Job description

We are looking for a proactive and experienced Lead Engineer to shape integration across Nationwide’s automation platforms. You’ll set direction for secure, resilient and reusable integration solutions across workflow, low-code, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), AI and enterprise platforms, helping teams deliver joined-up automation that supports better customer and colleague outcomes.

As a Lead Engineer for Automation Platform Integrations, you’ll own the technical approach for connecting automation platforms with core business and data services. You’ll provide thought leadership, design assurance and engineering standards that help teams build secure, scalable and supportable solutions.

Working with architecture, platform owners, product teams, cyber security, data, infrastructure, service management and delivery partners, you’ll turn complex integration choices into clear outcomes. You’ll coach engineers, resolve cross-platform risks and production issues, and help simplify the automation estate through reusable patterns, shared services and effective technical governance.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon site approximately once per quarter. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

If you’re a colleague on long-term absence (for example, on parental leave) or a temporary worker, please use your personal email address to submit an application.

Uncompromisingly Customer, whatever our role

The extras you’ll get

There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

• Private medical insurance
• A highly competitive pension to help you build a strong foundation for retirement
• Access to an annual performance-related bonus
• Training and development to help you progress your career
• A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
• Life assurance to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones in the event of your death
• Wellhub – access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness
• Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community, we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll spend your time shaping integration designs, advising delivery teams and making sure automation solutions are secure, resilient and easy to support. You’ll work across multiple platforms and business areas, balancing speed, risk, reuse and long-term maintainability.

About you

For this role, we are looking for:

• Experience setting technical direction, standards and reusable integration patterns across complex technology estates
• Strong practical knowledge of automation and workflow platforms, such as Microsoft Power Platform, Power Automate, Pega, RPA, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure integration services and AI-enabled automation
• The ability to design and assure Application Programming Interfaces, events, connectors, orchestration and shared services that integrate automation platforms with core business and data services
• Proven experience leading technical quality, design governance and engineering assurance across multiple teams or significant delivery initiatives
• Good understanding of secure-by-design delivery, identity, data protection, operational controls and resilience requirements in a regulated environment
• Experience improving engineering practices, including automated testing, deployment pipelines, observability, service management and reduction of technical debt
• The ability to resolve complex cross-platform risks, dependencies and live service issues, coordinating decisions across teams, suppliers and stakeholders
• Strong influencing and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical choices clearly to senior business and technology stakeholders
• Experience coaching engineers, building capability and supporting communities of practice to improve consistency, reuse and technical depth

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind

Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand

Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development

Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
