- Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications across backend services, APIs, and frontend interfaces.
- Build and optimise data pipelines, models, and integration routines across multiple systems.
- Perform data analysis, profiling, mapping, and documentation of end-to-end data flows.
- Apply secure coding practices, encryption controls, and follow CBA risk and compliance frameworks.
- Support CICD, cloud deployments, system monitoring, and performance tuning.
- Work collaboratively within cross-functional squads, contributing to Agile ceremonies and delivery outcomes.
- Own the delivery of data models, reports, and user-facing features end to end.
- Perform exploratory data analysis to identify data quality issues early and implement automated tests to prevent future issues.
- Continually learn and apply modern technology best practices in both data engineering and full stack development.
- Adhere to the Code of Conduct, setting the standards of behaviour, actions, and decisions expected from our people.
Essential Skills:-
- 13-18 year’s experience in defining, govern, and champion architecture patterns, engineering standards, DevOps and SRE practices, and long-term platform strategies, ensuring all solutions are secure, scalable, observable, and aligned with CBA technology principles.
- Lead large-scale, multi-domain engineering initiatives spanning application development, data pipelines, DevOps automation, and cloud-native services, with measurable improvements to reliability, performance, and operational efficiency.
- Provide technical leadership across full stack development (frontend, backend, APIs), data platforms, pipelines, cloud architectures, and site reliability engineering, ensuring cohesive and modern engineering across the ecosystem.
- Mentor and uplift Software Engineers, Senior Engineers, and SREs, embedding strong engineering culture, capability uplift, and best-practice patterns in coding, testing, security, observability, automation, and data quality.
- Influence strategic technology decisions and roadmaps, shaping long-term architecture direction, cloud strategy, DevOps maturity journey, reliability targets (SLIs/SLOs), and platform investment priorities.
- Drive modernisation initiatives, including application re-platforming, microservices adoption, legacy decomposition, data platform uplift, CI/CD automation, observability enhancement, and cloud transformation.
- Partner with risk, security, operations, and business leaders to ensure all systems adhere to secure-by-design principles, engineering risk controls, data governance, encryption standards, and operational resiliency requirements.
- Lead and operationalise SRE practices, including:
- Establishing monitoring, logging, tracing, and observability frameworks
