About this opportunity:

We're already the UK's leading Digital Bank and biggest mobile bank with nearly 14 million active online customers across our brands. Now we're on a journey to build the bank of the future, for which we're investing £3bn across platforms, people and data capabilities to truly become the best bank for customers!

The Engineering Platform team is on a mission to create the next generation technical platform for Lloyds Banking Group, that will be at the core of one of the UK's biggest financial service transformations.

From our Central DevOps team, we lead the way in defining the best of new technology offerings, working closely with our Engineering Leads to collectively drive the tooling agenda whilst balancing the requirements of the UKs leading retail bank. The ultimate measure of success for us is demonstrating this best of breed software and platform solutions so that we can continuously improve how we deliver market leading applications for our customers

What will you be doing with us?

  • Thought leadership in all aspects of DevOps tooling. This will involve defining and contributing to the overall strategy of the Group

Why Lloyds Banking Group?

We're on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we are shaping finances for good. We're focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.

What you'll need

  • Technical experience of working with DevOps tooling such as CI/CD technologies, Containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes/etc..), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Chef/Puppet/Ansible), Source control platforms (GitHub/Endevor/etc.)

  • Solid core OS level skills (e.g. UNIX/LINUX/Windows/ZOS) with supporting industry standard scripting skills

  • Experience of coaching and mentoring teams to adopt the latest techniques

  • This is a leadership role and so experience operating at a senior level in an organisation (up to Exec level) would be beneficial.

  • We're looking for a 'teammate' who can build relationship and work productively with others across a variety of domains, disciplines and locations

  • Someone who is passionate about technology and its application to real-world problems.

  • Someone who has confidence to express own opinions, and be pragmatic about modifying them when

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.

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%
