Join us as a Principal Engineer
With a fine blend of hands-on and hands-off engineering, you’ll coordinate, support and guide your teams to design and engineer software, scripts and tools that are customer centric, high performing, secure and robust. And with a sharp focus on opportunities for automation, you’ll create efficiency where it doesn’t already exist by exploring and anticipating the impact of strategic challenges, and developing the proposed strategy, architecture and roadmap to drive them forward.
You’ll also be responsible for:
- Developing and executing a cohesive strategy that aligns product, design and business priorities, and converting these into technological solutions
- Empowering and enabling your teams to grow by facilitating discussions, sharing insights, driving collaboration, and guiding the direction of work
- Working with software engineers to prototype innovative ideas, and engaging with our architects to validate and leverage them across the bank
- Developing design patterns, advocating our design principles and methodologies, and signposting the latest trends, technologies and tools
- Enhancing our software engineering capability and inspiring our community of engineers to fulfil their potential by facilitating internal mobility, shaping career paths and coaching talent
As a senior engineer, you’ll bring a wealth of practical experience and technical knowledge to this role. From knowledge of our applications, interfaces, services and platforms, to hands-on experience developing and implementing deployment patterns, application tooling and legacy and industry-leading technologies, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and insights to support and guide your teams to engineer innovative, value-adding solutions.
And, by harnessing your ability to engage and rally people around a tech cause, you’ll enable success at both a team and executive level and make a long-lasting impact through your work.
You'll demonstrate:
- Extensive technology leadership experience leading large-scale engineering organisations
- Strong knowledge of cloud technologies, DevSecOps, platform engineering, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, observability, software architecture, and engineering governance
- Deep hands-on expertise in modern software engineering and enterprise technology platforms
