  • Be a technical leader in the team, driving the delivery of complex and ambiguous projects

What we’re looking for

  • Great communicator, willing to get involved, talk to our customers, share ideas, teach and lead amongst peers
  • You’re happy working across a variety of technologies and platforms to identify and solve solve complex problems working up and down the technology stack
  • You really care about making a difference to each and every developer’s experience
  • You bring an analytical mindset with a clear focus on delivering value for both the organisation and our customers inline with stakeholder expectations
  • Experience with the concepts of infrastructure as code and CI/CD
  • Strong programming skills in one or more languages (such as Java or TypeScript) 
  • Solid understanding of Amazon Web Services (AWS) or alternative cloud platforms
  • You’re a stickler for efficiency and effectiveness
  • Proven experience in technical leadership

Where and how you'll work

We have a hybrid working model which gives you flexibility to work from our offices and from home.

We’re big on collaboration and connection, so you’ll be based in our Nottingham office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

What’s in it for you

  • Bring us all this and you’ll be rewarded with a role contributing to the product roadmap for an organisation committed to transformation

  • We’re continuing our journey into the public cloud and have problems of scale, security, availability and performance for you to help solve

  • We love continuous learning and that’s why we give you 10% of your time to work on cutting edge innovative projects that shape the way we will work in the future

  • We offer high performers strong and diverse career progression, investing heavily in developing great people through our Capital One University training programmes (and appropriate external providers)
