  • ● Together we build the future of digital investing at scale.
  • ● Do work that matters:
  • ● As a technical leader, you'll drive hands-on development, contribute to architecture decisions, and mentor engineers across the team. You'll play a key role in shaping modern web platforms, improving engineering standards, and solving complex challenges at scale. This opportunity is ideal for someone who is passionate about front-end development, enjoys leading through delivery, and understands how great user experiences are built on solid engineering foundations.
  • ● See yourself in our team:
  • ● You'll be joining the Digital & Customer Crew within CommSec, the team responsible for the web and digital experiences that help Australians trade, invest and manage their financial future. As part of one of Australia's leading online brokerage platforms, we build and operate customer-facing applications that support millions of interactions every year. Working in a modern web stack, our engineers primarily develop responsive micro-frontend experiences, with exposure to APIs, cloud-native services and platform capabilities that keep CommSec secure, scalable and reliable. We're currently in the process of rebuilding and modernising the CommSec web platform, giving engineers the opportunity to make foundational technical decisions and shape how millions of Australians experience investing online.

  • ● Bring strong full-stack web application development experience, with React as their primary technical strength. Exposure to C, .NET and REST APIs is a bonus, but a willingness to develop back-end capability to support full-cycle engineering ownership across the product lifecycle is what matters most.
  • ● Take ownership across the full software development lifecycle, from solution design and development through to deployment, production support and continuous improvement.
  • ● Apply engineering excellence through CI/CD, automated testing, observability, monitoring and performance optimisation to deliver secure, reliable and scalable solutions.
