DevSecOps Lead

1 month ago

London, UK, United Kingdom Nationwide Building Society Part time

More than one in ten in the UK are members of Nationwide – how will you help grow our membership further? The Originations team at Nationwide makes it easy for applicants to open new bank accounts, savings accounts or take out loans. We’re looking for a Lead DevSecOps Engineer to help this team securely link their systems to our core banking and identity applications.


As our lead for the Originations DevSecOps team, you’ll have previously met the challenges managing secure Kubernetes clusters using EKS on AWS. You’ll be familiar with standard integration patterns and security using JWT. Your instincts will be to automate everything, and to lead your team as they relentlessly eliminate toil.


You’ll work with your team as they consult with the six groups of engineers in Originations to use best practice as we adopt Istio. We need help, too, as we move to Dynatrace for our observability. And there’ll be more exciting technology coming around the corner: what will you help us decide to use?


Retail Products Originations is the first point of contact for people new to Nationwide, so it’s critical that our systems are a pleasure to use. You’ll help us make sure these systems are resilient and fast; when problems do occur, we’ll look to your calm, structured approach to problem solving.


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, at one of our offices. 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.


We’d expect engineers at this level to be consultants and leaders first, but prepared to roll up their sleeves to get into the technical detail when your team needs more guidance. You’ll work alongside three other Engineers of the same level that lead the different business domains in Originations, and have direct influence on our technology team and Cloud Platform group.


The specific skills we’re looking for include

  • Kubernetes: good working experience of how it works. You’ll have your own set of clusters which your team will run and maintain
  • Integration patterns: in particular, using Istio to simplify and speed configuration
  • Consulting and teaching: you’ll help our teams to do as much themselves as they can, so they can build and run their own systems using the infrastructure your team provides
  • Team leadership: you’ll have a small team of specialists that you will coach, mentor and develop
  • Planning: you’ll take a realistic view of risk and combine this with technical acumen to create and execute realistic plans, typically for a year ahead

It’s great if you’ve worked in a regulated industry like Finance before, but it’s not essential.

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.


There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

  • A personal pension – if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%
  • Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
  • Life assurance worth 8x your salary
  • A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
  • Gympass – Access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness.
  • Access to an annual performance related bonus
  • Access to training to help you develop and progress your career
  • 30 days holiday, pro rata
  • Status car allowance
  • Individual healthcare cover
