About this role
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Must have skills: Strong in either Java, Kotlin or Node JS
- Build and maintain golden-path templates and reusable patterns that accelerate onboarding and reduce variation across teams.
- Deliver worked examples from real HSBC projects (not toy apps) that teams can adopt directly and that double as adoption “media”.
- Improve self-service onboarding so we can scale across HSBC from day one (we can’t and won’t “white glove” every team).
- Run and support feedback loops (office hours, champions networks, Teams/email channels) and turn developer pain points into shipped improvements — either by building the fix or driving it to the right owning team and tracking it to resolution (“not our team” isn’t a resolution).
- Write and improve platform documentation. Documentation is part of our launch gate, and our Definition of Done expects features to ship with it.
Partner with product, engineering, architecture and risk/control colleagues to ensure guidance is accurate, compliant and practical.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
- Strong hands-on engineering capability with evidence you can build and deliver : templates, automation, reference implementations, onboarding assets and/or developer tooling.
- A practical understanding of developer experience: how to make the “right” path the easiest path through standardisation and automation .
- Confidence writing clear technical content (docs, how‑tos, examples) that scales to large audiences.
- Solid production mindset (security, resilience, observability, supportability) so examples and guidance are credible in a regulated environment.
Good stakeholder and collaboration skills — you’ll work across multiple platform pillars and teams to get outcomes, not just opinions.
