Technology is central to all aspects of our global business, which is why we have specialised development teams all over the world, specifically Europe, China and North America. One of the key elements to Global Banking, is the electronic trading in the financial markets.
Can you develop applications for a diverse set of FX (Foreign Exchange) for financial institutions?
Your role :
We are Dev Ops - your team is responsible for all aspects of developing the system - this may mean automating testing or deployment or making sure the live systems are instrumented so the team can support them. In GBM IT if something doesn’t work or causes problems you are empowered to fix it.
• Our systems are Java deployed to Linux. Some systems use SQL RDBMS. Our Front Ends are in Javascript/HTML5.
• All teams are moving their systems towards smaller micro services including ours – this allows “pods” of developers to work on their service, they can release small changes more frequently and more safely (this team release to production daily) and ultimately get working software in the hands of our users and clients as soon as possible. We also use agile development practices and tooling to develop our systems iteratively.
• You will deliver and want to take responsibiliy for all aspects including production service. We are developers but ultimatley we own what we build and that means taking it in turns monitor the live system during the workng day (shared with our colleagues in London) and very occasionally we may need to deal with issues out of hours.
