Full Stack Engineer (Back End & Azure Integration Focus)

Fraud & Financial Crime Technology Platform (FFCP)

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer with a strong back-end and Azure focus to join our Fraud and Financial Crime Technology Platform (FFCP) team. This platform underpins the bank’s ability to detect, prevent and investigate fraud and financial crime, protecting both clients and the organisation at scale.

About the Team

The FFCP team builds and operates the technology that powers:

• Client screening against global watchlists
  

• Transaction monitoring for suspicious behaviour
  

• Fraud detection and investigation workflows
  

We’re in the midst of a major modernisation journey, replacing legacy systems with cloud-native, Azure-first solutions and best-in-class vendor platforms. Data quality, integrations and API-driven architectures sit at the heart of this transformation.
