API TESTER

As a Barclays API Tester, you will join us to coordinate with all teams across all our Digital USCB (United States Consumer Bank) Flows. You will use your skills to validate the functionality from the customer view from account origination, fulfilment and servicing to regulatory and compliance aspects, while being responsible for supporting all the release activities and automation, as well as building and designing new functions like Chaos engineering, and testing data as a service to improve resilience, scalability and end user customer experience.

WORKING FLEXIBLY

We’re committed to providing a supportive and inclusive culture and environment for you to work in. This environment recognizes and supports ways to balance your personal needs, alongside the professional needs of our business. Providing the opportunity for all our employees, globally to work flexibly empowers each of us to work in a way that suits our lives as well as enabling us to better service our customers’ and clients’ needs. Whether you have family commitments or you’re a carer, or whether you need study time or wish to pursue personal interests, our approach to working flexibly is designed to help you balance your life.

We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances 

Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
