Golang Job: Senior Software Engineer

About The Department

Developer Engineering is a new function within ICG Technology. Our mission is to make it easy and enjoyable for software engineering teams to go from a business idea to delivering an innovative product solution. The main goals are to improve and upgrade our tools, streamline our processes, automate and strengthen our controls, and help development teams adopt modern working methods.

This new initiative represents a critical investment in our future development capability. We are building an expert team to transform the working environment of the 18,000 people who make up the ICG development community and help them dramatically change their approach to developing software across the many different technologies we support. The Developer Engineering group has a challenging remit, but with the scale and variety comes a unique opportunity to be agents of cultural and technical change who significantly impact the bank.

About The Team

Within the ICG Developer Engineering department, the Codified Controls group is a dedicated expert team focused on driving the everything-as-code agenda and delivering tangible reductions in process friction, errors, and manual effort to comply with and administer our controls.

The Codified Controls group will build central solutions and platforms, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. The group will have the mandate and a unique opportunity as part of a greenfield programme to impact critical technical decisions across the company and change how the organisation is applying controls and writing policies globally.

The Codified Controls is a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, business analysts, and product managers that will directly engineer new codified controls and the underlying capabilities required to support them and drive other groups to provide the automated controls.

They are also cultural and behavioural leaders who are champions of great teamwork and highly opinionated on human-centric approaches to automating and codifying our controls and procedures.

The team will work extremely closely with the Risk and Controls Transformation team to ensure their work is mutually supportive. There is a natural alignment of automation enabling new ways of working, which drives a need to change our controls to be amenable to codification, moving towards new thinking about how we could work. This approach comes with a challenging but exciting opportunity to help change how a significant number of Citi employees work and reduce tedious, repetitive toil – freeing them up to do critical, creative thinking.

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer responsible for building Codified Controls systems that run at scale and develop core building blocks that other engineering teams within their domains will integrate. There will be additional responsibilities to act as a Scrum Master for a highly technical team.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for deploying, troubleshooting, and scaling any services they build and work with partner teams to federate their work through inner-source projects.

As a Scrum Master you will be responsible for enabling the engineering team to deliver on their scrum commitments, support the unblocking of any issues and work with stakeholders and external dependencies to ensure success of each bucket of work.

The split of duties will be adjusted depending on the demands and abilities of the candidate.
