Are you an experienced Software Engineer with skills in C# and .Net? Can you nurture colleagues to help them grow? Do you put the customer at the heart of everything you do? If yes, then we may have the role for you! 

As the Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high performing scalable technology software solutions in line with required targets and FCA Requirements through the effective leadership and delivery of assigned projects.

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

So what would you be doing?...

• Aligning with business priorities and that all software development is delivered on schedule, within budget and with highly effective code across our portfolio
• Collaborating with a range of stakeholders and colleagues throughout the project development lifecycle
• Troubleshooting and solve complex software issues (by self and within team) to deliver effective technology solutions 
• Coaching and mentoring of more junior members of the project team 
• Assisting with technical feasibility studies for newly-created product ideas/software projects and where appropriate propose implementation solutions 
• Following best-in-class agile methodology (2week sprints), throughout the software development Lifecycle to deliver consistent market leading engineering solutions 
• Assisting with the preparation and delivery of technical proposals and presentations that have clear and defensible rationale 
• Writing logical and pragmatic code ensuring it is fit for purpose, effective, scaleable and future proofed
• Regularly updating accurate records of engineering communications and data in relevant tools and systems 
• Operating in a manner compliant with all applicable regulations, ensure relevant processes are followed and any breaches/non-compliance are highlighted 
• Identifying and assessing current and future risk across key areas of projects assigned from an engineering perspective and flag/escalate issues to SLT 

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
• Experience working in a consumer orientated environment experience within a regulated consumer financial services environment would be advantageous 
• You must have knowledge of C#, ASP.Net experience of highly transactions / available web based e-commerce systems
• You will need good knowledge of web technologies (Ajax, Linq etc)
• Ideally, you will have knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, HTML
• Experience influencing key stakeholders (internally and externally) to consistently deliver against key projects

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!
