Job description

About this opportunity

Generally, you are technically minded and skilled at java. You have developed a project from inception to production and understand the value of well tested software and production feedback. 

 

We're looking for engineers that can ask penetrating questions, design and communicate robust solutions, develop in short iterative cycles following XP practices, while being an agile advocate for excellence, culture, and sustainability. 

 

Be prepared to join an existing development team and learn fast with the goal of becoming a strong member of the team, able to mentor peers and collaborate with stakeholders. 

 

Why Lloyds Banking Group

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

 

What you’ll need

We understand that no one can be an expert in every aspect of Software Engineering. So, if you have a strong technical background, we’d like to hear from you.

 

Specifically, we’re looking for: 

·       A hands-on Software Engineering background with experience in building applications in Java, using a broad set of tools, techniques, and platforms, with a focus on proving it works and does the right thing. 

·       Experience working with Spring, Hibernate, REST APIs, JSON, and Microservices

·       Good understanding of clean software design and object-oriented principles 

·       Comfortable working with a test-driven development approach 

·       Experience working with container environments in particular Docker, Kubernetes and Helm (e.g. GCP, Azure, AWS)  

·       Familiar with automating CI/CD with tools like Jenkins, GitOps, etc.

 

And any experience of this would be really useful:

·       Able to listen, reflect and respect the views of others as well as being able to communicate your own opinion without being strongly tied to it 

·       A growth mindset, who encourages, mentor and motivates the teams around you 

 

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 performance-related bonus

·       Share schemes including free shares.

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

·       Generous holiday allowance, with bank holidays on top

·       A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
