Working Pattern Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our offices.

About this opportunity

At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re moving to the next stages of our digital transformation, and it’s our job within the Chief Security Office (CSO) to ensure that we keep our customers, colleagues and assets safe from threat.

Insider Risk Management, within the Chief Security Office, brings together insider analysts and engineers to lead the Group\'s Insider Strategy – designing, building and running detection controls, coordinating the Group’s insider community and leading on industry discussions.

Responsibilities

• Design and build industry leading insider tools to help detect potential events

• Embed AI and Machine learning into our detection and response capability

• Explore and evaluate other vendor solutions to improve our overall insider tool set

• Identify and implement opportunities for process improvements, using automation and sophisticated analytics to improve the efficiency of our insider risk management program using agile and customer focused tools and techniques.

What you’ll need

We understand no one can be an expert in every aspect of software engineering. So, if you have a strong technical background, we’d like to hear from you. Specifically, we’re looking for:

• Experience in developing high quality, testable, re-usable and modular code with a range of programming languages, frameworks, and technologies, e.g. JavaScript, TypeScript, ReactJS, Java and related API frameworks

• Integrating RESTful APIs into dynamic and data driven front ends with ReactJS and NextJS

• Proficiency in data analysis and techniques to model use cases and detect anomalies using Data Flow and Big Query in GCP

• Container Technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and experience with cloud platforms such as GCP

And any experience of this would be really useful:

• Understanding of the benefits and risks of AI and machine learning and appropriate control designs

• GIT source code management and running concurrent change on a large code base

• Familiarity with insider threat management frameworks and standard methodologies

About working for us

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.
