Role
Who you are

- Experience building microservices, ideally deployed in containers on Kubernetes
- Solid grounding in agile development practices
- Experience with both RDBMS and NoSQL datastores

- Proven experience building large, concurrent, distributed applications
- Experience developing and running large-scale production environments in partnership with DevOps or SRE teams
- A genuine interest in working in a fast-paced startup, ideally in fintech or payments

What the job involves

- The role is to support the integration of Curve into LBG and the launch of the Lloyds Wallet and Pi3 too
- You’ll help design and architect our systems, contribute to continuous improvement, and play a key role in making the engineering team the best it can be
- You’ll be delivering clean, architecturally sound and maintainable server-side code (and if you’ve got full-stack experience, that’s a definite plus)
- You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business to build, measure and learn as you help shape a world-class product
- You’ll partner with product and engineering managers to keep refining how we build and ship, and you’ll help the team push through roadblocks so features land as effectively as possible
- Along the way, you’ll guide design discussions and help balance flexibility, speed, scalability and performance

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.
