Do work that matters:

We’re building tomorrow’s bank today, which means we need creative and diverse engineers to help us redefine what customers expect from a bank. Envisioning new technologies that are still waiting to be invented and reimagining products that support our customers and help build Australia’s future economy.

See yourself in our team:

You will join our Automation and Optimization Fraud and Scam Engineering Chapter, where you will design and develop solutions to protect customers from fraud and scams. Your work supports creating advanced technologies that automate scam detection and digital intrusion alerts.

We’re interested in hearing from people who:

  • Design, build, and maintain production-grade software systems in modern languages.
  • Implement automation frameworks for UI, API, performance, integration, and security testing.

  • Drive the quality strategy within their squad ensuring alignment with engineering and product goals.
  • Mentor grads & engineers, fostering a culture of engineering excellence and accountability.
  • Establish engineering dashboards that provide visibility into delivery quality and production health. 
  • Continuously learn and grow across coding, testing, deployment, and operations.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of features: from design → code → testing → deployment → monitoring.

We use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. We don’t expect you to know them all but experience or exposure with some of these will set you up for success in this team:

  • Good programming skills in one or more languages e.g.  Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Python.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., TeamCity, GitHub, Jenkins)
  • Good understanding of API testing, microservices, and cloud-native architectures (preferably AWS).
  • Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Splunk, Observe, CloudWatch)
  • Deep knowledge of test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Devtest, Appium, Sahi).
  • Solid grasp of DevSecOps, SDLC best practices, and release governance.
  • Use of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Roo code) to accelerate everyday development/testing tasks.
