We also post fresh roles daily on our WhatsApp jobs channel, so you can catch similar ones early.
Role Overview
The page heading says Software Engineer, while the description inside is written for a Java/Python AWS Engineer. Read it as one role: a developer who builds applications and also owns the cloud setup they run on. The location is Bengaluru, the contract is permanent, and the working pattern is hybrid, with anchor days set by the business area. The posting lists a reference code of JR-0000088850.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain data pipelines, data warehouses and data lakes.
- Design and implement large scale applications using Java, Spring Boot, React.js and microservices, with CI/CD around them.
- Write unit tests for the code you ship.
- Work with stakeholders to turn requirements into working software.
- Collaborate with data scientists who build machine learning models.
Skills required for the Barclays Software Engineer role
- Java and Python.
- AWS services: EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, KMS, ELB, SNS, SQS and IAM.
- Infrastructure as code with CloudFormation or Terraform.
- CI tools such as Jenkins, Bitbucket or GitLab CI.
- Linux, networking basics and scripting in Bash, PowerShell, Python or Java.
- Awareness of security compliance and cloud architecture.
Salary and benefits
The posting does not list a salary. It mentions a competitive holiday allowance, life assurance, private medical care and a pension contribution.
What the role involves
Expect a split week. Some of it is ordinary application work: writing Spring Boot services, wiring them to queues like SQS and SNS, and getting them through a pipeline. The rest is cloud housekeeping, such as IAM permissions, encryption keys in KMS, and templates that rebuild an environment on demand. The data pipeline and data lake lines suggest a good share of the work touches data movement, not only web APIs.
Who it suits
This fits an engineer who is comfortable on both sides of the fence: writing application code and deploying it. The posting also says it expects Assistant Vice President level behaviour, including leading a team and coaching others. Read that as a sign it targets experienced engineers, not fresh graduates. The posting does not give a years of experience figure, so ask the recruiter if you are unsure where you fall.
How to stand out
- Lead with one project that shows Java or Python code deployed on AWS, with the services named.
- Show infrastructure as code: a small Terraform or CloudFormation repo is more convincing than a bullet point.
- Be ready to talk about a pipeline you built and what broke in it. Interviews for roles like this commonly dig into debugging and design trade-offs (this is an expectation, not something the posting states).
- If you have led or mentored anyone, say so plainly, given the leadership wording in the posting.
Check before you apply
- Years of experience are not stated, only the level of expectations.
- Salary is not listed.
- Hybrid anchor days are decided by the business area, so confirm how many days you would be in the office.
- The title and the description do not match exactly, so check which team you would join.
