Let’s talk about who we are

The nib Group has a mission and vision of people enjoying better health. Through our success, we aspire to more prosperous and sustainable communities, not only the creation of enterprise value. nib is a trusted health partner, helping members and travellers make more informed healthcare decisions, transact with healthcare systems and generally live healthier lives.

We're looking for people who share this passion and want to be a part of a team that has the appetite and ambition to be extraordinary. Extraordinary comes in different perspectives and experiences. We're committed to an environment where everyone has the autonomy and freedom to be their authentic selves, every day.

Let’s talk about diversity, equity and inclusion

We embrace a flexible working environment and welcome candidates that reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate. We actively encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people living with disability, LGBTQIA+ as well as culturally diverse community members to apply for open roles.

nib Group is committed to creating an accessible recruitment process and employment experience. If you identify as a person living with disability and require adjustments to our online application, recruitment, selection and/or assessment process, or would like this advertise in an alternative format, please contact us at nibemployment@nib.com.au.

Let’s talk about this role

As the Lead Software Engineer in our Data & AI business unit, you will be responsible for the analysis, architecture, design, development, delivery and support of new and existing software applications to meet a range of business needs. You will use your product thinking when designing solutions, and continually challenge our processes with cutting edge thinking on the role of software development within the organisation.

Some other key responsibilities of the role include:

  • Independently leading software engineering initiatives, using strong business acumen and appropriate level of pragmatism to get the job done.

  • End-to-end responsibility for projects of increasing complexity and contributing to the common code bases and standards for your team.

  • Managerial responsibilities for Software Engineers and providing technical mentorship for the overall team, helping draft clear time schedules, removing blocks, and assisting more junior members of the team.

  • Playing a key role in building solutions and delivery plans that align to business objectives and constraints.

  • Be the go-to expert by demonstrating an elevated level of knowledge in the field of software development.

Let’s talk about you

With a strong architectural mindset and demonstrated knowledge of software engineering principles (e.g., automated acceptance testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery), other skills and experience that will set you up for success in this role include:

  • The ability to communicate effectively with non-engineers of varying levels at the company including coaching both technical and non-technical skills.

  • Varied commercial experience leading and developing solutions in either Node.JS or Python (you may be required to work in both languages).

  • Highly developed analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, and ability to work in a highly collaborative team environment.

  • Proven experience in teaching others and keenness to learn.

  • Product thinking in software design.

  • Experience or exposure to cloud services, AWS (Amazon Web Services) in particular.

  • Experience with ORMs, relational databases and NoSQL databases.

  • Experience with automated testing and mocking frameworks.

  • Practice and promote Agile software development practices and methodologies.

  • Deep understanding of how to build resilient and secure systems, ideally with concepts such as Anti-fragile.

  • Experience in micro-services architecture.

  • Previous exposure to Generative AI, Prompt Engineering and Large Language Models will be highly regarded.

At nib, we recognise that some people may only apply when their education, skills and/or experiences are identical to what an employer is looking for in a candidate. We’re always on the lookout for curious individuals who will add to the culture at nib Group – so if this role resonates with you, please apply
