We have close to three million Mass Affluent customers, and we are working hard to create greenfield personalised and tailored offering to ensure a beautiful banking experience.

Desirable:
• Knowledge of the open-source Android ecosystem and the libraries available for common tasks and benchmarking and optimisation
• Unit, UI and Snapshot Testing
• Solid understanding of software architecture (MVVM), design patterns (SOLID, DRY) and best practices (specifically Google's Android design principles, interface guidelines)
• In-depth knowledge and experience of interacting with RESTful APIs
• Demonstrated experience collaborating with Product and Design colleagues to drive outcomes for customers
• A good understanding of Git, source code management and managing change.
• Knowledge and experience of agile development practices, continuous integration and test automation (e.g. TDD, BDD).
• Excellent interpersonal and team working skills
• Experience of technical guidance and mentoring.
Here’s how you’ll make a difference:
• Collaborating across the Bank to ensure seamless integration of Android applications with other systems
• Having an excellent understanding of Agile software development and supporting continuous improvement of your team
• Contribute to levelling up how we design, build and operate mobile native software as scale within the Bank through the wider engineering community
• Technically mentor and develop your colleagues, providing clear and constructive feedback, through code reviews and design documents

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms
We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.
We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.
And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.
We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:
• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

So, we'll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us which is when we run our background checks. We'll always explain what we need and why, with any request coming from a trusted Lloyds Banking Group person.
We're focused on creating a values-led culture and are committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Together we’re building a truly inclusive workplace where all of our colleagues have the opportunity to make a real difference.
