About this opportunity

Want to use your software engineering skills to help protect millions of customers and colleagues?

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're continuing our digital transformation and investing heavily in technology, data and security. Within our Chief Security Office, the Insider Risk Management team plays a critical role in helping keep our customers, colleagues and assets safe!

We're a collaborative team of insider risk analysts and software engineers who work together to improve how we identify, investigate and manage insider risk.

This is primarily a front-end engineering role, with approximately 60% of your time focused on designing, building and enhancing user-facing applications. The remaining time will be spent supporting back-end services, APIs and integrations that underpin these solutions.

As a Software Engineer, you'll:

• Build and enhance user-facing applications that improve analyst workflows, case management and risk investigations.
• Design and develop detection capabilities and software solutions that help identify potential insider risk events.
• Explore emerging technologies and third-party solutions, bringing new ideas and challenging existing approaches.
• Improve processes through automation, analytics and modern engineering practices.
• Collaborate across the team to share knowledge, develop engineering capability and contribute to innovation initiatives, hackathons and technical communities.

• Problem Solving: Analysing complex challenges, identifying root causes and creating practical, scalable solutions.
• Collaboration: Working effectively with engineers, analysts and stakeholders to achieve shared objectives.
• Experience integrating APIs into modern, data-driven applications.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS or Azure.
• Interest in data analysis and using data to identify patterns, anomalies and opportunities.

We know skills can be developed in many different ways. If your experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement listed, we'd still love to hear from you.

• Ethical and responsible use of AI and machine learning technologies.
• Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
