Where does the role sit and what will I develop?

In the Payments Services Platform, our mission is to provide compliant and efficient payments capabilities for the Group and drive innovation to enable customers to move money confidently, quickly and securely.

The Payments Services Platform sits within Business & Commercial Banking and plays a critical role in providing services across the whole Group.

Your role will be instrumental in driving the engineering and architecture while embedding an agile DevOps mentality across a number of feature teams.

Leading by example, your primary focus will be on delivering change in the New Payments Architecture (NPA) lab.

Your responsibilities, however, will stretch to the growth and development of our people, and of the overall engineering, architecture and DevOpsskills within the lab.

The software you help deliver will focus on supporting our customers in the Faster Payments domain.

You'll form part of the senior management team, focusing on line managing the staff in your teams and taking responsibility for their learning and development.

Staff will be multi-disciplinary including software engineers, quality engineers, solution/architecturestaff and DevOps to name a few.

Through your team you'll aim to deliver the highest quality customer driven software whilst continually challenging, motivating, mentoring and supporting the team.

Form the quorum of our design and decision forum, and support colleagues with advice based on your expertise
Develop technical strategies to transform and modernise our lab
Identify and build relationships with senior leaders to influence and enable the implementation of your strategies
Supporting the management of key stakeholders in the business, and also 3rd parties we partner with
We're moving to utilise private and public cloud so you'll be heavily involved in our move for this area of the business
Oversee multiple feature teams that must define and drive their own solutions and you'll assist in daily delivery activity and defend your recommendations at senior forums
Educate both technical and nontechnical colleagues about DevOps topics and articulate reasoning behind key technical decisions

What do we need to see from applicants?

We like people who come from diverse backgrounds that can bring new and challenging ways of thinking to the team.

Experience within a senior management role in an Engineering function, ideally a background within software development.
Demonstrable team leading and LM skills working within an agile delivery cadence
Architecture and Java Engineering knowledge (enough to advise / question your team, but this role is not hands on).
Technical knowledge of Java Springboot & microservices development
An understanding of Kafka
A broad ranging general level of technical knowledge

What will you get in return?

On top of our excellent salary & benefits packages, this will be a stimulating and exciting position with plenty of opportunities for career growth and development.
