Provideing technical leadership across business‑critical payment services (e.g. Faster Payments, CHAPS, COP), shaping architecture and delivery beyond a single team.
Owning end‑to‑end technical outcomes at team or lab level, accountable for quality, resilience, and delivery predictability.

Leading on complex design decisions for low‑latency, resilient, secure, and compliant payment solutions.

Proven experience designing and delivering resilient, scalable, and secure payment services , ideally within complex, regulated environments.
Strong systems and solution design capability , with evidence of leading technical decisions beyond a single feature or component
Demonstrated technical leadership , setting engineering standards, reviewing designs and code, and improving quality and DevOps maturity at team or product level.
Deep expertise in modern microservices, APIs, event‑driven architectures , and non‑functional requirements such as latency, availability, and recoverability.
Clear ownership of live service health , including incident response, root‑cause analysis, and preventative resilience improvements.
Ability to scale technical impact by mentoring engineers, influencing stakeholders, and improving platform‑level ways of working.
Technical understanding of the following: Spring boot, Camel, Maven, GitHub, Jenkins, JSON, Kafka/WMQ, REST APIs, Database SQL, Docker and Kubernetes.
Experience working on any one of the cloud-based tools - IBM Cloud Private, Google GCP, MS Azure, Amazon AWS.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities, and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.
