Summary

JOB TITLE: Infrastructure Specialist

SALARY: £72,702 - £80,780

LOCATION(S): Halifax, Leeds or Manchester

HOURS: Full time

WORKING PATTERN: Hybrid, 40% (or two days) at one of above office locations. Please note that participation in an on-call rota is also a requirement of this role.

What you'll be doing

We're transforming the way we deliver technology, building cloud platforms that are secure, resilient and seamless for our customers, while creating a modern, efficient and sustainable engineering experience for our colleagues.

You'll help drive the simplification and modernisation of our technology estate by assessing, rationalising and retiring legacy infrastructure. Working across complex environments, you'll investigate servers, storage, networks, databases and middleware to identify dependencies, validate ownership, and uncover opportunities for decommissioning and optimisation.

Supporting strategic data centre exit and consolidation programmes, you'll assess infrastructure readiness for migration, modernisation or retirement, helping to manage risks and minimise service impacts. You'll work closely with engineers, architects, service owners and business stakeholders to validate findings, agree remediation plans and ensure activities are delivered in line with governance, resilience and regulatory requirements.

You'll also play an important role in identifying cost-saving opportunities through infrastructure rationalisation, tracking benefits realised and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that support the wider transformation agenda. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and delivering meaningful change across large-scale enterprise environments.

Why join us?

We're on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we're shaping finance for good. We're focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone.

What we're looking for

Extensive experience of multiple technology stacks in an infrastructure-based position

Good understanding of Jira Align and agile methodologies

Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and work across a broad range of technologies in a fast-paced environment

Good stakeholder management

You'll should be able to demonstrate experience in:

Supporting and managing enterprise infrastructure platforms

Agile ways of working

Performance tuning and optimisation

Analytical, problem‑solving and communication skills

Any experience of these would be really useful:

Experience working with regulated or financial services environments

Experience of large-scale data analysis

Strong understanding of data centre architecture, infrastructure components and operational dependencies.

This is a place for you

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we're committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.
