This blue-sky project looks at ways we can greatly improve the SDLC process at Citi, taking ideas like grading engineering teams and rewarding those who follow best practices, perhaps moving them from manual approval process to an automatic one. The use of Artificial Intelligence is planned to further automate and remove manual human led processes that add toil to the SDLC process Release on Demand (RoD)is our strategic release management platform that makes it trivial to generate production run books & ServiceNow Changes with the click of a button. Built internally approximately three years ago the platform has quickly become our strategic release generation and deployment tool used across all lines of business. Last year it generated 60k releases and automated the deployment of approx. 65% of them. RoD enables cultural change within development teams enabling them to move quickly but whilst maintaining quality gates to ensure the correct SDLC and procedural requirements of the firm are upheld, whilst driving industry best practices (DORA) Why you'll love working here: You get to work in the engineering focused part of the bank, the Chief Technology Office, building tools for other engineers You’ll work and lead small, agile team, in an organisation led by technologists and use the latest AI tooling to complete your work.
