DevOps Engineer – Job Description
About the Core Banking Platform
The Core Banking Platform is responsible for the systems that process payments, manage accounts, and deliver essential banking functionality. We serve all areas of the Bank that consume transactional data from our Core Banking Systems—supporting colleague and customer journeys, regulatory reporting, and real-time event streaming. Our platform is moving towards a modern, event-driven architecture, leveraging APIs, cloud-native services, and advanced DevOps tooling to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performing solutions. We work closely with partners across the Group, including Data & Machine Learning, Consumer Lending, and Cloud Services, to deliver strategic account data products and enable the next generation of banking services.
We’re committed to continuous improvement, modernising our tooling (e.g., migrating from Jenkins to Harness for CI/CD enabling blue-green deployments, adoption of backstage as the Internal Developer Portal) and ensuring our engineers have the skills and support to deliver at pace and scale.
About the Role: DevOps Engineer
As a DevOps Engineer in Core Banking, you’ll play a pivotal role in designing, building, and supporting the tools and processes that enable our teams to deliver high-quality software at pace. You’ll work collaboratively across engineering, product, and operations teams to ensure our platform is secure, resilient, and continuously improving.
