The posting

  • Lead the engineering teams behind IB&M's data, analytics and AI platforms
  • Own the technical direction, health and delivery of critical data and market data platforms
  • Build a high-performing, engineering-led crew, based in Sydney

Do work that matters

At CommBank, technology is core to how we build tomorrow's bank today. You'll help shape modern, resilient and trusted platforms that support better experiences for our customers, clients and colleagues.

Our Crew Tech Leads are senior engineering leaders who own lead both the people and the platforms in their crew. They lead engineers, set technical direction and are accountable for delivering outcomes for the business, working at the forefront of some of Australia's largest and most complex technology environments.

See yourself in the team

Institutional Banking Technology builds and runs the technology, data and AI platforms that support CBA's Institutional Banking & Markets (IB&M) business, serving Australia's largest corporate, institutional and government clients, as well as the teams who support them.

The IB&M Data & Platforms Crew's purpose is to grow IB&M through leading data, analytics and AI infrastructure. We build and operate the data platforms, products and digital capabilities that enable our business to access trusted data, generate insights, automate processes and manage risk safely. At the heart of our data ecosystem is the IB&M Data & Analytics Platform (IDAP), our modern cloud data platform, alongside platforms that capture and cleanse the market data used across the Group, monitor trading activity and communications for market conduct, and give our Markets teams a platform for quantitative analytics and modelling. Our work spans modern cloud data platforms, data products, market data, analytics and AI, monitoring and surveillance, non-financial risk automation, and Data & AI governance.

We work closely with teams across Global Markets, Transaction Banking, Trade Finance and Lending, Financial Crime, Risk, Compliance and the broader CBA technology and data community. We are a collaborative, engineering-led crew that values deep understanding of our business and client needs, speed and quality of execution, and safe, secure and resilient platforms with well-governed data.

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the General Manager – Institutional Banking Technology, and partnering with the Crew Lead, you'll lead the engineers, squads and engineering leaders across the Data & Platforms Crew. You'll be accountable for the technical direction, health and delivery of the crew's platforms and data products, and for building a team that delivers at pace, safely.

You'll do this by:

  • Leading, coaching and growing a diverse team of engineering leaders and engineers, setting clear expectations and building capability for the future.
  • Owning the technology roadmap, architecture and long-term health of the crew's platforms, spanning our cloud data and analytics platform, market data management, trade surveillance, quantitative analytics and the cloud infrastructure that supports IB&M workloads.
  • Accelerating the delivery of trusted, reusable data products that the business and other crews can consume at scale.
  • Leading major technology transformation across the crew, simplifying the platform landscape, modernising legacy data estates and safely migrating consumers onto strategic platforms, then decommissioning what is no longer needed.
  • Aligning the crew's platforms with Group data and architecture direction, making sound enterprise decisions rather than optimising one domain at the bank's expense.
  • Championing safe adoption of AI, GenAI and agentic capabilities, both in the products we build and in how our engineers build them.
  • Keeping platforms secure, resilient and well controlled, managing vulnerabilities, vendor and operational risk, and meeting regulatory obligations.
  • Managing the crew's technology costs and vendor relationships to deliver value for money.

We're interested in hearing from people who:

Are engineering leaders with a strong technical foundation in data platforms, who have led and grown teams in large, complex environments. You'll bring sound technical judgement, a track record of delivery and the ability to influence across business, product, risk, architecture and the wider technology community. We don't expect you to have done everything below; if you have some of this experience and are keen to grow the rest, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Have led engineering teams or squads, ideally including leaders of leaders and distributed teams.
  • Have experience with modern cloud data platforms (for example Snowflake, AWS), data engineering, data products or data governance.
  • Have some experience modernising or migrating legacy data platforms, bringing consumers along with you.
  • Understand financial markets or institutional banking data, such as market data, trading, surveillance or risk, or are keen to learn it quickly.
  • Have some experience with how AI, GenAI and agentic platforms can improve colleague and customer experiences, and how to adopt them safely.
  • Have some experience integrating and managing vendor and SaaS platforms.
  • Value engineering excellence across secure design, CI/CD, automation, observability, reliability, controls and operational risk.
  • Are comfortable working across strategy and technical detail, and can hold engineers and vendors to a high standard.
  • Care about developing people, building capability and creating an inclusive engineering culture.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
