Why join Lloyds Banking Group? You’ll be part of a high‑impact engineering community, shaping platforms used by millions and working in modern, agile teams that value craft, automation and security by design. You’ll have scope to innovate, grow and see your work make a real difference for customers and colleagues.
At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re modernising with public cloud—creating platforms that are quick, secure and resilient for customers, and easy, modern and green for developers. Our core focus is Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and we’re redefining our technology, culture and approach to become a truly engineering‑led organisation.
We’re looking for a Public Cloud Assistant Infrastructure Engineer to help deliver one of our flagship platforms on GCP and Azure—enabling the next generation of services across the Group.
What you’ll do
* Support the design, build and maintenance of Kubernetes‑based infrastructure on GCP/Azure.
* Assist in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment and testing workflows.
* Contribute to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform for secure, repeatable provisioning.
* Collaborate with the team to implement security best practices and access controls.
* Participate in troubleshooting and resolving infrastructure issues.
* Engage in team ceremonies and continuous improvement activities.
* Contribute to an on‑call rotation (with sensible guardrails and support).
What you’ll bring
* 1–3 years’ experience in a DevOps, SRE or cloud engineering role.
* Working knowledge of Kubernetes and containerisation technologies.
* Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI or GitHub Actions.
* Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Bash or Go.
* Exposure to Infrastructure as Code tools, preferably Terraform.
* Understanding of cloud computing concepts and GCP/Azure services.
* Eagerness to learn, take initiative and contribute to team success.
It’s great (but not essential) if you also have
* Experience with Istio ingress/egress gateways, mTLS enforcement, sidecar injection and telemetry.
* Familiarity with Anthos Config Management for GitOps‑driven resource provisioning.
* Exposure to Backstage GitOps workflows for platform automation.
* Experience with Harness CI/CD pipelines for secure and scalable deployments.
* Understanding of OPA Gatekeeper policies for tenant isolation and policy enforcement.
* Awareness of Aqua Security for container runtime protection.
* Knowledge of shared services such as CoreDNS, cert‑manager, Dynatrace, Cloudability and Infoblox.
* Experience with GCP or Azure cloud platforms.
* Exposure to service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio) and observability tools (e.g. Prometheus, Dynatrace).
* Basic understanding of networking, security principles and Linux systems.
* Awareness of agile methodologies and DevOps culture.
