Software Engineer Northampton, England
Job description
Software Engineer
Northampton
As a Barclays Software Engineer, you will be a part of a diverse transformation team that collectively builds and assisits a suite of applications and processes that ultimately enable Barclays Treasury to robustly lead Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book. You will have an exciting opportunity to build the models that produce these critical metrics.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
What will you be doing?
- Sustaining delivery quality and velocity against numerous project deliverables
- Building and supporting various quality software in C#
- Using modern first test methods in a full-stack front-to-back context
- Pairing with other developers and participating in code reviews
- Creating automated tests to demonstrate where acceptance criteria are met
- Following and actively studying best practices around Agile development and Software Engineering
- Participating in architecture discussions and decision making
- Working with Architect Owners and other senior team members
What we’re looking for:
- Experience working with C# and SQL
- Ability to learn quickly and grasp complex abstract concepts
- Experience of working within an Agile framework
- Good communication skills and willingness to speak up in a group and share ideas and learning
Skills that will help you in the role:
- Experience in .Net Core, WCF, WPF, Angulr, Bootsrap, RESTful APIs and Web API development, specifically in AWS
- Experience in the fincance industry
- Knowledge of ALM and IRRBB
Where will you be working?
Northampton was the birthplace of Barclaycard in 1966 and we've been based in Pavilion Drive since the building opened in 1997.
We purchased the building from the landlord in early 2018 as a sign of our commitment to investment in Northampton. Plans to further develop this Campus-style location are under way to allow for a real collaborative work environment. Based just off the A45 it is easily accessible by both car and bus routes.
