Step into a pivotal role where architecture meets innovation. As a Technology Architect in our Cloud and DevOps squads, you’ll shape the future of the Bank’s technology estate by designing scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions that deliver real business impact. From Azure to Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines to Infrastructure as Code, you’ll guide engineering teams to bring elegant, robust designs to life. This is your chance to define how enterprise platforms evolve, ensuring agility, resilience, and modernisation across both cloud and on-premise environments.
You’ll thrive at the crossroads of strategy and delivery, influencing enterprise-wide decisions while working hands-on with cutting-edge tools and practices. Collaborating with architects, product teams, and senior stakeholders, you’ll translate vision into actionable designs, champion innovation, and drive adoption of best practices across Cloud and DevOps. If you’re ready to make your mark as a trusted leader in shaping next-generation platforms, with the autonomy to innovate and the scope to transform, this is the opportunity to do it.
