Join us as an Engineering Lead, to guide a team of 15 engineers in delivering and evolving a large-scale internal platform supporting over 1,000 users across Barclays UK. This role blends technical depth with strategic direction supporting a platform that underpins enterprise-grade container orchestration and shared tooling. You’ll help drive engineering productivity at scale, enabling developers, testers, release managers, RTB L2 engineers, and SREs. It’s a role for someone who brings clarity, alignment, and long-term focus to platform evolution, reliability, and security — and who is passionate about enabling teams, driving innovation, and building resilient systems.

To be successful as an Engineering Lead, you should have experience with and preferred skills in:

  • Leading and mentoring engineering teams in DevOps or platform engineering environments.
  • Designing and optimising CI/CD pipelines for containerised workloads at scale.
  • Managing enterprise Kubernetes environments (e.g., Openshift, AWS EKS, Azure AKS, GCP GKE) with a focus on multi-tenant orchestration and high availability.

Some other highly valued skills may include:

  • Building shared developer tools and platforms that improve productivity across multiple teams.
  • Implementing practices that enhance system reliability, such as monitoring and alerting.
  • Strategic thinking to align platform evolution with long-term engineering goals.

You may be assessed on the key critical skills relevant for success in this role, such as risk awareness and governance, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking, and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.

This role will be based in Knutsford.
