Role: Senior Software Engineer

Duration: 6 Month contract

Rate:$800-850 + Superannuation

Hybrid: 50% in office policy


About the Company

Join a leading Australian bank’s Business Banking AI program to build customer-facing agentic AI in production. You’ll work in cross-functional squads with real idea-to-pilot velocity, strong engineering peers, and a hybrid model (50% onsite). This is an initial contract role, through 30 June 2026 with ongoing work expected.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer you will have full-stack capabilities and at least fundemental knowledge of building AI.

  • You’ll ship robust software that makes agentic AI useful and reliable for customers.

  • Design, build and run production-grade services and UIs for AI agents.

  • Own features end-to-end: design, code, test, deploy, observe and improve.

  • Embed CI/CD, automated testing, rollouts, SLIs/SLOs and post-mortems.

  • Instrument logs/metrics/traces; diagnose and resolve issues quickly.

  • Collaborate with data/AI teams to integrate LLM/agent workflows safely.

  • Lift engineering standards across squads through patterns and frameworks.



About You

You’re a full-stack engineer who thinks in systems and ships to production.

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals; production systems and quality code.

  • Full-stack mindset: TypeScript/React (Next.js a plus) and .NET/C#/Java/Kotlin (Spring).

  • Python for AI/data; Spark/Scala exposure welcome but not required.

  • Clear problem-solving with trade-offs; “strong opinions, loosely held”.

  • GenAI/agentic hands-on ideal; baseline understanding OK with strong engineering.

  • Financial services background preferred; collaborative and curious with a bias to action.

  • Must have full Australian Working rights



The Benefits

  • Work with cutting edge Agentic AI
  • Greenfields project, where you can see your ideas turn into reality
  • Initial 6-month contract with scope for extension
