About this opportunity

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're building the bank of the future-secure, resilient, and designed for scale. Security must be embedded from the outset, not applied retrospectively.

Cyber Security Assured Design sits at the heart of this ambition. We enable secure-by-design principles across platforms and applications, ensuring that modern architectures-particularly cloud-native and microservices-based solutions-are built to meet both security and business outcomes from day one.

Working closely with engineering, architecture, and platform teams, you'll help shape secure design patterns, standards, and reusable components across our GCP ecosystem. This is an opportunity to influence at scale, embedding security into the development lifecycle and accelerating delivery through automation and simplification.

What you'll be doing:

Designing, developing, and evolving secure design patterns for cloud-native and microservices architectures

Building and maintaining reusable security components, frameworks, and reference implementations

Developing Python-based services, tooling, or automation to enable secure-by-design adoption

Supporting engineering teams in embedding security controls within CI/CD pipelines

Working with GCP services to design scalable, resilient, and secure architectures

Translating security requirements into practical, developer-friendly implementations

Contributing to and maintaining secure design documentation, standards, and guidance

Collaborating with architects and product teams to ensure security is embedded early in design decisions

Continuously improving developer experience and self-service security capabilities

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:

• Hands on technical experience and ability to write, trouble shoot and fix code
• A level of understanding across Cyber Security domains and Cloud Security (GCP, Azure)
• Outcome focussed, able to deliver the end goal whilst ensuring the detail meets the outcomes needs
• Deliver a secure-by-design and secure throughout the lifecycle across LBG
• Passionate about automating repetitive tasks
• Clear understanding of software containerisation and respective technologies

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.
