Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Westpac Group Full time

How will I help?

Solution Architects at Westpac play a critical role in making our technology come to life, driving value into our environment at scale. They thrive as leaders at all levels of technology: strategy, architecture, engineering and operations. At the Senior level, Solution Architects are constantly curious and engaged in balancing the economic and technical dynamics to deliver solutions that work optimally for the bank.

Your key responsibilities include:

  • Design and implement (either directly or through coaching and collaboration with team mates) key architecture patterns such as integrated micro front-ends, scalable technology platform services, cloud-native software (ranging through to serverless elements).
  • Develop, communicate and drive adoption of reference architecture, framework and implementation of distributed applications and services that are optimised for operation within Westpac's distributed mesh environment.
  • Function as an individual contributor, embedded in one or more outcome-aligned cross-functional teams. Act as a trusted advisor to business management, as well as a proactive representative of your teams.
  • Guide and drive the re-factoring of Westpac's applications into cost-efficient sources of business value.

What's in it for me?

You'll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for 200 years. Our purpose is of creating better futures together. So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grown, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure. Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.

What do I need?

To be successful in this role you will have:

  • Practical experience applying design and problem-solving to a range of business technology scenarios such as integration and consolidation, product and feature launch, incident management, and the application of data analytics and machine learning to business operations.
  • You will have deep expertise in one or more Technology Stacks that Westpac use
  • You are a long-term thinker, with a background in systems design, exposure to multiple architecture approaches, able to employ a variety of structured problem-solving techniques.
  • You demonstrate interest in continuous learning and the application of value-generating technology across design, planning, technology selection, hosting & operations.
  • You can navigate the trade-offs involved with adopting new technology vs. owning established technology that delivers quantifiable value.
  • Comprehensive regard for scale, high-availability and performance – as well as the ability to influence Westpac at all levels (from board to codebase) – toward the adoption and maintenance of Westpac's industry leadership in technology.
  • You have experience with and appreciation for effective ownership and co-ordination models such as Single-Threaded Ownership, platform/framework teams, DevOps, Communities of Practice, and Tiger teams.

What is it like to work there?

We aim to provide one big, supportive team to help us achieve our purpose of creating better futures together. With us you'll discover new ways of working, and an exciting range of roles to showcase your skills. As an equal opportunity employer, we're proud to have created a culture where people can be their best, in an environment that values diversity and flexibility and one where everyone belongs. #LI-Hybrid
