Your career opportunity
We have a unique opportunity for you to join our team in Cloud Services as a Lead Platform Engineer. Your role is to build a next-generation internal developer platform for HSBC - but not just any platform. This is a GitOps-first, Kubernetes-native, controller-driven ecosystem that puts developer experience, scalability, and enterprise-grade governance at the core.
As our Lead Platform Engineer, you’ll take the helm of our Kubernetes architecture, shaping and driving the platform that empowers teams across the bank to ship, scale, and operate software with unprecedented autonomy and compliance. This is your chance to lead the charge on a true Platform-as-Product initiative, with meaningful impact and technical freedom.
