Role
Who you are
- Do you want to build the pipelines, automation and standards that help our labs deliver faster and more safely across GCP and our private OCP platforms?
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Istio and Helm, alongside solid experience with source code management and orchestration tooling in production environments
- Proven cloud platform experience across public cloud (GCP) and private cloud (OCP/OpenShift), with a practical “keep it simple and reliable” approach with hands-on experience with infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform
- Understanding of technical architecture and Microservice design principles
- Experience of continuous monitoring such as Dynatrace, Splunk, Prometheus, Kibana
- Strong automation skills (infrastructure as code and scripting such as Python and/or Bash) to reduce manual steps and improve consistency
- A collaborative approach—you build relationships easily, bring people with you, and enjoy helping teams adopt better ways of working
- You take pride in well-engineered solutions and enjoy being the person others turn to for advice, guidance and practical problem-solving
Desirable
- Experience of common programming languages, frameworks and testing tools e.g. Java Spring Boot/Quarkus, Node.JS & REACT, Selenium, Cucumber, Playwright

What the job involves

- We deliver shared services and cross‑platform capabilities, working with teams across the Group to simplify and improve colleague journeys
- Our Cloud team sets the standards for automation, pipelines, infrastructure and monitoring, staying at the forefront of DevOps technologies and partnering closely with central and feature teams!
- This is a senior, hands‑on engineering role where technical depth, quality and sound judgement matter just as much as knowledge‑sharing
- Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and monitoring using GitHub, Helm, Harness, Jenkins, IBM DevOps Deploy and Dynatrace
- Build and refine Kubernetes and Istio patterns across GCP and OCP, serving as a technical reference for adopting teams
- Drive automation to reduce toil and improve stability, scalability and performance across DevOps services
- Define and implement platform guardrails and standards to ensure secure, fast delivery
- Use infrastructure-as-code and scripting (e.g., Terraform) to create reliable, repeatable environments
- Partner with feature teams and central groups to coach on build, release and monitoring practices, and mentor junior engineers
- Evaluate emerging technologies and convert successful approaches into reusable delivery patterns
- Raise engineering standards by sharing knowledge, reviewing designs and implementations, and supporting teams in adopting best DevOps practices

Our take
Lloyds Bank, part of Lloyds Banking Group, began operations back in 1765 and is nowadays one of the UK’s leading retail and commercial banks. As with many leading banks, the company has dealt with its share of controversy, but it has nonetheless stood the test of time and worked to build back its public reputation in the wake of these setbacks.
As part of its ongoing digital transformation, the company is seeking to put the cloud at the front of its services and systems, and has cited intentions to invest heavily in overhauling its technology infrastructure. All this seeks to serve the modern banking customer, and to compete with the fast-increasing number of alternative banking options appearing on the market.
On top of this, Lloyds Bank has shown great interest in facilitating innovation in the industry, joining as a partner on "FinTech Action Labs" to bring its industry expertise to early-stage FinTechs. The company continues to enhance its online and mobile services (it is the UK's biggest mobile bank), as well as expanding its partnerships with digital banking companies.
