Do work that matters

As someone who never shies away from a challenge, let us present ours to you. We're working to re‐architect and modernise our delivery landscape, enabling our engineers to provide seamless solutions to millions of people. And we want your help.

Here, you'll create, manage and optimise the platforms used to power our entire business. You'll have the opportunity to take responsibility for continuous improvement, ensuring our systems are simpler, faster and more secure.

The size and nature of our systems and the pace at which our customers' expectations are changing means we're always seeking out the latest technology, experimenting and pushing the boundaries. Our work is key to future‐proofing one of Australia's largest companies.

See yourself in our team

The cloud movement at CommBank is going strong and continues to grow. We're looking for out‐of‐the‐box thinkers who want to use technology to work on real‐world problems that have the potential to change the lives of our 17 million+ customers.

Core Responsibilities

* Design and evolve platforms: develop and maintain reusable infrastructure, templates, and tooling that support application deployment, observability, and operational resilience.
* Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and monitoring using Infrastructure as Code, ensuring consistency and repeatability across environments.
* Collaborate with product teams: partner with internal and third‐party engineers to co‐design and operate platforms that improve delivery velocity, quality, and safety.
* Participate in on‐call rotations and incident response workflows to maintain availability of critical services.
* Influence and direct engineering practices across vendor teams to align with the bank's standards and pursue automation, observability, and governance practices.
* Engage in cross‐functional governance forums such as Change, Risk & Security, and Service Management to ensure alignment with engineering and operational standards.
* Oversee blended responsibilities with SRE, data and systems engineering, especially in observability, DevOps integration, and service reliability.
* Drive continuous improvement: perform complex problem resolution, root cause analysis, and identify opportunities for enhancement.

We're interested in hearing from people who

* Have proven experience working with engineering and operational teams, especially cloud data‐engineering platforms.

* Have excellent communication skills (written and verbal).
* Have a problem‐solving mindset with a focus on automation and continuous process improvement.
* Exhibit a proactive approach, constantly seeking innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.
* Offer mentorship to junior engineers, contributing effectively both as an individual and as part of a team.

* Experience with container technology, Docker, and Kubernetes/EKS.
* Experience with source control and CI/CD tooling such as GitHub, GitHub Actions, Artifactory, and Jenkins.
