Why HSBC
HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world. Guided by our purpose of opening up a world of opportunity, our ambition is to become the world’s most trusted bank globally, putting customers at the heart of everything we do.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Consultant Specialist, you’ll take end-to-end technical ownership of banking solutions built on AWS, with a strong focus on serverless engineering using AWS Lambda. You’ll shape design decisions across Java and Python services, workflow automation and data platforms including MongoDB and Amazon Redshift. This role sits in a regulated environment where security-by-design, operational resilience and strong governance are core to how we deliver.
You’ll set engineering standards that improve reliability and delivery outcomes while staying hands-on for complex builds and production issues when needed. You’ll work closely with product, architecture, cyber security, risk/compliance and operations to turn business outcomes into clear technical plans. Success looks like secure, resilient services released with strong operational readiness, improved delivery throughput and fewer recurring incidents.
In this role, you will
- Own technical delivery for one or more banking capabilities from design through build, test, release and production support
- Shape solution designs across AWS Lambda, event-driven patterns, Java and Python services, workflow automation and MongoDB and Redshift data stores
- Build and refine engineering guardrails including patterns, documentation and technical coaching that raise consistency and quality
- Strengthen backlog refinement by defining non-functionals, enablers, technical debt, resilience needs and operational tasks
- Embed security-by-design across IAM least privilege, secrets handling, encryption, secure APIs, logging and audit trails and vulnerability remediation
- Establish operational resilience through SLAs and SLOs, monitoring and alerting, DR considerations and robust failure-handling patterns
- Govern change and release practices to meet banking control expectations including approvals, evidence and traceability
- Run incident response and root-cause analysis and ensure preventative actions are implemented and measurable
What we're looking for
Bring deep, hands-on experience delivering production-grade solutions on AWS with strong emphasis on AWS Lambda and serverless patterns
Demonstrate strong engineering capability in Java including service and API development, testing and performance tuning
Demonstrate strong engineering capability in Python for service development, automation and data processing or scripting
Apply proven experience designing workflow automation and business process orchestration using Appian or an equivalent platform
Show strong MongoDB experience including data modelling, indexing, query optimisation and operational considerations
Show strong Amazon Redshift experience including dimensional or analytic data modelling, SQL performance tuning, ingestion patterns and access controls
Apply established CI/CD and automated testing practices with controlled releases suited to regulated environments
Evidence strong production readiness practices including observability, runbooks, support handover and evidence-based delivery under governance
Secure serverless delivery at HSBC
This role gives you the scope to set technical direction for modern banking services built on AWS and to see those services safely into production. You’ll partner across engineering, product, architecture and control teams to make delivery predictable, secure and well-governed. You’ll help embed standards that improve throughput and quality while keeping a clear focus on operational resilience. If you want your work to translate directly into safer, more reliable banking outcomes, we’d welcome your application.
You’ll achieve more when you join HSBC.
