Job description

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you've likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We're now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.

For us, these are exciting times. There's a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we've been doing it for over 170 years.

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

How you'll make an impact

As a Senior Digital Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in building and evolving AMP's next-generation digital platform, spanning modern web applications, APIs and enterprise integrations. This is an opportunity to work across the full stack, designing, developing and operating scalable services and customer-facing applications that support AMP Super's digital experience. You'll help drive the transition toward real-time, API-first and event-driven architectures, contributing to a platform that is more responsive, resilient and aligned to modern customer expectations.

You'll also influence how engineering is evolving within the team by embedding AI-enabled development practices, improving delivery speed and quality, and contributing to continuous improvement across architecture, observability and release practices. Working in a fast-paced agile environment, you'll collaborate closely with product, UX, QA, architects and platform teams, helping shape solutions in an environment where priorities evolve and innovation is encouraged.

What you'll bring to the role

You’re bring strong full-stack engineering experience, with deep expertise across modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems (including Angular) and backend API development, alongside hands‑on experience building scalable, cloud‑native applications, ideally within AWS environments. You'll have a solid grounding in microservices or API‑first architectures, and a strong understanding of security, performance, scalability and engineering best practices in enterprise environments.

Beyond technical capability, you'll bring adaptability, curiosity and a strong ownership mindset. We're looking for someone comfortable working in ambiguity, navigating evolving architecture and delivering in highly agile, iterative environments. Experience using AI development tools such as Copilot, combined with a desire to experiment with emerging technologies and uplift team capability, will be highly valued. Strong collaboration, mentoring and problem‑solving skills, along with a customer‑first approach to building digital experiences, will be key to success in this role.

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you'll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you'll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you'll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you're someone that can hold their own, you'll find AMP quite liberating.

Why we think you'll love working at AMP

Doing what we've always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You'll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don't work, we move on - better for it.

We know there's no one way of doing things. So, you won't have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We're inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you'd expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn't. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you'll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.

Whether it's through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.

We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity

We're dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers.

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit.

We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website.

Ready to create your tomorrow?

If you're someone who sees opportunity where others see challenge, and, through a series of career-defining moments, create your own tomorrow.

We review applications when we get them, and if we discover the ideal candidate, we may close the role earlier than the advertised close date.
