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.

Our engineering teams are the brains behind Australia’s number one banking app, Netbank, Cardless Cash, CommSec Pocket and Spend Tracker. We go beyond a passion for web and mobile development, creating reliable APIs at a unique scale in Australia. And you could be a part of that journey.

See yourself in our team

The Affluent Growth Crew is a cross-functional team within CBA’s Wealth & Private domain, dedicated to delivering Australia’s leading digital wealth proposition for mass affluent and high net worth (HNW) customers. Our purpose is to empower customers to manage, grow and protect their wealth with confidence, combining innovative technology, deep customer insight and seamless digital experiences.

We plan to deliver AI-powered experiences, portfolio tracking and benchmarking, exclusive pricing and access to partner discounts, all designed to simplify wealth management and help customers achieve their financial goals. By leveraging our diverse team, modern engineering practices and a relentless focus on customer outcomes, we’re redefining what’s possible in banking and investing for Australia’s mass affluent and HNW segments.

We’re interested in hearing from people who can

  • Play a key technical leadership role within the Crew, supporting Engineering Managers and the Crew Tech Lead and gaining exposure to strategic decision-making and opportunities to lead cross-crew technology initiatives

  • Are passionate designing, developing and deploying high quality software solutions

  • Have experience with the full software development lifecycle and delivery using Agile practices

  • Collaborate and communicate effectively with stakeholders to understand business requirements, develop technical solution designs and explain complex technical concepts in plain English

  • Leverage AI tools like Claude Code and Roo/Cline to augment engineering workflows and accelerate delivery

  • Champion technical excellence through active mentoring and coaching, empowering engineers to grow and lead with confidence

  • Have solid hands-on experience in a banking domain will be advantageous

  • Are constantly thinking outside the box and breaking boundaries to solve complex technical problems

  • Demonstrate deep personal curiosity and a commitment to lifelong learning and adaptation —constantly seeking new knowledge, embracing change and inspiring others to do the same.

Technical skills

We’re looking for an engineer with strong Full-Stack foundations. You might not tick every box, every time, but you bring depth in several of these areas and a willingness to learn the rest:

  • Front-end expertise: Hands-on expertise building and evolving complex front-end applications at scale using React / Next.js, with deep knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, component architectures, performance optimisation and accessibility standards. You bring strong architectural judgement to front-end design, state management, and cross-application patterns, and can guide teams in building consistent, maintainable UI foundations. Experience shaping front-end best practices, mentoring engineers, and elevating the quality of large customer-facing experiences is highly regarded.

  • Back-end development: Proven ability to architect, build and operate high-scale, secure services and APIs using .NET (C#/.NET Core), with experience in distributed system design, database modelling (SQL/NoSQL), event-driven patterns and integration at scale. You can define and evolve service boundaries, guide technical direction across squads, and drive improvements in performance, reliability, observability and security. Experience influencing cloud-native (preferably AWS) service patterns, microservices architectures and platform standardisation is highly valued.

  • Full-Stack delivery: Demonstrated capability delivering end-to-end solutions, integrating front-end and back-end components with strong engineering discipline. You bring deep expertise in CI/CD, test automation (unit, integration, E2E), DevSecOps, and infrastructure-as-code, and can establish patterns that uplift delivery quality and velocity. Experience coaching engineers, driving cross-squad design decisions, and embedding SRE and operability principles into full-stack delivery practices is highly regarded

  • Big Data: Demonstrated expertise building and operating high-throughput data pipelines on AWS (e.g. EMR, Glue, Flink/Kinesis), with a strong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals such as partitioning, back-pressure, fault tolerance and performance tuning. You can provide architectural direction, execute and advise on data modelling and governance, improve data engineering practices across squads and integrate scalable, secure data workflows.
