Job Description
Staff Platform Engineer - Identity Services
Join our dynamic team in a senior technical leadership role
Do the work that matters
CommBank invests in the latest AI technology stack across our ecosystems, giving our engineers modern tooling, platforms, and AI-enabled workflows to build with. You will work in an environment where AI-assisted engineering is part of how we design, deliver, and support software at scale.
See yourself in the team
We are seeking an experienced engineer to join Identity Services as a Staff Platform Engineer. You will set the technical direction for our platform ecosystem and guide a team delivering reliable, secure, and cost-effective end-user computing solutions.Deep CI/CD and pipeline expertise is central to the role, alongside strong design judgement, a focus on automation and operational excellence, and the ability to lift the engineers around you. A working understanding of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra will set you up for success.
This is a full-time position. Flexible working conditions and hybrid working environments are available.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership: Shape the roadmap and strategy for your team's products and services, and mentor engineers while staying hands-on in the codebase.
Engineering Standards: Champion engineering principles, design patterns, and delivery quality across the domain.
Pipelines and Automation: Design, build, and improve CI/CD pipelines and automation that make secure, repeatable delivery the default.
AI-Enabled Delivery: Apply AI tooling thoughtfully across coding, testing, and support, and help others adopt it well.
Delivery and Architecture: Build platform services and support tools that deliver measurable business value, and lead the transition to target architectures.
Innovation and Enablement: Identify emerging technologies aligned to the Group's strategic direction, and promote knowledge sharing, documentation, and reusability.
Technical Skills
Deep, hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling (e.g. GitHub, GitHub Actions), with secure delivery practices built in.
Full lifecycle platform engineering — design, build, run — with a strong grasp of testing and operational readiness.
Strong scripting or development experience (PowerShell, .NET, Bash, Python).
Working knowledge of identity services, including Active Directory and Microsoft Entra.
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), AWS services, containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus).
Leadership Competencies
Influencing and Persuading: Build alignment and shift technical direction through evidence and relationships rather than formal authority.
Coaching and Development: Provide effective feedback and mentoring to raise engineering capability, including beyond your own team.
Collaboration: Work effectively across functions, teams, and geographies to deliver shared outcomes.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Manage competing priorities and treat complex production challenges as opportunities to learn.
Risk Management: Integrate risk management and secure engineering principles into decision-making, including the responsible use of AI tooling.
