Workday Application Support Engineer

Workday Application Support Engineer
Glasgow

As a Barclays Workday Application Support Engineer, you will use a hybrid of development and skill to work across disciplines, applying software engineering principles, to eliminate repeated manual effort (Toil) and create automated, scalable and reliable services.  If you enjoy working in a high-stakes environment, assisting clients globally and have a burning desire to make everything you touch better, then we want to give you an opportunity to help build a world class Production Support function within Barclays

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
