ensure the appropriate development is in place and support where necessary.
  • Drive and support agile ways of working.

  • Lead and support where necessary on key architecture decisions.
  • Support strategic system and process improvements, interventions and upgrades.
  • Apply modern engineering practices to deliver business value to the customer.
  • Comfortable educating both technical and non-technical colleagues about engineering.
  • Promote DevOps culture and practices.
  • Be a domain expert within the team for third party products - both open-source and commercial
  • Be language agnostic and able to adapt & thrive in a moving technology landscape

 

What we are looking for:

  • Strong Software Engineering background and deep knowledge of agile development practices, TDD/BDD, automated builds, continuous integration, code quality metrics etc.
  • You have a history of technical leadership.
  • Experience across the entire software development life-cycle from inception, through build to production
  • Deep and broad understanding of MS SQL Server, Oracle PLSQL, ETL (Kettle & Pervasive)
  • Deep and broad understanding of Mainframe (Cobol, OPCA/TWS, Endevor, Fileaid)
  • Deep and broad understanding of Clearcase & AS400
  • You have a strong understanding of Unix
  • You have strong experience with testing patterns, frameworks and their roles.
  • You appreciate and acknowledge the impact of system design decisions on scalability, resilience and supportability.
  • Exposure to delivering services through Continuous Delivery.
  • Exposure to Systems Thinking.

 

Are you someone who is interested in having your work impact millions of lives and also have fun while doing it? If yes, come help us build the bank of the future.

 

At LBG, we're invested in your continual development. That's why we've fostered a collaborative learning environment that supports your career goals and encourages knowledge-sharing. Our inclusive culture offers you flexibility to try new things while helping you build the future you want.

 

On top of our team ethos we're genuine about both equal opportunity and our colleagues representing the communities we serve - developing and advancing the best in our people.

 

Ultimately, we care much more about the person you are, how you think and approach things, than a list of qualifications on a CV. So if even if you can't say 'yes' to all of the above, but you're self-motivated, passionate about delivering phenomenal solutions and interested in joining us at a critical and exciting time, then we'd love to hear from you…

 

Regards,

Kate

Company

We’re creating an organisation that attracts, retains and develops the best talent in the industry, and one that openly embraces diversity too. But more than that – we want to be a great place to work. We invest in our people, offering the best training and coaching, and by encouraging them to contribute to our leading corporate and social responsibility practices. We offer flexible working hours and days, under our Work Options scheme. This means that you can have a challenging and rewarding career, and still have an ideal work/life balance.

Flexible working is at the heart of our strategy. We’re re-imagining where, when, and how our people work, with new approaches designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and colleagues. These include increasing our use of remote-working tools and technology, as well as placing less reliance on a 9-to-5 mindset. For many of our office-based colleagues, we work in hybrid ways which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of their time at one of our office sites.
