Job Summary

Work as part of the Commercial Lending Technology team to provide overnight operational and technical support across the full Commercial Lending technology estate.

The role is responsible for monitoring overnight batch processing, applications and supporting services; identifying, investigating and resolving technical issues; coordinating resolution with relevant internal teams and technology partners where required; and ensuring that incidents are effectively managed and communicated.

The Support Engineer will also perform and coordinate planned maintenance activities, including server patching and security-certificate renewals, and will support the administration, configuration, maintenance and optimisation of Commercial Lending technology services. The role is expected to analyse system behaviour, identify operational risks and recommend improvements that enhance platform stability, resilience and performance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
