What we're looking for:
- Strong Software Architecture background and knowledge of agile development practices with a history of technical leadership
- Experience across the entire software development life cycle from inception, through build to production
- You appreciate and acknowledge the impact of system design decisions on scalability, resilience, and supportability
- Experience of API design and architecture patterns, messaging technologies (Kafka, MQ)
- Exposure to modern application frameworks (Spring boot Java etc)
- Exposure to Open Banking architecture framework
We’d welcome the following desirable skills and experience:
- Knowledge of delivery of microservices to production
- Exposure to Systems Thinking
- Exposure to Docker and container orchestration tools e.g., Kubernetes
- Knowledge in one or more of the following: API Economy; Big Data; Cloud/Open Source; Automation/Robotics; Blockchain
- An understanding of any of the following Payments areas: UK Domestic Payments (Cheques, Faster Payments, BACS); International Payments (SWIFT/SEPA); Trade

- New Payments Architecture
What we can offer you:
In addition to a competitive salary we currently offer a great competitive package that includes a 4% flexible benefit (take a cash-sum / paid with salary), discretionary bonus, up to generous 15% pension contribution, 30 days holidays plus bank holidays, private medical as well as access to a range of share schemes and financial products!
Join us and be part of an inclusive, values-led culture that celebrates diversity, equal opportunity and provides opportunities for flexible working.
Together we'll make it possible. Are you interested in joining us? Apply today; we’d love to hear from you...
