Engineer - E2 in Bournemouth

We are looking for a senior software engineer for our Landlord Mortgages technology team, to design and develop solutions on our Microsoft platform. You will be involved at all stages from proof of concept, design, build & test through to live support.

The Mortgage Works is Nationwide’s Buy to Let mortgage provider. We’re looking to develop “buy to let” mortgage applications and self‑service systems of the future for both our landlords and brokers and need to help ensure they are developed at pace and are hosted on resilient and supported platforms.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best. At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Swindon, London or Bournemouth office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process. If you’re a colleague on long term absence (for example, on parental leave) or a temporary worker, please use your personal email address to submit an application.

The extras you’ll get

• Access to private medical insurance
• A highly competitive pension to help you build a strong foundation for retirement
• Access to an annual performance related bonus
• Training and development to help you progress your career
• A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
• Life assurance to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones in the event of your death
• Wellhub – access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness
• Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year

As a senior engineer you will be designing technical solutions based on requirements, ensuring that the design is clearly documented with the technical tasks broken down and estimated. You will oversee the different phases of engineering‑led deliveries, whilst also being hands‑on, as well as managing task allocation across other team members.

The work may include building new solutions or the enhancement and modernisation of our existing estate, and this will influence the choice of technology. You’ll ensure we are compliant with best practices, and that the guardrails and non‑functional requirements that Nationwide defines to ensure that systems are performant, resilient and secure, are in place.

As a team player, you’ll drive continuous improvements and promote best practice through your actions and behaviours. You’ll also nurture and develop contacts and relationships to enable things to be done faster and more efficiently. You won’t be afraid to have a go, knowing that sometimes to fail fast is to learn fast.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes
