The posting

  • We’re transforming engineering through quality, automation and full-cycle ownership.
  • You have strong full-stack skills, technical judgement and end-to-end ownership.
  • Together we build secure, scalable technology that turns data into real-world insights.

Do work that matters:

As a Senior Software Engineer within CommBank IQ, you’ll be a hands-on, full-stack engineer with true end-to-end ownership, leading the technical delivery of complex features and initiatives from discovery and solution design through build, testing, deployment and production support. You’ll translate complex business and product requirements into secure, reliable and maintainable software, influence technical decisions and work closely with Product Owners and engineers to shape pragmatic solutions. You’ll champion strong engineering practices across automated testing, CI/CD, observability and production readiness, while tackling technical debt and improving system reliability. As a senior member of the team, you’ll also mentor other engineers, strengthen technical judgement and help build a culture of engineering excellence, continuous improvement and shared ownership.

See yourself in our team:

Join the CommBank iQ Engineering Chapter, where technology, data and analytics come together to turn complex transaction data into meaningful insights. CommBank iQ is a joint venture between Commonwealth Bank and Quantium, combining CBA’s transaction data with Quantium’s data and analytics expertise to help organisations better understand customers, spending behaviours, markets and emerging consumer trends.

As part of Engineering, you’ll work in a full-stack, full-cycle environment, building and owning technology from design and development through to deployment, observability and ongoing operation. You’ll tackle meaningful engineering challenges, work closely with data and product teams, and help build secure, scalable and reliable products that transform data into real-world insights. It’s an opportunity to bring strong engineering craft, curiosity and ownership to a team where the technology you build has a clear purpose.

We’re interested in hearing from people who:

  • Have experience leading complex engineering features and initiatives from solution shaping through to production.
  • Are hands-on in designing, building, testing and maintaining reliable, secure and maintainable software.
  • Can translate complex business and product requirements into pragmatic technical solutions and clearly explain engineering trade-offs.
  • Partner effectively with Product Owners and stakeholders during discovery, identifying technical dependencies, feasibility concerns and delivery risks early.
  • Balance delivery speed with software quality, security, maintainability, technical debt and the long-term health of systems.
  • Take ownership of complex production and operational issues, identifying recurring patterns and driving systemic improvements.
  • Demonstrate strong engineering practices across code reviews, automated testing, observability, CI/CD and production readiness.
  • Mentor engineers through pairing, code reviews and technical discussions, helping others develop stronger technical judgement and problem-solving skills.
  • Collaborate across engineering teams and contribute to a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, constructive challenge and shared ownership.

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.
