Senior Technical Lead - Credit
Whippany, NJ

As a Barclays Senior Technical Lead - Credit, this is an exciting opportunity where you will be accountable for delivery of business initiatives for revenue growth and risk management of Credit Business. Whilst taking on the responsibility for unit testing and continuous integration of the overall various Barclays Java systems, and ensuring the systems meet the Barclays compliance as we define the future.

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 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.
