Job Description

Here at The Very Group we’re on an exciting journey to transform our technology estate and create even better experiences for our customers. We’re doing that by modernising our existing systems and platforms, utilising a wider variety of modern, cloud-based technologies. We encourage diversity, both in terms of people, technical skills and knowledge.

It supports Account Management, Credit Risk, Fraud, Collections and Recoveries, Customer Payments, Insurance and Retail Credit Products, and will help drive future expansion into new FS products including Personal Loans.

The FS Tribe working model differs drastically from traditional cross-functional teams that typically focus on a single project. Our squads are essentially small start-ups that will take on multiple projects at a time and they will build a part of the product, or even create a full new product. Since each squad has contributors or owners from every domain from engineering to product, or mobile to design any squad has the breadth and the depth in terms of skill for end-to-end ownership.

Our strategy will see us both build and rent (aaS) industry leading technologies to deliver secure, stable, innovation. We will build using appropriate technology such as: Java amp; Spring Boot, JavaScript, Go, Python, Event Driven architectures, Amazon AWS services such as AWS RDS (Oracle), ECS, EKS, Fargate and Lambda.

  • Continuously improving and learning how we design our Databases. Managing technical debt, technical risk while building out standards
  • Working with the Technical Product Owner and Software Engineering Lead to ensure we have the right skills blend to successfully deliver and run our technology products
  • Working with our Squads to amend the Database structures with a view to refactoring and future decomposition
  • Reviewing the legacy Database in order to understand its design and to identify opportunities for improvements in performance and security
  • Designing new Databases in the cloud using the AWS Oracle RDS Managed Service
  • Designing the future FS Database Architecture to support our future expansion into new product areas including other AWS offerings not limited to the Oracle RDS service
