  • Collaborate with architecture and engineering teams to evolve cloud platform strategy
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to platform engineering standards and communities of practice

  • Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Harness)
  • Strong knowledge of containers and orchestration (Kubernetes)
  • Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio)
  • Knowledge of API design and security (REST, OpenAPI, authentication, authorisation, mTLS)
  • Scripting skills in Python, Bash or PowerShell
  • Experience defining and managing SLOs/SLIs

Cloud expertise (GCP preferred)

  • Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
  • Cloud Load Balancing
  • Cloud Armor
  • Istio (service mesh)
  • Cloud Monitoring / Stackdriver

Desirable experience

  • API management tools (e.g. Apigee)
  • CI/CD tooling (e.g. Harness)
  • Secrets management (e.g. HashiCorp Vault)
  • Monitoring tools (e.g. Dynatrace)
  • Container tooling (Docker, Buildah, Podman)
  • Experience with Node.js for API tooling
  • Relevant Azure or GCP certifications

Why join us?

Returner opportunities

Returning to work after time away can be challenging. That’s why we offer Returner opportunities that are designed to assist people returning to work after a career break of 18 months or more and our roles are permanent from the day one. Whether you’ve been away from work due to parenthood, illness, or even travel, we’re looking forward to hearing from you as we continue to grow!

What can you expect?

Coming back into the world of work after a career break can be really daunting – and we therefore know how important flexibility is. We’re very aware that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, so will happily have the discussion about different working patterns with you.

These roles have been created with your career break in mind, making sure we are there to support you in your transition back to work. You will be brought in on a permanent contract and given meaningful work from day one. Plus, you’ll be paired with a buddy or mentor from your team to help guide you along the way. You’ll also benefit from being part of the wider Returners Community and have the chance to create a personal development plan that works for you.

Who are we looking for?

While banking or professional services experience is desirable, especially for some roles, we care more about the transferable skills you can bring to our business.

Testimonials

I had a good network of colleagues already working for Lloyds Banking Group, who were all very passionate about their roles - so it felt the right choice for me and gave me the courage to apply for a Business Analyst role through the Returners. It was a seamless recruitment experience and I was offered a role in the work I wanted to do.

Olufunke Oladinni, Business Analyst
