Staff Software Engineer – Native Mobile (iOS or Android)
We're embarking on a significant engineering transformation, with a strong focus on full-cycle engineering across native mobile platforms and AI-enabled backend infrastructure.
As a Staff Software Engineer in Native Mobile, you will play a critical technical lead role in shaping the architecture, standards, and future direction of our mobile platforms — building secure, scalable, and high-performing experiences used by millions of Australians.
Together, we are building tomorrow's bank today — powered by world-class engineering, modern native technologies, and intelligent AI-enabled systems.
About the Role
As a Staff Engineer within our Native Mobile capability, you will:
* Lead and elevate engineering practices across iOS and/or Android platforms.
* Drive architectural decisions for scalable, modular, and maintainable native mobile applications.
* Champion modern platform standards — performance, security, accessibility, and reliability.
* Guide squads through full-cycle engineering: ideation, design, build, testing (unit, UI, integration, NFT), release, and ongoing optimisation.
* Promote clean architecture and platform-aligned design patterns.
* Mentor engineers and uplift technical capability across the crew.
* Partner with backend, cloud, and AI teams to integrate secure APIs and intelligent services into mobile experiences.
* Contribute to DevSecOps practices, CI/CD maturity, and operational excellence.
* Shape technical roadmaps in collaboration with Product Owners and Domain leaders.
About the Team
You'll join one of our Digital crews within Retail Technology, responsible for building and evolving Australia's leading banking app — used by 1 in 4 Australians.
We deliver experience-led, engineering-driven solutions across payments, money management, and financial wellbeing — at national scale.
You'll work within one of the largest and most mature mobile engineering environments in the country, supporting critical digital banking services and high-availability systems.
What We're Looking For
* Deep expertise in native mobile development — either iOS or Android.
* Strong full-cycle engineering experience across design, build, testing, release, and production support.
* Ability to provide high-level design direction and architectural leadership.
* Passion for engineering excellence and platform craftsmanship.
* Strong understanding of operational metrics, app health monitoring, and production observability.
* Experience collaborating across backend and cloud engineering teams.
Technical Skills
Native Platform Expertise (Either)
iOS
* Strong experience developing native iOS applications using Swift.
* Proficiency with SwiftUI (and UIKit where applicable).
* Deep understanding of iOS architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularisation).
* Experience with Swift concurrency (async/await, Combine).
Android
* Strong experience developing native Android applications using Kotlin (Java where applicable).
* Proficiency with Jetpack Compose.
* Deep understanding of Android architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularisation).
* Experience with coroutines, flows, and modern Android concurrency patterns.
Cross-Platform Engineering Capability
* Experience building feature-based, modular mobile architectures.
* Strong knowledge of performance optimisation, scalability, and accessibility.
* Experience with secure mobile development and API integrations.
* Monitoring and observability experience (AppD, Firebase, AppDynamics, Observe, Obstack).
* CI/CD pipeline experience (TeamCity Enterprise, Artifactory, GitHub, GitHub Actions).
* Familiarity with AWS-based backend systems and APIs.
* Exposure to Python-based AI/LLM services is advantageous.
If you're passionate about building high-quality native mobile experiences at national scale — and excited about shaping the future of digital banking — we'd love to hear from you.
