About us

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you!

About this opportunity

We're largest provider of Mortgages in the UK, with over 2 million active Mortgages. We have placed Mortgages at the heart of our strategy to become the best bank for customers.

Our DevOps team is passionate about crafting new and innovative solutions for our internal customers that transform our customer and colleague experience. Our culture brings together inquisitive and committed people from a diverse set of backgrounds that enjoy a collaborative and innovative environment supporting flexible and agile working.

• As a DevOps Engineer, specialising in Azure, you'll work in a highly collaborative way, working closely with other DevOps specialists and engineers from LBG, suppliers and partner resources, located both on and offshore.
• You’ll play a key role working collaboratively with other passionate engineers to build empowered and autonomous teams.
• You’ll love learning new techniques and programming languages; you’re a keen problem solver and you’re willing to leave your comfort zone every now and then.

What you’ll need

• You have Azure DevOps experience, you’re someone who knows what it's all about and you're up for the challenge of helping us on our Azure DevOps journey!
• You have experience of deploying and operating applications in Kubernetes.
• You're dynamic and adaptable – able to learn & use new skills & knowledge in varying circumstances.
• You're a superb communicator, able to work well with a large variety of different people in different roles. You're a strong negotiator and analytical in your approach to tricky problems.
• As a leader and motivator you'll drive positivity - demonstrating the right values and behaviours, encouraging these in other team members.

It would be great if you had…

• Azure DevOps CI and CD YAML pipelines performing code scans, application testing and deployments into AKS using Helm Charts.
• AKS operational management (observability, configuration and monitoring).
• Azure cloud release strategies and implementations.
• Continuous Deployment and Infrastructure as Code, YAML, JSON and GIT for config management.
• Common programming and scripting languages and frameworks e.g. Node.JS, REACT & .Net Core, Powershell and BASH.
• Istio mesh configuration, cert management and deployments.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
• Share schemes including free shares!
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping.
• 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
