Technical Lead for Enterprise Analytics Platforms
You'll be joining our Engineering team as a Technical Lead for Enterprise Analytics Platforms, with responsibility for the technical direction, engineering and operational ownership of our SAS estate and wider analytics platform landscape.
Our platforms support critical regulatory, risk, finance and analytical workloads across the society. As we evolve from traditional SAS Grid environments towards a modern analytics ecosystem integrating cloud services, data platforms and emerging technologies, we're looking for a lead who can combine deep technical expertise with strong platform ownership.
This is a senior hands-on role working across infrastructure, analytics platforms, integrations, automation and operational engineering. You'll be responsible for maintaining the reliability, resilience and performance of critical production services while driving platform modernisation and continuous improvement initiatives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll work closely with business stakeholders, architects, vendors and engineering teams to influence platform strategy, deliver secure, scalable and future-ready capabilities that support some of the society’s most important business functions.
Hybrid Working
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon, London, Glasgow or Gosforth site approximately once per week. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
