Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack)

Business Banking Technology | Sydney or Melbourne

  • You are a deeply hands-on engineer who loves solving complex problems.
  • We are high-performing engineers rebuilding Small Business Banking from the ground up.
  • Together we’re building tomorrow’s business bank today.
Do work that matters

We built Australia’s number one banking app — and then rebuilt it.

Now, we’re transforming the Small Business Banking experience within NetBank. We’re creating a modern, personalised digital platform designed specifically for business customers — distinct from retail and corporate banking.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a critical rebuild at scale, used by millions of customers.

See yourself in our team

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll join a squad delivering the new Small Business Banking experience. You will play a key role in shaping architecture, raising engineering standards and mentoring other engineers.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You will spend the majority of your time designing and building production systems, while influencing technical direction across the crew.

You will:

  • Design and develop scalable microservices and APIs

  • Build modern front-end experiences (Next.js)

  • Define and influence architecture for enterprise-scale applications

  • Improve engineering standards, quality and secure coding practices

  • Guide integration with internal and third-party services

  • Contribute to safe deployments through CI/CD, automation and observability

  • Mentor engineers and uplift technical capability within the squad

  • Drive pragmatic, high-quality engineering decisions

We’re looking for engineers who
  • Are genuinely hands-on and comfortable owning complex systems end-to-end

  • Have strong backend engineering capability (REST APIs, microservices)

  • Prefer full-stack capability (Next.js/React experience highly regarded)

  • Have designed or contributed to enterprise-scale architecture

  • Understand security, reliability and performance at scale

  • Thrive in collaborative environments and challenge ideas constructively

  • Care deeply about code quality, simplicity and long-term maintainability

  • Actively mentor others and raise the engineering bar

Technical capability

We use a broad range of technologies. You don’t need all of them — but strong engineering fundamentals are essential.

Our ecosystem includes:

Backend

  • C# .NET Core, REST APIs, WebAPI

  • Node.js, NestJS, ExpressJS, TypeScript

  • Microservices and API integration

Frontend

  • Next.js (preferred), React, Angular, TypeScript

Cloud & DevOps

  • AWS and Azure

  • Kubernetes, Docker

  • CI/CD (GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Octopus, Azure DevOps)

  • Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation)

  • Logging & observability (Splunk, monitoring tools)

Data

  • MSSQL, Oracle, Snowflake

  • NoSQL / DocumentDB

Experience with event-driven architecture (Kafka) is beneficial.

If you are a strong engineer from a different stack with proven depth, we’re open — fundamentals matter more than exact tools.

If you’re a lead engineer who still loves being deep in the code, shaping architecture and mentoring others — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now.

We support our people with the flexibility to balance where work is done with at least half your time each month connecting in the office.

If you're already part of the Commonwealth Bank Group (including Bankwest, x15ventures), you'll need to apply through Sidekick to submit a valid application. We’re keen to support you with the next step in your career.

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.
