Job description

Are you ready to join the winning team at The Lottery Corporation?

We power Australia's biggest lottery games - and we're one of the world's top-performing lottery businesses.

As the home of The Lott and Keno, we're building on decades of excitement and life-changing wins, bringing our games to every state and territory except WA.

For more than a century, we've been playing our role in creating positive impacts by delivering winning moments every day to our people, our customers, retailers, partners and our community.

But we're not standing still. We're evolving into an entertainment company - more customer-obsessed, more agile and driven by real outcomes.

Because at our core, it's simple: we create winning moments - and we're building the next chapter as the team behind Where Australia Comes to Play.

Join us!

About Frontier

Frontier is a new team within Digital, created to explore a fundamentally different approach to product development.

We're building new greenfield digital experiences across web, iOS and Android while developing an AI-powered delivery model that changes how software is designed, built and operated. Rather than using AI as a coding assistant, we're rethinking the entire development lifecycle, combining human judgement with agentic systems to deliver high-quality customer experiences faster and more effectively.

Our mission is to build the next generation of digital experiences while proving a new model for software delivery, where engineers spend less time on repetitive implementation and more time on architecture, design decisions, quality and engineering judgement.

We're looking for engineers who are excited by both modern software engineering and the future of AI-powered product development.

The Role

Own the design system and web platform powering tomorrow's digital experiences. You'll lead web architecture and design system engineering for Frontier. You'll build the foundations that allow designers, engineers and AI agents to collaborate effectively while delivering consistent experiences at scale.

What you'll do

• Lead web architecture and frontend engineering practices
• Own the design system and shared component library
• Build React and TypeScript-based web foundations
• Champion accessibility and performance by default
• Integrate quality and verification into development workflows
• Help designers contribute more directly to product delivery
• Build AI-enabled engineering capabilities
• Shape the future of frontend development

What you'll bring

• Deep React and TypeScript expertise, with experience shaping frontend architecture
• Experience building and evolving design systems and shared component libraries
• Strong understanding of accessibility, performance and modern web delivery practices
• Experience working closely with Product and Design teams
• Curiosity about how AI can transform software engineering and developer experience
• Comfortable working in ambiguity, learning quickly and helping shape a brand-new way of building software

What you'll get

Not only will you receive an awesome candidate experience from our caring Talent team, but you'll get a genuine feel for who we are and what it's like to be part of our team.

The benefits of working with The Lottery Corporation are pretty good. Just to name a few:

• Balance work and life with our 'flex for great outcomes' approach - hybrid working, plus a range of generous leave options.
• Reward and recognition programs at all levels. Your hard work won't go unnoticed.
• Ignite your potential with our dedicated learning and development platform to support your bright future.
• We empower careers to grow from within. 50% of all roles in 2025 were filled by our own people, proving that your next opportunity is already here!
• A true sense of belonging. We're committed to Inclusion & Diversity with a range of initiatives such as our Gender Affirmation Support, employee inclusion networks and diversity memberships and celebrations.
• Make positive impacts with opportunities to volunteer with our community partners. We'll also dollar match fundraising efforts of our employees lending their support to registered charities.

We're committed to providing a safe, respectful and supportive work environment. We encourage you to let us know if we can make any accommodations, so the process can be more user friendly for you.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of the lands on which our offices, retail outlets and venues operate. We acknowledge the inextricable link First Peoples of Australia have with the land past and present.

Your online safety is important to us. We'll never request payment or credit card details from you to apply for a position. If you're uncertain whether a job ad is legitimate, verify via our website before providing any details.
