Senior Software Engineer (SDLC, GitHub Actions)

Project description

You'll join the TDI Engineering Platforms and Practice group as a Senior Software Engineer. The group defines, builds and enforces software delivery standards across the organisation. You'll work alongside an established team of engineers to build tooling that helps hundreds of application teams automate and control how they release software to production.

Responsibilities

• Design and build reusable GitHub workflows for adoption by application teams
• Develop control automation in partnership with Control Owners
• Instrument the product to understand how teams use it and to identify opportunities for improvement
• Measure the effectiveness of our solutions through data analysis and user feedback, and refine them continuously
• Engage directly with application teams to gather requirements and understand the range of practices they use to build software
• Support application teams in adopting our tooling by directly answering user queries.
• Produce clear, user-focused documentation that enables teams to self-serve

SKILLS

Must have

• Experience writing well-tested backend code in TypeScript or JavaScript for Node.js
• Experience with modern software development practices, such as Test-Driven Development (TDD), trunk-based development, iterative delivery and small, frequent releases
• Proven ability to build software with a product mindset, breaking down vague requirements into deliverables that fit the wider product strategy

Nice to have

• CI/CD: hands-on experience designing and maintaining continuous integration and delivery pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, TeamCity or Jenkins, including reusable workflows, pipeline security and automated quality gates • Infrastructure: practical experience deploying and running applications on Google Cloud Platform, including containerising services with Docker, orchestrating workloads with Kubernetes and managing releases with Helm charts • Build tooling: familiarity with build and dependency management tools such as Maven, Gradle and npm, including configuring builds, managing dependencies and producing versioned artefacts • Regulated environments: experience building software in a regulated industry, such as financial services, with an understanding of the controls, audit and compliance requirements that apply to software delivery
