About this opportunity

This vacancy lies at the very heart of this within the Identity and Authentication platform. In ID&A, we’re committed to delivering a world-class customer experience by building a brand new Identity & Authentication Platform and enabling our customers to feel safe and secure with their data while accessing our multi-channel digital ecosystem. This is an interesting, exciting, and dynamic problem space, and we’re assembling an elite solution architecture function to help catalyse this journey.

The Solution Architect is vital in ensuring the products we deliver are fit for purpose and meet the quality and standards that our customers expect.  You’ll realise business value by delivering reliable, scalable and working software to our customers. You’ll be responsible for the design, architecture decisions and defining the end-to-end impacts (both functional and non-functional).  You should also be comfortable communicating information to different customers, from business partners to the engineering community.

What will I be doing?

Work with other industry leading architects, engineers and technicians within and outside of the platform to create robust and scalable solution designs

Own the design of solutions throughout the entire delivery lifecycle, providing guidance and direction ensuring alignment to Product objectives.

Through expert engineering and architectural skills, translate high level business requirements into technology architectures that align to the strategic architecture

Lead senior business partners to secure strong engagement for the solution and ensure that delivery aligns to longer term roadmaps

Take designs through governance processes with meaningful architectural artefacts and ensure the required engineering and architecture cohorts are engaged as required throughout the design phase

Mentor and lead other engineers and build a strong team culture through peer-to-peer teamwork and development

Why Lloyds Banking Group

From building a truly sustainable business to creating a place where people love to work, we need colleagues who are up for the challenge of our bold ambitions. Who are excited to push boundaries and make change happen. Together, we can grow with purpose.

What you’ll need

Strong software engineering and architecture background

Experience of working delivering Digital Transformation Solutions

Excellent Partner management skills

Knowledge of agile development practices with a history of technical leadership

Experience across the entire solutions development lifecycle from inception, through build to Production

You'll appreciate and acknowledge the impact of system design decisions on scalability, resilience, and supportability

Experience of API design and architecture patterns

Experience with Public & Private Cloud Solutions, ideally Google Cloud Platform and Open Shift Container Platform

It would be great if you also had:

Knowledge of delivery of microservices to Production

Exposure to Docker and container orchestration tools e.g. Kubernetes

An understanding of Data Architecture

Understanding of Authentication and Authorisation concepts

Experience of designing and implementing zero trust models

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from underrepresented groups.

We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know

We also offer a wide ranging benefits package, which includes:

A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

An annual performance related bonus

Share schemes including free shares

Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top

A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies

Want to do amazing work, that’s interesting and makes a difference to millions of people? Join our journey.

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're driven by a clear purpose; to help Britain prosper. Across the Group, our colleagues are focused on making a difference to customers, businesses and communities. With us you'll have a key role to play in shaping the financial services of the future, whilst the scale and reach of our Group means you'll have many opportunities to learn, grow and develop.

We keep your data safe. So, we'll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us which is when we run our background checks.  We'll always explain what we need and why, with any request coming from a trusted Lloyds Banking Group person. 

We're focused on creating a values-led culture and are committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Together we’re building a truly inclusive workplace where all of our colleagues have the opportunity to make a real difference
