GSC: Engineering Lead

Some careers shine brighter than others.

If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential. Whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

Corporate & Institutional Banking Technology (CIB) is the “investment bank" for HSBC. The Cross Product Tech is a division that supports this area. We see ourselves as being a technology company within the bank, building great solutions to support the bank's wider strategy, and we've been at the forefront of driving the organization’s Dev Ops / Agile agenda. We are currently focusing on these high‑level outcomes:

• Iterating on our already successful on‑premises digital platform to allow teams to build products efficiently for our customers. The platform is being opened to additional teams and business lines to host their products.
• Building out the flagship Single Dealer Platform for MSS, HSBC Evolve. There is always a lot of work going on in this space, driven by client demand. We value the importance of web standards and focus on accessibility as well as speed of delivery.
• Working with all our Sales teams globally to build products which make their lives easier and allow them to provide excellent customer service.
• Delivering the technology that supports the creation and delivery of research content to our customers.
• Building next generation AI / ML tools to allow sales and traders to discover new client insights.
• Building HSBC‑wide social tools to allow internal communities to flourish - these have had over 250k unique users internally since their creation 3 years ago.

Our department is currently c.450 people strong, based across 7 locations. Hong Kong, China, India, Poland, UK, USA and Canada. Most of our teams are co‑located but some of our teams work across geographies. We love flexible working and self‑organising teams and are enjoying new means of collaboration as part of HSBC's hybrid working strategy.

We are looking for people who are flexible in their approach, enjoy technology and who are happy to try new things, as well as being comfortable in throwing experiments away if they don’t work. Controlled failure is considered an opportunity to learn.

• Lead & perform line manager duties for a team of 6+ people with a dedicated product owner.
• Own a technical vision and define a strategy of how to change a product to reach the vision including technology choices like frameworks, infrastructure and topology changes.
• Communicate this vision to outside world and explain benefits to address technical debt / platform improvements.
• Product support is integral to the role – we have a saying, “the team builds it, the team supports it
