The posting

Worker Type:

Permanent

Here at BNZ, it's about more than just banking. We work together in an agile, energising environment to create innovative solutions through our promise "If you can imagine a better future, let's find a way."

We support wellbeing, flexible working and have a generous leave offering. There is the opportunity for growth, learning and career development. No two days are the same.

Ko mātou tēnei | This is Us

Meet the Engineering Excellence team — a newly forming team within BNZ Technology with a clear purpose: to lift the quality, consistency and confidence of engineering across BNZ Technology. We are building a team that brings together strong technical craft, pragmatic governance and a real focus on enabling others — and we have an exciting opportunity for a Quality Engineering Lead to help shape how quality engineering evolves at BNZ, including how we responsibly use emerging tools and practices such as AI-assisted engineering.

Mō te Tūranga | About the Role

We sat down with the Engineering Excellence Enablement Manager (who you’ll report to), and they let us know the following about the role.

This is an enterprise‑wide engineering practice leadership role focused on setting direction for how quality is engineered into software delivery at BNZ. Rather than owning testing for individual teams, you will focus on standards, practices, capability uplift and coaching that improve outcomes at scale. A key part of this role will be helping BNZ make effective, responsible use of AI-enabled engineering tools to improve quality outcomes, developer productivity, test coverage, insight generation and evidence-based decision making.

The role operates primarily through influence, enablement and evidence, rather than positional authority.

What are some of the responsibilities in this role?

  • Define and evolve BNZ’s quality engineering strategy, standards and practices, including test automation, quality gates, test data, observability and CI/CD quality controls.
  • Partner with delivery and platform teams to embed modern, shift-left quality practices into day-to-day ways of working, tooling and delivery governance.
  • Coach engineers and quality practitioners, building strong communities of practice, practical learning pathways and consistent quality engineering behaviours.
  • Use evidence, quality signals and delivery data to measure quality maturity, identify improvement opportunities, and connect engineering quality to delivery risk, assurance and release confidence.
  • Guide the practical and responsible use of AI-enabled engineering tools to strengthen test design, automation, defect analysis, documentation, pattern identification and continuous improvement.
  • Translate emerging quality engineering and AI-assisted practices into pragmatic guidance, standards and coaching that teams can adopt consistently.
  • Work across Technology to ensure quality expectations are integrated into standards, tooling and engineering practices in a way that supports safe, reliable and efficient delivery.

Quality engineering capability and career progression

This role will help shape what great quality engineering looks like at BNZ, and how engineers build the skills, confidence and career pathways to deliver it consistently. You will play an important part in making quality capability visible, practical and repeatable across teams by contributing to:

  • Clear expectations for quality engineering capability across roles and levels, aligned to BNZ’s engineering standards and modern delivery practices.
  • Career pathways that show how engineers can grow quality skills as part of their broader engineering craft, rather than treating quality as a separate specialist silo.
  • Practical coaching, learning pathways and communities of practice that help teams build quality in as they work, rather than relying on downstream testing.
  • Guidance on how AI-assisted tools can be used responsibly to support test design, automation, analysis and learning as part of ongoing capability growth.
  • Alignment between quality standards, training investment and progression expectations, so capability uplift translates into stronger engineering outcomes.

What will success look like for the candidate in this role?

Success in this role looks like consistent, repeatable quality engineering practices across Technology. Teams have clear test strategies, automation is effective and trusted, and quality gates are embedded into CI/CD in a way that supports delivery rather than slows it down. AI-enabled engineering tools are being used responsibly and effectively to strengthen quality practices, improve insight, and support better delivery decisions. There is measurable uplift in quality maturity, stronger assurance signals, and increased confidence in releases, reflected in reduced incidents and rework.

What skills & experience would be beneficial?

  • Strong technical credibility across modern quality engineering and test practices.
  • Experience defining or evolving quality standards in a complex or regulated environment.
  • Deep understanding of SDLC, shift‑left testing and automated quality controls.
  • Ability to influence and coach engineers and leaders without relying on formal authority.
  • Comfort using data and evidence to drive change and prioritisation.
  • A pragmatic mindset that balances speed, quality, risk and assurance.
  • Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering or quality tools to improve software delivery outcomes, with sound judgement around responsible use, risk management, data protection and governance.

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.
