Together, we can grow with purpose.


About our team:


Our aim is to deliver the highest quality customer driven software whilst continually challenging, motivating, mentoring and supporting their engineering teams.

You will work in cross-disciplinary teams delivering exciting customer driven solutions and high-quality software.


This is a leadership level role and will blend both deep domain and technical expertise within a feature team and great passion for coaching and developing people in a "player-coach" model.


About the role:


This is an outstanding opportunity for a passionate, pro-active individual to join the Climate Risk Lab as an Engineering Lead, within the Enterprise Risk Platform.


Our purpose & vision is to support the Risk Division to build the next generation climate risk function to enable LBG to support the UK's transition to a low-carbon economy, through developing climate risk data, metrics and models, and providing thought leadership to drive the embedding of Climate Risk frameworks and methodologies to support compliance with SS3/19 and our regulatory commitments.


We're trail blazing the use of new exciting technology as part of our strategic roadmap and the right person will lead and work in a cross-disciplinary team and act as advocate for technology standards & governance, providing a voice to software engineers within the teams.


The practical things we need you to do:

  • Lead a team of engineers delivering Climate Risk changes, on the as-is systems and the new strategic landscape. Around 20 engineers are working on this activity today, and we're looking to expand further.
  • Own and lead the roadmap activity for Climate Risk solutions, working with Labs across the Enterprise Risk Platform (ERP) and Enterprise Architecture to design the strategic Climate Risk landscape and the delivery mechanism that delivers to this target architecture in agreed transition states.
  • Support with planning, leading and coordinating the technical delivery, governance controls, planning of activities, communication and engagement across the business teams and lab working with Product Owners & business analysts.
  • Engage and oversee the technical aspects of 3rd party deliveries as part of Climate Risk deliveries
  • Respond to individual and team objectives and invests in improving personal performance by growing own skills and capabilities, mentoring others when required.
  • Show welldeveloped interpersonal, communication and influencing skills, particularly the ability to convey key business information arising from sophisticated issues to nontechnical people.

Skills & experience that are essential for this role:

  • Previous demonstrable experience in a hands-on technical leadership role, blending both leadership and technical expertise.
  • 5 years + in Software Engineering with experience in designing and leading design change across complex operational and technology landscapes
  • Experience of implementing modern, scalable data and model solutions using a range of new and emerging technologies from the Google Cloud Platform

Any experience of these would be really useful:

  • Hands on experience working with Google Data Products (e.g. BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, AI Building Blocks, Cloud Data Fusion, GKE, GCS etc.)
  • Knowledge of Jenkins, Terraform, Kubernetes.
  • Knowledge of Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Risk modelling or Reporting
  • Understanding of Climate Risk or Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) concepts
  • Knowledge of DevOps techniques & implementation approaches in the delivery
  • Experience of working with or in a Data Science role.
