SEE YOURSELF IN OUR TEAM

Are you passionate about building innovative cloud solutions that create meaningful customer experiences? We are looking for a seasoned engineer to join our Cloud Hosting Crew where you will be responsible for leading and driving the technical direction of the DevOps Hosting Platform. This is the flagship cloud hosting platform that our team has designed and built at CBA. In this role, you will support the crew to deliver an ambitious vision against our key objectives:

• Engineering thought leadership and building of cloud patterns and practices
• Efficiency – automating repetitive tasks involved in setting up and managing cloud environments and reducing the time and effort required by engineers to adopt cloud at scale
• Scalability – design a highly scalable cloud platform with leading cloud native capabilities, enabling teams to quickly adapt to changing demands and workloads
• Security – embedding a robust security first mindset to protect applications and data, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. Enable always available channels, powered by simpler and more resilient cloud technology.

As a Chief Engineer, you will set the bar high on engineering standards, practices and quality and will continue to raise the bar for the engineers around you. You will provide core technology and domain expertise to inform technical strategy and be responsible for the design of cloud solutions for complex challenges adopted by multiple business units. You’ll have a strong risk mindset and take security from the first line of code approach. With a strong security-first mindset, you’ll ensure that every line of code is built for resilience. You’ll also lead by example, mentoring and inspiring others to develop their engineering skills and drive the technical roadmap for our cloud hosting platform.
