Job Description Summary
This role is part of Engineering team in our Group Transformation division, within the Finance Platform and will focus on work in our Ledger Lab. We want somebody to join our software engineering team to support our AAH ETL sub-ledger tool, whilst also learning new skills to support smooth running of the software. You’ll be doing a mix of new projects, supporting the existing system and optimising existing infrastructure, all while working in a cross-functional Agile/ SCRUM feature team. In the longer term, you’ll be supporting a large upgrade project and working with your team to build a stable, secure, resilient AAH solution.
Job Description
You would be working in a cross-disciplinary Lab wide team and will closely collaborate with the business configuration engineers, Application Subject Matter Experts, and the business themselves to help with complex data manipulations and to check test results. You’ll be totally comfortable spending much of your day writing PL-SQL stored procedures and triggers based on your understanding of what the team need and want. Ultimately, you’ll be focussed on doing what is best outcome for the customer and end user of the system.
You’ll work in an Agile/SCRUM environment where all work will be transparent and visible to the entire team and use Jira to collaborate and document your work. Software engineers can’t work in isolation, and collaboration and understanding of what your users and customers need and want from your work is also a key skill. You’ll be supporting a range of projects and will keep an eye on the long-term goals while delivering value daily.
You’ll be a keen problem-solver, have an analytical approach to working and be comfortable adhering to technical guidelines, principles, and frameworks.
You’ll be familiar with the group’s engineering design standards needed to engineer the best solutions and a strong proponent of coding best practises. You’ll be curious and innovative in your approach to learning, keen on learning while doing and supporting others to learn.
There is also plenty of scope for the role in the future, with some exciting activity around DevOps and continuous integration pipelines, automation testing and new technologies to learn.
What do you need to be considered for this job?
Generally, you are comfortable in a hands-on technical role, blending both software technical expertise and the ability to collaborate with a team.
We encourage people from a range of role and industry backgrounds but do need to see the following as a minimum for consideration:
- Familiarity with AAH from both a configuration and business process perspective
- PL-SQL, Stored procedures, packages, triggers and database querying
- Agile/Scum ceremonies and behaviours, alongside use of Jira to collaborate and document work.
- Git and associated code repositories and deployment engines such as UrbanCode
- Jenkins and automated testing suites
- Understanding of finance functions and processes
