Working within the Financial Wellbeing Lab you'll play a pivotal role in the next stage of our transformation journey. The Lab's purpose is to create an industry leading experience to help our customers before, during and after financial difficulty. We'll ensure we help them become more financially resilient and improve their overall financial wellbeing.

We aim to achieve this purpose through improving colleague tools, creating solutions to allow customers to better manage their day-to-day finances, and by simplifying the Customer Financial Assistance systems through an increased focus on Test Automation, DevOps Cloud technologies and Rationalisation.

Our aim is to build a forward-thinking engineering culture delivering high quality, efficient and positive impact outcomes for our customers. The role of the Software Engineer is vital in ensuring the products we deliver are fit for purpose and meet the quality and standards that our customers expect.

What you'll do:

• Work in cross-disciplinary feature teams delivering exciting customer driven solutions and high quality software.
• Showcase excellent interpersonal and communications skills whilst efficiently working across the project life cycle to ensure software operates as intended
• Work in a highly collaborative way to complete assigned work, showcase progress and address problems that are well defined, complex and often non-routine.
• Continually develop with industry leading methodologies in order to advance the direction of Software Engineering in Lloyds.
• Work with Lab Engineer (& chapter) to ensure platforms and software are built consistently with relevant patterns and practices.
• Be a strong contributor to the Engineering Communities & Guilds, helping to build the community and building the capabilities of others

Key Experience

• Front end development - Enables us to build applications for the colleague & customer. Typically via the creation of the visual interface of an online or digital asset using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS or UI development
• Back end development - Makes sure everything works well for our colleague & customers and helps us use data in the right way. It is the coding of scripts in web sites and applications that interact with servers and databases so that their functionality is delivered to the end user. Typically we use c#, Mainframe (COBOL/JCL), SQL, Oracle/Unix and JAVA/CICS/DB2.
• Business Rules - This development brings to life the various functional aspects of our systems to drive interaction between our colleagues and customers and also support our colleagues in servicing customer needs.
• Agile Delivery - Agile delivery methods encourage teams to focus on collaboration, transparency, continuous improvement and the delivery of the highest value item first. It is useful when going after a complex problem that requires experimentation and continued adaption. Scrum is a key method we use which advocates a series of meetings (ceremonies) and activities known as sprints to help teams deliver change

Desirable

• Understand and direct how components and services are developed, tested and progressed within Chapters
• DevOps Knowledge - Helps us link our teams operating in agile delivery models with our operations teams who are running live services. Enabling us to create a culture of 'own what you build'.

Our group values of Keeping it Simple, Making a Difference Together and Putting customers First is at the heart of our ethos so a commitment to improvement, combined with adaptability, a love of learning, and a collaborative approach are key for us.

We're passionate about equal opportunities across all facets of our organisation. If you're self-motivated, passionate about delivering phenomenal solutions and interested in joining us at a critical and exciting time, then we'd love to hear from you.

Together we make it possible.
