The Role

• We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us deliver APIs for our mobile channel to deliver compelling customer experiences across banking and insurance.
• As a senior engineer, we’d be looking to you to lead API feature builds and technical proof of concepts, help advise on industry best practices, leveraging your experience to assist in design and discovery phases and ultimately enhance our engineering team.
• Senior engineers are the lynchpin of our teams, working closely with junior engineers and product owners on everyday challenges, while also assisting our lead and principal engineers on our longer-term technology goals.
• We will give you the opportunity to develop your technical and leadership skill sets further through structured pathway training and industry accreditation.
• Our engineering culture is part of what makes us a great place to work, and we encourage all our engineers to share new ideas, challenge existing practices and always be looking for opportunities to improve their teams and our wider engineering community.

What you’ll bring

We don’t expect you to tick every box, and if you feel you hit most of the brief, it’s worth exploring to further develop your career here with us at Tesco Bank.

• Strong experience in API development using Java and/or Kotlin and a proven track record of designing and developing complex software systems. Our API platform is built using Spring, Spring Boot, Java, Kotlin, REST, AWS, Jenkins, GitHub, Cucumber, Splunk & Data Dog, and we are looking for software engineers who have practical experience on these platforms, or equivalent.
• A keen desire to get involved. We expect everyone to get involved in the design and support of our API platform. Our teams perform best when we collaborate, and we rely on our senior engineers to help us make the right decisions.
• A passion for sharing your experience. We know the journey of every engineer is different, so we encourage our senior engineers to actively mentor and support our junior engineers in their own journey. #KP-LI1
