About this opportunity

At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re moving to the next stages of our digital transformation, and it’s our job within the Chief Security Office (CSO) to ensure that we keep our customers, colleagues and assets safe from threat. The CSO’s Security Data Services lab does this by using data to build security insights by working collaboratively with our Data Management and Analytics teams.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Engineer to join the Security Data Services lab to collaborate with the Data Operations, Software Engineers, Data Scientists, and Business SMEs to design, develop, integrate and test Data Product features on the product roadmaps to meet customer needs.

What you’ll do

• Engineer Data Products that are stable, scalable, performant, accessible, testable and secure.
• Utilising endorsed technologies and applying common build patterns to minimise debt.
• Participate in design/implementation reviews and team ceremonies to better understand the work through planning, commit to clear achievable goals, drive appropriate prioritisation, escalate impediments, act on learnings and demonstrate successes.
• Adhering to group policies and frameworks for build and release.
• Participate in Technical Communities to advance shared capabilities.
• Support building a strong team by mentoring early career engineers to advance their technical skills, and by undertaking technical interviews (paired programming) to enable us to hire new engineers.
• Invest to develop your technical and agile skills.

Why Lloyds Banking Group

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.

What you’ll need

• Demonstrable experience designing and building scalable data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows using modern data engineering best practices.
• Strong understanding of data modelling principles and experience designing data architectures for analytics and operational workloads.
• Deep familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services including BigQuery, Cloud Storage and Dataflow.
• Demonstrated experience in leading large-scale data migrations to cloud-based data platforms.
• High level of data literacy: ability to translate business needs into technical data requirements and communicate complex data topics to non-technical partners.
• Proficient in writing clean, maintainable code in SQL and Python, and experience with version control, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform) in a data engineering context. Knowledge of YARA-L would be a great bonus.

It would be great if you also had

• An innovator and change agent who can think out of the box and challenge the status quo to continue to advance our product offering and thus help us protect the bank.
• Experience in the end-to-end delivery of data products using Agile methodologies and DevOps tooling.
• Experience of conducting Show & Tells in a high-performance environment to effectively communicate product insights to team members.
