Swindon, United Kingdom Nationwide Building Society Full time

Senior Android Engineer (with Line Management)

Swindon

Hybrid role (x2 per week on site/ x3 from home)


Nationwide Building Society has always delivered great service in new ways: for example, we were one of the first UK financial services providers to provide online banking. Now we want to extend and unify our service for our members and our colleagues, helping us keep and extend our lead as the nation’s best regarded building society.


We’re looking for senior engineers with passion, creativity, determination, and enthusiasm that will help us uncover the best ways of delivering value in the future. Right now, our technology stack includes app development in Swift and Kotlin, server-side work in Node and .NET Core, and infrastructure in Kubernetes and Terraform.


We understand that learning is essential for us to grow as engineers, so we’ll provide access to learning platforms, together with subscriptions to developer portals, regular training courses, and the time that you need to learn. There are plenty of opportunities for you to teach, too

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 job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either Swindon, Nationwide House or Swindon, Ramsbury house hub. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.


What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Mobile Engineer working within our Mobile sub-domain in, you’ll be at the heart of helping our members.

You will be expected to line manage a small agile team. You will be leading by example, coaching, and guiding your team, to ensure they have the right skills and allocations to work efficiently and self-sufficiently and avoiding key man dependencies.

You’ll have clear ideas on where improvements can be made and focus on process efficiency and performant teams. You will be working closely with the Lead engineers, Product Owner, Scrum Master, and SMEs in the platform to achieve positive change and deliver value quicker.

As you will have a small team, you will have plenty of time to be hands on. We will expect you to support the development of our new native mobile banking app.

You will participate in code and design reviews, collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new features

You will contribute to backlog refinement, providing technical guidance and making sure requirements have been defined properly, and be accountable for your team’s delivery.

Our Customer First behaviours are all about putting customers and members at the heart of how we work together. You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these.

  • Say it straight - This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It’s also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand.
  • Push for better - This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members.
  • Get it done - This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you’re sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it’s a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.]
