Lloyds Banking Group is the UK's biggest Retail, Digital and Mobile bank with over 30 million customers. Our products touch the lives of millions so we have a big responsibility to help Britain Prosper.

We're in the middle of a £3bn investment into our People, Platforms and Data as part of our strategy to become the best bank for customers. Taking a Software Engineering led approach we're rapidly transforming into a leading UK FinTech.

And it's the role of our Chief Information Office (GCIO) who provide the backbone and infrastructure upon which this bank of the future will sit.

GCIO has started a journey to agile methods for the delivery of all programmes and initiatives for the Bank and bring this to life in the newly formed Engineering & Transformation function. Whilst responding to the day to day delivery pressures in the organisation Group CIO also needs to position itself to meet the future demands of the bank for cost efficient, reliable and secure infrastructure services and outstanding efficiency, effectiveness and transparency. ​

As part of this strategy the redesign of the Target Operating Model (TOM) includes the provision of a new team - the Group CIO Engineering, Engineering Improvement team. This team will focus on being responsible for troubleshooting high profile issues arising from either Service or Change, and subsequently delivering a successful outcome at pace. These engagements are often infrastructure-centric in nature but the team operate across the full end to end Infrastructure and Application landscape according to organisation priorities.​

  • You'll have experience in developing and supporting one technical speciality e.g. java, .Net, Node.js, or Python. Additional knowledge of Cloud, OS, database, network etc is desirable.​
  • Strong technical knowledge of a specific platform/technology that includes the ability to troubleshoot code and performance issues and identify and deliver improvements and performance optimisation.
  • Be aware of traditional and cloud application patterns. Experience in writing Infrastructure as Code Highly Desirable (e.g. Cloud Formation / Terraform / Chef / Puppet etc.)​

We'll also expect you'll have:

  • Demonstrable knowledge and appreciation of how systems are integrated, combined with a working or theory based knowledge of IT Security / Data security / Compliance standards.​
  • A working knowledge of agile would be beneficial, however desire to continuously learn and develop to ensure successful outcomes are delivered as part of the wider squad/virtual team is essential.

As well as a competitive salary, this role offers:

  • Flex cash sum

Company

We’re creating an organisation that attracts, retains and develops the best talent in the industry, and one that openly embraces diversity too. But more than that – we want to be a great place to work. We invest in our people, offering the best training and coaching, and by encouraging them to contribute to our leading corporate and social responsibility practices. We offer flexible working hours and days, under our Work Options scheme. This means that you can have a challenging and rewarding career, and still have an ideal work/life balance.

Flexible working is at the heart of our strategy. We’re re-imagining where, when, and how our people work, with new approaches designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and colleagues. These include increasing our use of remote-working tools and technology, as well as placing less reliance on a 9-to-5 mindset. For many of our office-based colleagues, we work in hybrid ways which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of their time at one of our office sites.
