About the Role
Lead the design and delivery of scalable, high-performance payment solutions across modern cloud-native platforms. Shape a critical area of Australia’s payments landscape while mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams. Work across Java, TypeScript, AWS and distributed systems while setting strong engineering standards.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership and engineering direction across complex software initiatives.
- Lead system design and make pragmatic architectural decisions for secure, scalable and high-performance distributed applications.
- Design and evolve APIs and microservices using backend technologies such as Java and Spring Boot, Node.js and TypeScript.
- Build cloud-native solutions using AWS, Kubernetes, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code.
- Apply event-driven architecture and messaging technologies such as Kafka to solve complex integration and distributed-system challenges.
- Champion modern engineering practices across CI/CD, DevSecOps, observability, resilience and production lifecycle ownership.
- Work closely with engineers, Staff Engineers, Principal Engineers and other technology partners to establish clear technical direction.
- Coach and mentor engineers while influencing engineering standards and practices across teams.
- Contribute to the evolution of PayTo and mandate-management capabilities supporting scheduled payments.
Requirements
- Experienced software engineer and technical leader combining deep technical capability with strong architectural judgement.
- Comfortable leading through influence and expertise rather than formal people management.
- Ability to bring engineers together to solve complex technical challenges.
- Strong modern software engineering experience using Java and Spring Boot and/or Node.js and TypeScript.
- Hands-on experience designing APIs, microservices and distributed applications.
- Strong cloud-native engineering experience with AWS, with exposure to technologies such as Kubernetes, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code.
- Experience designing or working with event-driven architectures, ideally using Kafka or similar messaging platforms.
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD and DevSecOps, including observability, resilience and owning software throughout its production lifecycle.
- Strong system-design skills and experience making architectural decisions across complex technology environments.
- Experience providing technical leadership across multiple engineering teams or squads.
- Demonstrated ability to coach and mentor engineers and influence technical standards beyond your immediate team.
- Exposure to AI-assisted engineering tools or practices is valuable.
