About this opportunity
Want to use your software engineering skills to help protect millions of customers and colleagues?
At Lloyds Banking Group, we're continuing our digital transformation and investing heavily in technology, data and security. Within our Chief Security Office, the Insider Risk Management team plays a critical role in helping keep our customers, colleagues and assets safe!
We're a collaborative team of insider risk analysts and software engineers who work together to improve how we identify, investigate and manage insider risk. We combine software engineering, analytics and behavioural insights to deliver the Group's Insider Strategy, support data-led decision making and contribute to industry-wide conversations on insider risk!
We're looking for a Software Engineer with strong front-end development experience to help us develop innovative tools and capabilities.
This is primarily a front-end engineering role, with approximately 60% of your time focused on designing, building and enhancing user-facing applications. The remaining time will be spent supporting back-end services, APIs and integrations that underpin these solutions.
As a Software Engineer, you'll:
- Build and enhance user-facing applications that improve analyst workflows, case management and risk investigations.
- Design and develop detection capabilities and software solutions that help identify potential insider risk events.
- Explore emerging technologies and third-party solutions, bringing new ideas and challenging existing approaches.
- Improve processes through automation, analytics and modern engineering practices.
- Collaborate across the team to share knowledge, develop engineering capability and contribute to innovation initiatives, hackathons and technical communities.
