About this opportunity
The Cloud Platform team is on the journey to create the next generation technical platform for Lloyds Banking Group that will be at the core of one of the UK’s biggest financial service transformations. We’re looking for a Cloud Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our Cloud SRE team within the Cloud Platform.
The successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to be part of an ambitious team with the purpose of driving our tech modernisation agenda and enable Lloyds Banking Group to become the biggest Fintech in the UK.
As a Cloud SRE you’ll be an active and leading member of a cloud-focused team of engineers – working on one of the Group’s flagship projects to run and maintain a set of products and services on the Azure and Google Cloud Platforms that will enable the business to realise the next generation of services that form the Bank’s vision for 2024 and beyond!

Day to day, you’ll be:

  • Delivering against SRE Public Cloud technology roadmaps
  • Handling Incidents and Service requests to assist other engineering teams to build, release and evolve enterprise-class solutions, that are reliable and evergreen as cloud technologies continue to mature as a fast-pace
  • The role will require engineers to be responsible for the operations of a large set of Cloud products and services (including 24x7 coverage by participating in pager-duty/on-call rota)

Why Lloyds Banking Group
Like the modern Britain we serve, we’re evolving. Investing billions in our people, data, and tech to transform the way we meet the ever-changing needs of our 26 million customers. We’re growing with purpose. Join us on our journey and you will too.

What you’ll need:

  • Experience working with GCP or Azure products (or extensive experience with another Public Cloud platform, such as AWS)
  • Strong DevOps understanding, including experience of Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines, such as Terraform and Jenkins, or alternatives such as Azure DevOps
  • Ability to quickly understand languages such as Python, Groovy, BASH, PowerShell
  • An understanding of Cloud security and networking
  • Experience in problem-solving, able to demonstrate logical thinking and excellent troubleshooting skills
  • Demonstrate a passion to continue to learn and develop your engineering skills
  • Strong understanding and demonstrable use of source control practice and collaborative working as part of an engineering team
  • Experience in automating/scripting to remove toil

Any experience of these would be really useful

  • Experience of working with Kubernetes clusters in a production environment
  • Leadership experience including line management, team leadership, mentoring and task management
  • A strong track record of delivering operational improvements and automation
  • Candidates with less direct experience in cloud engineering, who can demonstrate strong skills in other areas such as sysadmin, software engineering or other technology/engineering disciplines who also are able to quickly adapt and pick up new skills will also be considered

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 performance-related bonus
  • Share schemes including free shares
  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
  • Up to 30 days holiday, with bank holidays on top
  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies.

We keep your data safe. So, we’ll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us which is when we run our background checks.
