About the Role

This is an opportunity to do meaningful platform engineering work inside one of the UK’s most critical technology environments. RTGS settles on average £800bn per day and is Critical National Infrastructure. The developer experience and CI/CD platform your team builds and operates is what RTGS delivery teams depend on to build, test, secure, and release software safely and consistently. As a Platform Engineer in the Developer Experience team, you will be a hands-on technical contributor, working on the services that underpin how software is built and delivered across RTGS Technology, including build pipelines, release processes, artefact management, and developer tooling. The Developer Experience platform is provided as a shared service, enabling RTGS delivery teams to build, test, and release their software independently, consistently, and to the standard expected in a regulated, high-availability environment. This role follows a “you build it, you own it” model, meaning you are responsible not just for delivering platform capabilities, but for how they perform in production, diagnosing issues, restoring service, and improving the platform based on real operational experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver and operate developer experience and CI/CD platform services, taking responsibility for both building capabilities and supporting them in production.
Embed controls into the delivery pipeline to enable safe, compliant, and traceable releases.
Build, maintain, and improve services that support build and integration pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, release and deployment workflows, artefact management and versioning (including Docker images and other build artefacts), and engineering quality and standards enforcement.
Develop reusable pipeline templates and paved path delivery patterns that enable teams to adopt consistent, high-quality approaches.
Support delivery teams in building, deploying, and maintaining Docker images as part of their CI/CD workflows.
Enable delivery teams to consume platform services independently, improving self-service capability.
Improve the developer experience across RTGS, reducing friction in build, test, and release workflows.
Improve observability of build and release processes, ensuring failures are visible, diagnosable, and actionable.
Maintain and evolve platform tooling over time, including Jenkins, artefact repositories, and related tooling, covering upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management.
Apply an automation-first mindset to reduce manual effort across delivery and operational processes.
Participate in the on-call rota, taking responsibility for diagnosing, resolving, and restoring platform services in production.
Ensure production issues result in lasting improvements to platform design, automation, or operational practices.
Contribute to the security posture of the delivery pipeline, ensuring software moves through controlled, auditable, and secure processes.
Maintain clear documentation for platform services, pipeline patterns, and usage guidance.
Work within change management and governance processes appropriate for a regulated environment.
Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

Requirements

Hands-on experience working with CI/CD or software delivery tooling (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) in a production or production-like environment.
Experience working with automated build, test, or deployment processes.
Experience building, deploying, or maintaining Docker images.
Experience with scripting or infrastructure automation approaches.
Experience supporting production systems, including participation in on-call or incident response.
An automation-first mindset applied to delivery and operational processes.
Understanding of how build and deployment pipelines affect software quality, reliability, and release safety.
Experience with CI/CD pipeline tooling (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub Actions) in a production context, including building, maintaining, and troubleshooting pipelines.
Experience with Git-based version control workflows in a team delivery environment.
Ability to take ownership of delivery platform tasks and deliver to a high standard.
Experience contributing to incident response — including diagnosing pipeline or release issues and supporting service restoration.
Strong understanding of how CI/CD and release processes affect software integrity, release safety, and system reliability.
A security-conscious approach to software delivery and platform engineering.
Experience working within controlled environments and change management processes.
Experience collaborating with engineering teams as a platform provider — enabling adoption rather than acting as a gatekeeper.
Ability to improve delivery processes through automation, standardisation, and sound engineering practice.
Experience with artefact management and dependency control (e.g. Artifactory, Nexus, or equivalent repositories).
Familiarity with secure software supply chain practices.
Experience in financial services, payments, or other regulated environments.
Experience with observability tooling applied to pipelines.
Exposure to container or cloud environments (e.g. Kubernetes, OpenShift, or cloud equivalents such as AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Exposure to messaging or event-driven systems used in build or release notifications (e.g. Kafka, IBM MQ, or cloud equivalents such as AWS SQS or SNS).
Relevant industry certifications.

Equal Opportunity

The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion.
We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.
At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we're working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work.
We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
We believe that it’s by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we’ll continue to make the best decisions for the public.
We welcome applications from individuals who work flexibly, including job shares and part time working patterns.
We've also partnered with external organisations to support us in making adjustments for candidates and employees in the recruitment process where they're needed.
For most roles where work can be carried out at home, we aim for colleagues to spend half of their time in the office, with a minimum of 40% per month. Subject to that minimum requirement, individuals and managers should work together to find what works best for them, their team and stakeholders.
Finally, we're proud to be a member of the Disability Confident Scheme.
The Bank of England welcomes applications from all candidates, but as a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) approved sponsor, we have a responsibility to comply with the Immigration Rules and guidance. As such, our ability to employ individuals who require sponsorship for immigration purposes is limited. The Bank cannot guarantee that you and / or the role you are applying for will be eligible for sponsorship and that any application made to UKVI will be successful. Eligibility will therefore be considered on a case by case basis.
