About this opportunity

Our team in Enterprise Risk Platform is passionate about crafting new services that transform the customer and colleague experience. Our culture brings together inquisitive, hardworking, people from a diverse group of backgrounds that enjoy a collaborative and innovative environment that supports flexible and agile working

Working within the Prudential & Analytics lab, you will work with other quality and data engineers and work with Risk customers to design and deploy data solutions that underpin the financial stability of Lloyds Banking Group.

This is an outstanding opportunity to work in a team delivering regulatory and technology change!

We're seeking a role model to other engineers and help our journey in automation by providing technical expertise and insight, and to support customers by ensuring the products we deliver are fit for purpose and meet the quality and standards expected.

We're looking for someone who can help build out our automation capabilities and apply DevOps practices as we transition our processes to Google Cloud, working closely with quality engineers to do so. If you have experience in quickly grasping new technical challenges and have a good understanding of how to integrate pipelines to automate our software delivery and scripting processes, then you would be an asset to our team!

We are on a journey of moving our architecture from on-prem infrastructure to Cloud based technology and looking to apply DevOps practices to our processes where possible.

We work using agile delivery practices, so a self-led individual capable of accurately estimating and planning their own work would be valued highly.
