CFFC DevOps Engineer
Whippany, NJ

As a Barclays CFFC DevOps Engineer, you’ll incorporate the responsibilities of a full stack developer and a DevOps engineer, accelerating innovation through a solid pipeline of research & development projects, and addressing the objective to identify opportunities to disrupt & detect cyber-enabled fraud. For this role, you’ll design, build, implement, and maintain the automation of processes, web development of bespoke web portals or interfaces, API, and database integrations as well as testing and deploying PoC of off-the-shelf applications.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We've helped millions of individuals and businesses thrive, creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted. An important and growing presence in the USA, we offer careers providing endless opportunity.

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 can request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
