Senior Software Engineer

[Sys Ops Speciality] Financial Services Tribe

Here at The Very Group (TVG) 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.

The Financial Services (FS) Tribe is responsible for designing, building, changing and running technology across all our financial products and functions. 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 Cloudwatch, Batch, RDS (Oracle), ECS, EKS, Fargate and Lambda.

As an Engineer with a specific focus on System Operations you will be at the heart of driving this change forward.

Here you can expect to be involved in:

  • Working with a team of Software- and Quality Assurance-Engineers of varying levels of technical database experience in a Squad to provide the operational management of the technologies that underpin the FS Applications
  • Being part of a squad that will look to migrate an on-premise legacy batch operation to cloud hosting
  • Decomposing the operations to build new event driven processes that balances the commercial needs of the business alongside delivering the future technology roadmap
  • Collaborating with the Technical Product Owner, Software Engineering Lead, Architects, Platform Engineers and Third Parties to shape the technology landscape for the operational processes you administer, developing, refining and assuring process standards
  • Building secure systems of high availability and scalability depending on each end user’s specialised requirements
  • Defining users and enabling data distribution to the right user, in appropriate format and in a timely manner
  • Develop and maintain service monitoring and alerting
  • Provide technical expertise in incident management, root cause analysis, post incident decisions and oversee remedial work that is carried out
  • Continuously improving and learning how we design our operational processes. 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

You will work in the Platform Squad in the FS Tribe with initiatives such as:

  • Reviewing the legacy batch operation to understand its design and to identify opportunities for improvements in performance, security and future decomposition
  • Designing and building new event driven processes on a cloud platform ensuring they comply with TVG support standards in a 24 x 7 production environment
  • Designing and building new batch processes on a cloud platform where appropriate to support the new technology stack in a 24 x 7 production environment
