The summary above was generated by AI
Join Vanguard’s Client Experience teams as an early to mid-level engineer, where you’ll help shape how clients interact with our technology—including platforms like Adviser+, which empowers financial advisers to manage their business directly with Vanguard.
We’re a collaborative group focused on building intuitive, impactful digital experiences. You’ll work in Agile teams, contribute to full-stack development, and grow your skills in technologies like Java, Angular, Node.js, Spring, AWS, and more.
This is a great opportunity to launch your engineering career in a supportive, forward-thinking environment that values innovation, learning, and teamwork.

What you will do 

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions. 

  • Work in an Agile software development methodology which involves regular communication with your team and the teams around you. 

  • Follow architectural and coding standards to maintain a high standard of technical design, code quality and documentation. 

  • Translate technical specifications into clean, maintainable code for new features, enhancements and integration with third-party products and APIs. 

  • Participate in design and code reviews, unit and integration testing and defect resolution throughout the software development lifecycle. 

  • Implement automated test strategies to ensure product quality. 

  • Manage code deployment across development, test and production environments.  

  • Proactively communicate technical issues with your team and technical lead. 

  • Trouble shoot production incidents with the support team. 

  • Secure coding practices using OWASP. 

 

Technologies you will use (but do not need to have done them all!) 

  • Full stack development – work with Java, Angular, Node.js, Spring, APIs, SQL and Non-SQL DBs, AWS and some react native. 

  • AWS – familiarity with serverless stack 

  • DevOps practices and continuous delivery using GIT and GitHub actions for CI/CD 

  • Test automation and test-driven development practices and frameworks – work with Cypress, Playwright and Jest. 

 

Qualifications 

  • Minimum of 3 years related work experience with at least one year of development experience. More experience expected for those applying for a senior role to demonstrate a breadth of experience that you can apply to this role. 

  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience. 

How We Work

Vanguard has implemented a hybrid working model for the majority of our crew members, designed to capture the benefits of enhanced flexibility while enabling in-person learning, collaboration, and connection. We believe our mission-driven and highly collaborative culture is a critical enabler to support long-term client outcomes and enrich the employee experience.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
