What you'll be doing…

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Assured Build team, engineering and scaling secure, automated solutions across LBG.

This role is focused on building the engineering capability that underpins Assured Build - building automation, integrating security baselines into engineering workflows, and enabling secure-by-design delivery by embedding Security Relevant Configuration (SRC) controls into code, pipelines, and platform tooling. You'll develop and enhance services that reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and increase coverage of security assurance across infrastructure and software.

Working in an agile, DevOps-led environment, you'll contribute to enterprise-scale automation (including CI/CD integration, tooling, and data-driven reporting) to deliver resilient, scalable, and frictionless security outcomes.

We support teams by…

Assuring security configurations in both static build artefacts and CI/CD pipelines

Driving greater automation, consistency, and reuse of security artefacts

Embedding security earlier into the engineering lifecycle

This is an opportunity to work at the innovative forefront of secure-by-design engineering, helping to embed security seamlessly into how technology is built and delivered.

Why Join us?

If you think all banks are the same, you're wrong. We're a pioneering, fast-changing business that's shaping finance as a force for good. If you're after a role where you can have an impact and do the best work of your career, you've just found it

What we're looking for?

We're looking for engineers who are curious, proactive, and motivated to continuously improve how security is delivered.

You'll bring…

Experience in software engineering and DevOps practices, ideally within a large-scale or enterprise environment

Experience with scripting and programming languages (e.g. Python, JavaScript, PowerShell) and working with pipelines or automation tooling

Hands-on technical experience with the ability to write, fix, and improve code

A broad understanding of cyber security domains, including cloud security (Azure and/or GCP)

An outcome-focused approach, with the ability to deliver end-to-end solutions while maintaining attention to detail

A strong understanding of secure-by-design principles across the development lifecycle

A passion for automating repetitive tasks and improving engineering efficiency

Clear understanding of containerisation technologies and associated tooling (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and repository-based workflows (e.g. GitHub or similar)

And any experience of these would be great..

Exposure to vulnerability scanning, configuration assurance, or security tooling

Working with databases and data-driven solutions

Building automation or workflow solutions (e.g. Power Platform)
