Description
Engineering Lead
Glasgow
As a Barclays Engineering Lead, you will work with the scrum teams and members from a central Performance Engineering team to test the performance of the systems, documenting issues and work with whomever it takes to identify root cause of any issues. This will be the ideal opportunity for someone self-motivated and results focused, who can drive the prevention of any significant performance problems from hitting Production at a large scale.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
