About this opportunity

The Chief Security Office (CSO) plays a vital role in protecting the Group and our customers from security threats, while enabling the business to evolve its services safely and at pace. Our mission is to help the bank move faster, safely - with engineering at the heart of how we build and operate secure systems.

As a member of our collaborative Engineering team, integrated within the Vulnerability Management function, you'll be part of shaping how the bank interacts with security by creating the technology that underpins key parts of CSO's data management capabilities. This includes designing and building system-to-system interfaces, self-service APIs, and data processing tools impacting critical security operations across CSO and the wider Group.

You'll work on data processing systems written in Python hosted in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with code and infrastructure managed in GitHub.

We value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning, and we're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

What You'll Need

· Proficiency in Python application development; experience with other languages is a plus

· Experience building and deploying software in cloud environments; GCP and CloudRun (Knative) advantageous

· Strong understanding of data-intensive application design and development

· Familiarity with Agile methodologies and collaborative development tools

· Collaborative mindset with a commitment to inclusive team culture

And any experience of these would be useful

· A strong grasp of secure software design and the ability to share best practices with colleagues

· Experience working with containerised applications, especially in public cloud environments

· Knowledge of GitOps practices for continuous deployment and infrastructure as code

· A passion for learning new technologies and staying current with industry trends
