Agile Working Options
You'll be part of an Award winning team, responsible for delivering end-to-end engineering solutions and supporting our Cloud journey. Your contribution will be instrumental to our strategy of simplifying, modernising, and de-risking the Payments landscape, enabling the Bank of the Future and ultimately driving value for customers and shareholders.
You’ll work with a range of key stakeholders, external partners and our internal development and testing teams, to support the successful achievement of IT strategies.
You'll be responsible for delivering high quality maintainable software, support members of the team and support the applications developed and deployed by the team into production. With excellent interpersonal and communication skills, you'll need to contribute to design decisions and provide your inputs to drive resolution.
We believe that people don't fit neatly into roles, and we value everyone's individual skills, experience, and knowledge — it's what makes you awesome!
What follows is what you might find our Software Engineers mostly doing, but your experience will flex depending on the team’s needs, and your own aspirations. Our objective is to grow and create an environment where you can do what you enjoy.
Our Mission
We're on a journey to build the bank of the future, and we need your help. We’re continuing our extensive transformation Programme, with an investment of £3bn, redefining what a bank is from the inside out. Become part of our diverse team, and you'll experience a rare opportunity to impact the lives of more than 26 million customers through brands including Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows. We need people who can make this transformation a reality.
We do this by processing compliant, fast, secure, and flexible transaction management services and covering rising threats from social engineering and real time payments by implementing new and improved digital ways of meeting and exceeding our customer needs.
