As a Lead Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping and supporting the Bank's technology stack - from cloud-native platforms to traditional on-premise systems. You'll collaborate across teams, lead by example, and help drive innovation and resilience in our infrastructure.

This role is open to flexible working patterns, these may include:

• Ability to adapt calendar as needed, this could be to fit in the school run, gym, or appointments
• A 50% in-office attendance requirement can be spread across the month to accommodate diverse working patterns, such as the flexibility to purchase a weekly train ticket for certain weeks
• Compressed hours (subject to approval and policy within the team)
• Working from abroad policy (subject to approval and policy within the team)

You will be contributing your expertise towards the continual improvement of our technology stack, ranging from complex cloud-hosted applications applying IaC and full CI/CD automation, to more traditional VM-based on-premise systems. You'll then dive into hands-on work-automating infrastructure deployments using Terraform and Git Hub Actions, scripting in Power Shell, or improving CI/CD pipelines. You'll collaborate with engineers across teams, mentor junior colleagues, and contribute to a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement.

You will also document your work clearly, showcasing it to team members and ensuring others can understand and support your work. Whether you're deploying a new Azure environment, solving a build, or reviewing a pull request, you'll bring a security-first mentality and a drive for quality and innovation.

Whilst we are looking for someone with relevant experience, we do not expect new joiners to have skills across our entire technology stack and will support you to fill technical gaps.

  • Git Hub Actions
