FRONT OFFICE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPER

As Barclays’ Front Office Technology Developer, you will be sought to join the Rates Options Technology team based in Whippany to build out the strategic risk generation platform developed and used here at Barclays, Beowulf. You will join this agile team primarily as a full stack developer, interfacing with various groups across Front Office, Quantitative Analytics and Technology to analyse and understand complex business requirements, and designing and implementing various tools/projects from inception to production.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We've helped millions of individuals and businesses thrive, creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted. An important and growing presence in the USA, we offer careers providing endless opportunity.

WORKING FLEXIBLY

We’re committed to providing a supportive and inclusive culture and environment for you to work in. This environment recognizes and supports ways to balance your personal needs, alongside the professional needs of our business. Providing the opportunity for all our employees, globally to work flexibly empowers each of us to work in a way that suits our lives as well as enabling us to better service our customers’ and clients’ needs. Whether you have family commitments or you’re a career, or whether you need study time or wish to pursue personal interests, our approach to working flexibly is designed to help you balance your life.

We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances 

Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
