We’re Unloan – a forward-thinking business looking to revolutionise the lending industry. We’re a modern, agile, standalone brand backed by the Commonwealth Bank and we’re building the future of digital home lending.
As the Staff Software Engineer working for Unloan at CBA, you will help drive business growth by driving innovation at the intersection of technology, security, and intelligent automation. You will help lead the strategic design and architecture of Unloan’s platform, delivering complex, high-performance services and products that redefine digital lending.
Operating in a full-stack, full-cycle engineering environment, you will build complex and highly scalable designs working with TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, and GraphQL API, cloud native ensuring secure, scalable, and reliable solutions from inception to production.
Reporting directly to the Crew Tech Lead of Unloans Origination Crew you will drive Agentic AI and automation to streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and accelerate delivery. Through technical leadership and a deep systems mindset, they help shape a smarter, safer, and more autonomous future for digital finance.
See yourself in our team:
At Unloan Originations, you’ll be part of a focused, high-performing crew driving the three core chapters of our platform, Assessment,, Settlement and Lender Experience. This is the engine room of Unloan, where real-time decisioning, intelligent workflows, and seamless settlement experiences come together to power a fully digital home loan journey. Every day, your work directly shapes how quickly customers receive answers, how smoothly applications move through the system, and how confidently we deliver on our promise of simplicity and transparency.
You’ll work within a tight-knit team of engineers, product thinkers, and designers who own their domains end to end. The crew is currently focused on advancing AI-driven engineering across originations, embedding smarter assessment models, automating complex approval pathways, and reducing friction through intelligent document processing and decision support. This isn’t experimentation for its own sake; it’s purposeful innovation that improves speed, accuracy, and fairness at scale. Your impact will be visible daily in the features shipped, the performance improvements realised, and the customer outcomes enhanced. We’re looking for someone with a strong technical and strategic mindset, someone who can zoom out to define the long-term architecture while diving deep to solve complex engineering challenges.
You anticipate change, challenge the status quo, and use emerging AI capabilities to unlock better ways of working. In a platform that is cloud-native, secure by design, and built for continuous evolution, you’ll help drive the next wave of transformation, ensuring Unloan remains at the forefront of modern, intelligent home lending.
