PURPOSE OF JOB

The Manager, Software Engineering is part of the team that enables EQ Bank’s Challenger Bank aspiration: An agile banking platform to put the power in customers’ hands.

You are intricately aware of the EQ Bank fraud and AML strategies. You lead your team to evolve the current architecture, APIs and capabilities to make it simpler and faster to reduce fraud.
You set and manage towards disciplined agile practices, predictable delivery, and operational excellence. You grow your team and encourage growth, and high performance
