See yourself in the team

CommBank invests in the latest AI technology stack across our ecosystems, giving our engineers modern tooling, platforms, and AI-enabled workflows to build with.

We are seeking an experienced engineer to join the Secure Desktop and Identity Services domain within our End User Experience (EUX) division — a team focused on enabling safe, seamless access for every employee. You will set the technical direction for our platform ecosystem and guide a squad delivering reliable, secure, and cost-effective end-user computing solutions.

As the most senior engineer in the squad, you will balance hands-on engineering with high-level design and mentoring, showcasing what good looks like in the code you write, the designs you produce, and the standards you hold.

This role offers hybrid working flexibility — talk to us about what might work for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic and Technical Leadership: Shape the roadmap and strategy for your squad's products and services, and provide technical leadership and mentorship across the team.
• Engineering Excellence: Demonstrate exemplary code, design, testing, and documentation, lifting the standard of engineering craft across the squad and wider domain.
• Delivery and Implementation: Design and implement platform services and support tools that deliver measurable business value, leading the transition from current to target architectures.
• Automation and Operations: Build CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling that make changes safe, repeatable, and observable, and provide expert-level support aligned to SLAs and incident management processes.
• Innovation and Enablement: Identify emerging technologies — including AI-enabled tooling — aligned to the Group's strategic direction, and improve the Standard Operating Environment (SOE) and related tooling.
• Collaboration and Standards: Work with squads across the domain to define engineering standards and patterns, fostering a culture of learning and problem solving.

Technical Skills

• Full lifecycle platform engineering — design, build, run — across Windows and macOS environments.
• Backend development in .NET, Java, or TypeScript, with scripting in PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
• CI/CD and automation tooling (GitHub, GitHub Actions) and DevSecOps practices.
• Microservices, RESTful APIs, and domain-driven design.
• AWS, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Identity and access management platforms, similar to Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID, SailPoint IIQ, CyberArk, or Ping.

Leadership Competencies

• Raising the Bar: Model best-practice engineering and hold a high standard for quality, simplicity, and maintainability.
• Technical Influence: Set and communicate technical direction, and influence positive outcomes across teams.
• Coaching and Development: Provide effective feedback and mentoring to lift the capability of engineers around you.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: Manage multiple priorities across squads and geographies in a changing environment.
