About this opportunity
The Chief Security Office (CSO) plays a vital role in protecting the Group and our customers from security threats, while enabling the business to evolve its services safely and at pace. Our mission is to help the bank move faster, safely - with engineering at the heart of how we build and operate secure systems.

This includes designing and building system-to-system interfaces, self-service APIs, and data processing tools impacting critical security operations across CSO and the wider Group.
You’ll work on data processing systems written in Python hosted in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with code and infrastructure managed in GitHub.
We value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
