We are looking for a design focussed software engineer for our TMW (The Mortgage Works) technology team, to help design, refine and code solutions against our Oracle platform. Working closely with business stakeholders, we’re looking for someone who can take a lead on translating business requirements into technical designs, and breakdown into technical user stories.

The Mortgage Works is Nationwide’s Buy to Let mortgage provider. We’re looking to develop “buy to let” mortgage applications and self-service systems of the future for both our landlords and brokers and need to help ensure they are developed at pace and are hosted on resilient and supported platforms.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Bournemouth, Swindon or London office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here

What you’ll be doing

Harnessing your technology experience, you’ll take on a leading role helping the team design, build and support secure and robust systems. You will work with a combination of newer & legacy technologies to deliver real change. You’ll be responsible for defining and refining the work that your team completes.

You’ll ensure our technology solutions are compliant with best practice, guardrails and non-functional requirements that Nationwide defines, to ensure that systems are performant, resilient and secure.

You will also be working closely with stakeholders to ensure that solutions are defined to meet both business and technical needs.

About you

We are looking for experience in technical design and expertise including:

• Oracle platforms and applications, and creation of database objects, packages and scripts using PL-SQL.
• Appropriate technology design approaches, such as UML and Entity Relationship Modelling.
• Ensuring appropriate controls and governance are followed when designing, building and maintaining our software platforms, to ensure the solutions are resilient, performant and secure.
• Producing technical designs, software development and packaging of software.
• Curating clear and high-quality written documentation, ensuring a high level of attention to detail.
• Ability to work across multiple simultaneous deliveries, whilst effectively managing stakeholder expectations.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
