  About this opportunity

  As a member of the Customer Data Services Lab, you’d be part of the team that looks after the customer data for the whole of Lloyds Banking Group. Our mission is to make this data available for the right purpose with the appropriate confidentiality and always ensuring a phenomenal engineering experience.

  The systems we support, underpin almost everything we do as Lloyds Banking Group. We maintain these systems to the highest standards, focusing on quality, performance, resilience, and integrity. We have an ambition to use SRE principles to take ownership of operational support 24/7 and guide decision making.

  About us

  Like the modern Britain we serve, we’re evolving. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to transform the way we meet the ever-changing needs of our 26 million customers. We’re growing with purpose. Join us on our journey and you will too…

  What you’ll need

  Generally, you're comfortable in a software development role, blending both solid experience and technical expertise.

  We're looking for an outstanding collaborator that can communicate well to drive strategy and key initiatives forward, while being an advocate for excellence, culture, and sustainability.

  You'll support growth and mentor junior colleagues, while helping shape the culture of the team.

  Specifically, we’d like you to have much of the following, but it's ok if you don't check every box:

  • Hands on Software Engineering background with experience building large scale applications in Java, using a fairly broad set of tools, techniques, and platforms, including cloud hosting.

  • Knowledge of Spring, Hibernate, REST APIs, JSON, Microservices

  • Experience working with container environments in particular Docker, Kubernetes and Helm.

  • Passionate about continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automation (Nexus, GIT, Jenkins)

  And any experience of these would be really useful:

  • Operations and support, ideally following SRE principles

  • Awareness of security considerations and security tools used to integrate with the build pipeline covering the OWASP top 10

  About working for us

  Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

  We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

  We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

  And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

  We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

  We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

  • An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance

  • Share schemes including free shares

  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

  • 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top

  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
