Engineering Manager

• We're embarking on an engineering transformation with a key focus on team leadership, engineering excellence and AI enablement.

• You have knowledge that spans across development and operations, including coding, infrastructure management, system admin/engineering, and DevOps Toolchains.

• Together we will build tomorrow’s bank today, using world-leading engineering, technology, and innovation.

See yourself in our team:

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll combine strong technical leadership with people management to drive innovation and growth. You’ll guide a team of engineers, shape tech strategy, influence architecture and design decisions, and prioritise delivery roadmaps. Your role is key in fostering a high-performing, forward-thinking engineering culture while aligning technical execution with business goals.

The Customer Identity & Digital Trust crew focuses on building a full end‑to‑end modern identity solution that is secure, scalable, and channel‑agnostic.

The crew owns the identity platform and foundational capabilities, designing and delivering reusable identity services, APIs, and backend‑for‑frontend (BFF) layers that enable consistent authentication, authorisation, consent, and trust experiences across all customer touchpoints.

This includes:

• Building and operating a modern identity platform that underpins all digital channels

• Designing well‑governed, API‑first services that expose identity and trust capabilities in a secure and extensible way

• Implementing BFFs tailored to channel needs, while keeping core identity logic centralised and reusable

• Enabling channel‑agnostic front‑end experiences, ensuring a consistent customer identity journey

• Embedding security, privacy, and compliance by design, including consent management and digital trust controls

• Supporting product teams with scalable patterns, tooling, and standards to accelerate delivery while maintaining trust and consistency

By focusing on platform thinking over point solutions, the crew enables faster innovation, reduced duplication, and a unified customer identity experience.
