Are experienced in application deployments? Can you support and maintain a number of systems? Do you put the customer at the heart of everything you do? If yes, then we may have the role for you! 

As the Middleware Engineer, you will support Head of IT Operations in the running and maintenance of core banking systems to make sure our fans receive an amazing experience. You will also be responsible for managing and supporting the systems that run our 24/7 digital banking platforms. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• Extensive IT Experience preferably in a financial services environment
• You must have hands on Unix/Redhat Linux experience ideally RHEL including Shell scripting
• You will need JBoss/Tomcat/NGINX/Apache Web hands-on experience and troubleshooting

• You must have Windows Server Management experience

• Ideally, you will have Cloud knowledge (AWS and/or Azure)
• It would be advantageous if you have experience of Temenos T24 or other financial application

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
