Job description

Some careers shine brighter than others. If you're looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential.

You are expected to meet in the office twice a week or as advised by local Poland entity. All teams in GBM IT teams are moving their systems towards smaller micro services including ours (average 100-150 micro services running) - this allows "pods" of developers to work on their service, they can release small changes more frequently and more safely (this team release to production daily) and ultimately get working software in the hands of our users and clients as soon as possible. We also use agile development practices and tooling to develop our systems iteratively. These are high volume financial markets systems - which means that efficient performance, scalability and design are key aspects of your technology role. We are Dev Ops - the team is responsible for all aspects of developing the system - this may mean automating testing or deployment or making sure the live systems are instrumented so the team can support them. In GBM IT if something doesn't work or causes problems you are empowered to fix it. You will be passionate about the software you deliver and want to take responsibility for all aspects including production service. We are developers but ultimately, we own what we build and that means taking it in turns monitor the live system during the working day (shared with our colleagues in London) and very occasionally we may need to deal with issues out of hours. You will ensure your software is compliant with all internal cybersecurity controls and fix vulnerabilities where necessary. You will work in close collaboration with colleagues in Guangzhou, Toronto and London.
