Staff Software Engineer – iOS (Native Mobile)
We're embarking on a major engineering transformation with a strong focus on full-cycle engineering across native iOS development and AI-enabled backend platforms, including Python-based Agentic LLM infrastructure.
As a Staff iOS Engineer, you will be a technical lead within our Digital squad — shaping native mobile architecture, uplifting engineering standards, and driving world-class customer experiences within Commbank Mobile and NetBank.
Together, we are building tomorrow's bank today — using world-leading engineering practices, modern Apple-native technologies, and AI-enabled platforms.
About the Role
As a senior technical lead within iOS engineering, you will:
* Lead and elevate native iOS engineering practices across the domain.
* Champion modern iOS development using Swift and SwiftUI.
* Drive architectural direction for scalable, modular, and testable mobile applications.
* Promote platform excellence across accessibility, performance, security, and reliability.
* Implement and advocate Apple Human Interface Guidelines and platform best practices.
* Mentor and guide engineers in writing clean, maintainable, well-tested Swift code.
* Make key architectural decisions and translate them into pragmatic, production-ready solutions.
* Collaborate with backend, AI, and platform teams to integrate Python-based Agentic LLM services into secure mobile experiences.
* Partner with Product Owners and stakeholders to shape technical roadmaps and innovation initiatives.
* Contribute to DevSecOps practices and operational excellence across CI/CD and cloud environments.
About the Team
Join the Plan, Save & Grow squad within the Digital Crew in Retail Technology.
We design and build intelligent Money Management experiences that help customers grow their savings and take meaningful steps toward their lifestyle goals — all within Australia's leading banking app.
* Commbank Mobile is used by 1 in 4 Australians.
* We deliver experience-led, engineering-driven solutions that improve financial wellbeing.
* You'll work within one of the largest and most mature mobile engineering teams in the country, supporting critical payments and digital banking services at scale.
What We're Looking For
* Deep passion for native iOS development and platform craftsmanship.
* Strong full-cycle engineering capability — from ideation and architecture through build, testing (unit, UI, integration, NFT), release, and ongoing optimisation.
* Experience leading technical design and providing architectural guidance to squads.
* Commitment to engineering excellence, code quality, and knowledge sharing.
* Strong understanding of operational metrics, observability, and app health monitoring.
* Ability to collaborate effectively across backend, AI, and cloud engineering teams.
Technical Skills
Core iOS Expertise (Primary Focus)
* Extensive experience building native iOS applications using Swift.
* Strong proficiency in SwiftUI and UIKit (where applicable).
* Deep understanding of:
o iOS architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularisation)
o Concurrency (async/await, Combine, structured concurrency)
o Performance optimisation and memory management
o Accessibility and inclusive design
o Secure mobile development practices
* Experience building feature-based, modular mobile architectures.
* Strong knowledge of Apple Human Interface Guidelines and platform conventions.
Engineering & Platform
* Experience monitoring app health, crash analytics, and observability tools (AppD, Firebase, AppDynamics, Observe, Obstack).
* CI/CD experience (TeamCity Enterprise, Artifactory, GitHub, GitHub Actions).
* Experience working with REST/GraphQL APIs and backend integrations.
* Familiarity with public cloud environments (AWS preferred).
* Exposure to Python-based backend services and AI/LLM integrations is highly regarded.
Nice to Have
* Exposure to, TypeScript, React.
* Android/Kotlin experience (beneficial but not required).
* Familiarity with .NET environments.
If you are passionate about building high-quality, secure, scalable native iOS experiences at national scale — and excited by the opportunity to integrate AI-powered capabilities into mobile banking — we would love to hear from you.
