Join us as a Software Developer

• We’ll look to you to develop and implement core infrastructure technologies, products and services against customer and non-functional requirements, especially in a PowerShell controls environment

• You’ll work with colleagues across the bank, allowing you to expand your network and gain exposure for you and your work

What you’ll do
As a Software Developer, you’ll be contributing to and managing the selection, creation and maintenance of infrastructure technologies within the Collaboration Controls Team.

The skills you’ll need
To succeed in this role, you’ll need the ability to understand how compliance and controls can be applied and monitored against a variety of underlying infrastructure technologies and how your area of expertise supports customers, from the core development of technology to risk based decisions.
