If you’re looking for a career where you can make a real impression, join HSBC and discover how valued you’ll be.
HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with operations in 64 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.
We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Consultant Specialist.
What are we looking for :
We need your help to continue improving and grow, and that’s what is why we are hiring.
We are not perfect… perfection would stand in the way of progress. We are looking for all sorts of people in our teams, but our focus right now is developers at all levels, from graduates to experts in their field.
In particular, we’re looking for developers who are happy to roll up their sleeves and get stuff done.
If there is something in the way of us getting working software into the hands of our users, we step in and get it moving – whether that means doing some analysis, coding, testing or releasing. Everyone in our team does production support on rotation for a day per month, and everyone also releases code to production.
We value specialism but we don’t have fixed roles – our firm belief is that everyone must contribute to software in production.
We are looking for people who are flexible in their approach and who are happy to try new things and experiment, and be comfortable in throwing experiments away to start again if they don’t work. The number of years experience you have does not really matter to us, rather we look at your potential and how we can help you grow.
We are looking for people that are curious about technology and are happy to play. Some of the people that we are looking for will have played with Puppet, Docker, Clojure, Rust, Haskell, InfluxDB, Go… we don’t use all of these right now but we value new points of view being put across all the time.
You don’t need to have prior experience working for an investment bank. In fact, we’d love to hear from more people working outside banking to see if they can bring a twist to what we do and help us grow our culture.
