Experience in one or more of the following would be beneficial:

* Front end development - Front End development enables us to build applications for the colleague & customer to interact with. Typically it is the creation of the visual interface of an online or digital asset using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS or UI development
* Back end development - Back-End development makes sure everything works well for our colleague & customers and helps us use data in the right way. It is the coding of scripts in web sites and applications that enable them to interact with servers and databases so that their functionality is delivered to the end user. Typically we use c#, Mainframe (COBOL/JCL), SQL, Oracle/Unix and JAVA/CICS/DB2.
* Business Rules - This development brings to life the various functional aspects of our systems to drive interaction between our colleagues and customers and also support our colleagues in servicing customer needs.
* DevOps - DevOps helps us link our teams operating in agile delivery models with our operations teams who are running live services. It enables us to build a culture of 'own what you build'. Through automation, continuous integration and continuous deployment it helps us deploy new product and services into live in a controlled and safe manner Jira & Confluence
* Agile Delivery - Agile delivery methods encourage teams to focus on collaboration, transparency, continuous improvement and the delivery of the highest value item first. It is useful when going after a complex problem that requires experimentation and continued adaption. Scrum is a key method we use which advocates a series of meetings ( ceremonies) and activities known as sprints to help teams deliver change
