About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Assured Build team, where you’ll engineer and scale secure, automated solutions across Lloyds Banking Group (LBG).
This role focuses on bolstering engineering capability by:
- Designing and scaling automation for secure infrastructure
- Integrating security baselines into engineering workflows
- Embedding Security Relevant Configuration (SRC) controls into code, pipelines, and platform tooling
- Developing frictionless, scalable security solutions with a focus on DevOps-led delivery
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll contribute to enterprise-scale automation (including CI/CD integration, tooling, and data-driven reporting), delivering resilient, scalable security outcomes.
Within this, you’ll be largely responsible for:
- Assuring security configurations in static build artefacts and CI/CD pipelines
- Reducing manual effort, increasing consistency, and improving coverage across infrastructure and software
- Driving automation, reuse of security artefacts, and embedding security earlier in the development lifecycle
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
