About the job
Job summary
Dstl is the science and technology arm of the Ministry of Defence. We improve the front-line capability of the UK Armed Forces helping keep our country safe.

We’re looking for mathematically strong data scientists to help make AI reliant military systems robust and trustworthy in complex operations to help save lives.
An example of our world class inspiring work is designing and trialling a variety of autonomous air and ground vehicles out in Salisbury plain with the US and Australia. AI models were retrained in flight to meet changing mission situations to enhance commanders’ decision-making.
You could be involved in:
Assessing and improving AI content in Defence and Security safety critical systems in the Air, Sea and Land domains, to ensure that they are safe, secure and protected.
Applying the latest thinking in verification and validation of artificial intelligence and autonomous functions for defence and security purposes.
Innovating to support the delivery of the UK Cyber Strategy by researching algorithms for Cyber defence.
Dstl recognises the importance of diversity and inclusion as people from diverse backgrounds bring fresh ideas. We are committed to building an inclusive working environment in which each employee fulfils their potential and maximises their contribution.
We particularly welcome female and ethnic minority applicants and those from the LGBTQI community, as they are under-represented within Dstl at these levels.

This will enable the Bank to understand, map its critical data assets and assess data resilience across our businesses. You'll focus on what is required to make data resilient, how the data flows, where it is stored, and how do we make the processes surrounding it resilient. This role is looking at business services, applications, assets. You'll need to understand asset classes and have a technical mindset. The role looks at how the data flow and how resilient it is, which includes understanding the elements around it, like messaging queues, batches, databases, external connections and the controls dimensions for integrity, availability and protection. This is not a Data Governance or data quality management role.

You'll understand upcoming regulatory requirements that will impact Data Resilience and the tooling solution (DORA, CTP, Outsourcing and Operational Resilience Regulations etc.). You'll support the establishment of controls and assessment frameworks that identify data vulnerabilities across a complex data and technical landscape (e.g., on premise, 3rd party, middleware, databases, 3rd party applications, messaging queues, data feeds, data connections, APIs, batches, and cloud environments). You'll support the embedding of data assessments engaging a large and diverse stakeholder group including target operating model design, data resilience MI design, data resilience RCSA design, changes to operational resilience, data security, technology, and data policies to embed the standards governing data resilience. You'll analyse outcomes of data resilience annual assessments and identify vulnerabilities from a data perspective across availability, integrity, and security of data. You'll support the creation of data lineage using Ins-Pi and ServiceNow outlining the applications required for each step of the journey, upstream and downstream applications, how data moves in transit or is held at rest across the technology landscape. You'll present findings at senior Governance forums and help drive/shape the execution plan to remediate vulnerabilities next year. What we're looking for We'd welcome applicants from diverse cultural and technological backgrounds, however financial services exposure will be important for this position. We will need to see evidence of the following in your CV: Expert level of understanding of ServiceNow GRC, with experience of implementing bespoke modules. Experience of managing SME's including Solution Architects, Business Analysts & QA Testers. Experience in identifying data resiliency issues on middleware components e.g. batches, messaging queues, third party data connections, encryption, data recovery & backup, data vaulting, data integrity, and cloud technologies. Financial Services experience and exposure to understanding some but not all; payments, cards, pensions, insurance, markets, trade & settlement, logon customer journeys. Technical knowledge of FCA, PRA, EBA guidelines on operational resilience. Strong experience in managing risks and controls. Ability to present to C-Suite level executives and explain complex detail in a consumable format. Desirable (but please apply if you don't have them!)

XiP is building a next-generation cross-asset calculation system for Citi trading desks and enterprise users in the largest global financial markets and exchanges in New York, London, and other major financial hubs. Our team owns multiple Java Spring Boot Services that execute, partition, and track quantitative risk graphs/trades in a distributed environment. These graphs can fail due to their complexity and our system must adapt quickly to these failures to provide a seamless experience for clients. XiP Compute Services are deployed onto OpenShift and Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). An important initiative in 2025 will be onboarding Google's Kubernetes Engine to further expand our coverage. Our system scales on-demand, and we can run up to tens of thousands of replicas of our services across all asset classes. The Senior Java Cloud App Developer will be responsible for leading a variety of engineering and infrastructure activities, including developing new features to our Java calculation services to be compatible with multiple public clouds, interfacing with the High Performance Compute team to determine and challenge requirements/needs to use public cloud providers, and integrating our Java applications with these cloud providers to improve the scalability of the platform. The overall objective of this role is to develop our Java services to be on native cloud services as soon as possible with specific focus on delivering robust technology solutions to XiP Clients. Key Responsibilities: Development of high-quality software, emphasizing simplicity, maintainability, testability, and reuse. Identifying and implementing automation opportunities around testing, monitoring, deployment, and any other manual operations. Participation in code and design reviews. Thorough testing including test automation and performance/load testing. Providing support and assistance to clients. Contributing to architectural standards, development best practices, and promoting adherence to these standards. Develop features on our Java Spring boot Services along with XiP colleagues. Collaborate with the Citi Tech and Infrastructure colleagues and 3rd party public cloud vendors such as AWS and Google Cloud Platform to bring relevant public cloud infra and services into Citi in a timely fashion. Work closely with Citi Cloud Security team to ensure public cloud services undergo proper evaluations speedily, with business priorities upheld.
