LOCATION: Edinburgh

HOURS: Full-time – 35 hours per week

Why join us? 

We’re investing billions in our people, places and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.  

 

What we’re looking for? 

As a Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing and building modern applications that touch millions of lives. You’ll:

  • Contribute to supporting the strategic direction for application development within the team.

  • Ensure that software is built in a way that is consistent with the core Architectural frameworks, patterns and practices that exist across the wider Engineering community.

  • Work closely with the Business analysts and Product Owners to ensure requirements are clearly defined and acceptance criteria’s are met.

  • Work with Architects, providing input for key solution design artefacts.

  • Be aware of industry innovation, and gain exposure to the knowledge required to provide solutions for complex business problems where no precedent may exist.

  • Good knowledge of infrastructure and security architecture practices and concerns

  • Be willing to be part of production support rota and/or Technical Recovery Manager rota to coordinate/provide solution for the resolution of incidents.

And any experience of these would be great 

  • Hands‑on experience building modern web applications with React and TypeScript/JavaScript, delivering responsive and high‑performance multi-facetted user interfaces. 

  • Proficient in state management and component styling, with familiarity across single‑page applications and micro‑frontends

  • Committed to quality through testing with Jest, React Testing Library, and end‑to‑end tools such as Playwright

  • Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub, Jenkins, Harness), containerisation/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (like GCP). 

  • Commitment to writing reliable, maintainable, and well-tested code.

 

If you're selected to move forward in our assessment process, you may be invited to complete a technical interview with Karat - our trusted interviewing partner. As part of this stage, we’ll share your information with Karat, in line with their privacy policy. 

 

This is a place for you:

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme. 

 

Our benefits include:

  • Up to 15% pension contribution

  • Annual bonus (based on Group performance)

  • Share schemes, including free shares

  • 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays

  • Flexible benefits tailored to your lifestyle

  • Generous parental leave and wellbeing support
