You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to technical decisions, improve engineering practices, and work on challenging problems across a large-scale technology estate.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain high-quality applications using Java, Kotlin, and/or Scala.
• Design scalable, reliable, and maintainable software solutions.
• Apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) and engineering best practices.

• Test-Driven Development (TDD) and automated testing.
• Object-oriented and/or functional programming principles.
• Building and supporting scalable, production-grade applications.
• Working collaboratively within agile engineering teams.

Experience within financial services, banking, or other regulated environments would be beneficial but is not essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Pension contribution.
• Hybrid working: 3 days per week in a London office.
• The opportunity to work within a large, technology-focused financial services organisation.
• A collaborative environment with opportunities for technical growth and career development.
