Staff Software Engineer – Tanium Engineering

• You are passionate, driven, flexible and collaborative
• We are a team of big thinkers who are engineering the future of banking
• Together we will build tomorrow’s bank today, using world-leading technology and innovation
  
  

As a Staff Software Engineer in our Tanium Engineering squad, you’ll be a hands-on technical leader, solving complex engineering problems and helping shape the technical direction of the squad.

The squad works across Tanium and a broader full-stack engineering ecosystem. We’re looking for strong engineering fundamentals, technical leadership and the ability to work across complex technology environments. You don’t need experience across every technology we use — exposure to Tanium, similar enterprise platforms or comparable technologies will be valuable.

You’ll

• Provide technical leadership and direction, solving complex and ambiguous engineering problems with impact across the squad and broader technology ecosystem.
• Shape technical strategy and architecture, influencing engineering and product roadmaps while making pragmatic decisions that balance delivery, resilience, security and long-term sustainability.
• Remain hands-on in the design and delivery of engineering solutions, particularly for complex or high-impact changes.
• Champion engineering excellence by improving practices, reducing technical debt and toil, and identifying opportunities to introduce better technologies, frameworks and automation.
• Build a strong engineering culture through mentoring, technical guidance and creating an environment of learning, experimentation, ownership and accountability.
• Collaborate across engineering, product and technology teams to deliver secure, resilient and reliable outcomes for the Group.

We’re interested in hearing from people who

Is a Staff software engineer and technical leader who combines deep engineering capability with strong architectural judgement. You’re comfortable leading through influence and technical expertise, while remaining close to engineering and delivery.

We’d be interested in experience across several of the following:

• Strong software engineering experience with technologies such as Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/TypeScript, or comparable modern engineering stacks.
• Experience with Tanium or similar enterprise endpoint management, security, infrastructure or technology platforms would be valuable, but is not essential.
• Strong experience designing and evolving APIs, services, microservices and distributed systems, including REST, integration patterns and asynchronous/event-driven architectures.
• Cloud-native engineering experience with AWS or comparable cloud platforms, with exposure to Kubernetes, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code.
• Strong understanding of modern engineering practices including CI/CD, DevSecOps, automated testing, observability, resilience and production lifecycle ownership.
• Experience designing, building and operating secure, resilient and business-critical systems within complex enterprise environments.
• Strong system-design and architectural skills, including the ability to assess technical trade-offs, manage risk and make high-impact changes safely.
• Experience identifying and addressing technical debt, engineering toil and opportunities for automation, improving engineering productivity and maintainability.
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex and ambiguous technical problems, develop well-reasoned solutions and influence technical decisions beyond your immediate area.
• Experience providing technical leadership, mentoring engineers including senior engineers, and raising engineering standards across teams and ability to influence technical and product roadmaps, working effectively with engineers, product teams and broader technology stakeholders.
