Do work that matters

We've always been innovative, evolving over time to look after a growing regional market and seeking out new customers. With the support of a strong partner in CBA, we share a belief in the value of our brand, our potential for growth and a big aspirational Vision.

This is no ordinary Software Engineering function. We're building tomorrow's bank today, which means we need creative and diverse engineers to help us redefine what customers expect from a bank. Envisioning new technologies that are still waiting to be invented and reimagining products that support our customers and help build Australia's future economy.

See yourself in our team
Bankwest's Technology Division develops and executes all technical change within the organisation ensuring the leverage of technology to deliver the Bankwest strategy. The division works on a wide variety of technologies and projects with the support of a dedicated team in an Agile methodology.

They build trust through payment fraud and scam prevention, privacy controls, and transparent tools that help customers transact safely and confidently.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about building impactful products, thrives in a Product Operating Model, and is eager to take full ownership of solving real user problems. You will join a cross-functional, empowered team, working side-by-side with a Product Owner/Manager and Designer to form the core product trio. Your role goes beyond coding: you will contribute to ideation, design, implementation, testing, release, and ongoing improvement of our products.

We value a "product engineer" mindset—where you care as much about the product's success and user experience as you do about code. We expect you to be a clear communicator who collaborates proactively with peers and stakeholders, and to demonstrate technical leadership within and beyond the team.
