• You are passionate about creating innovative team cultures
• We are high performing engineers pushing the boundaries of software engineering

Do work that matters

This is no ordinary Software Engineering function. This is where we built Australia's number one banking app, and then rebuilt it. Where we developed Cardless Cash, Benefits Finder, StepPay and Spend Tracker. And continue to simplify and evolve them.

Our Engineering Managers are curious, life-long learners who serve as connectors facilitating open communication and establishing meaningful relationships between individuals and teams to get great outcomes for our organisation, our customers, and the community
