• You are a deeply hands-on engineer who thrives on solving complex, enterprise-scale problems.

We are a team of high-performing engineers transforming how technology is delivered across the bank.
Together we’re building the platforms and capabilities that power tomorrow’s bank.

Do work that matters

Here, you’ll turn your passion into impact, working on modern platforms and engineering solutions that enable faster, simpler and more scalable outcomes across the organisation.

You’ll contribute to building secure, reliable systems that underpin critical business capabilities, while helping shape how technology supports broader business objectives and drives meaningful results.

By leveraging cloud-native technologies and modern engineering practices, you’ll help create standardised, resilient platforms that enable rapid delivery and continuous improvement.

See yourself in our team

As a Staff Software Engineer in the Digitisation & Enablement Crew, you’ll play a key role in shaping architecture, uplifting engineering standards, and mentoring engineers across the team.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You’ll spend most of your time designing and building production systems, while influencing technical direction and contributing to broader technology strategy.

Can connect technical decisions to business outcomes
Thrive in collaborative environments and challenge ideas constructively
Care deeply about simplicity, quality, and long-term maintainability
Actively mentor others and raise the engineering bar

Technical capability

We use a broad range of technologies. You don’t need all of them — strong fundamentals and depth matter most.

Our ecosystem includes:
Java / Spring Boot / Temporal / AWS Native Services

Cloud & DevOps

AWS (cloud-native architectures)
Kubernetes, Docker
CI/CD (GitHub, Teamcity Octopus)
Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation)
Observability and monitoring tools
