Job Description Summary:

The Chief Security Office (CSO) is a vital part of delivering the Group's vision of putting customers at the heart of everything we do, helping Britain prosper and protecting the Group and customers from security threats. We’re responsible for defining and communicating Lloyds Banking Group's security strategy and providing a range of critical Enterprise Security Services which not only operate key controls that keep the Group safe but also enable the digital transformation agenda of the wider organisation.

Lloyds Banking Group is seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our Cloud Enterprise & Compute Security Lab. This role focuses on designing, building, and operating cloud security frameworks and tooling that protect workloads across public and private cloud platforms. You will lead an engineering team in the delivery of automated, codified security controls and help shape the organisation’s cloud security posture.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, implement, and deploy software-defined infrastructure and cloud security tooling.
• Take ownership of complex problems and deliveries.
• Build automated security controls using CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and Policy as Code.
• Lead small engineering teams to deliver security focused products.
• Own production services across public cloud platforms, ensuring availability, reliability and security.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of cloud security policies and standards.
• Identify gaps in existing practices and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Act as a technical leader and mentor for junior engineers.

We’re transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong hands-on experience with GCP and/or Azure (AWS desirable).
• Kubernetes administration and security, and containerised workloads.
• CI/CD tooling (Terraform, Git, Jenkins, Harness, Backstage).
• Automation and scripting using Python.
• Operating and supporting production cloud services.

And any of these would be great:

• Experience across multiple cloud providers.
• Prior experience in a regulated or large enterprise environment.
• Experience influencing or contributing to security policy.
• Understanding of cloud security standards (e.g. CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS).

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this job advert may reference specific years of experience, we recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
