The Staff Engineer role sits within the Internal Developer Platforms team, where you will play a key role in architecting the future ANZ developer platform. You will help shape the systems, tooling, and engineering foundations that enable engineers across ANZ to build, release, and operate software safely, efficiently, and at scale.

Operating across teams and partnering with a broad range of stakeholders, you will influence platform strategy, drive critical system design decisions, and ensure solutions are aligned to both engineering and business priorities.

Through your technical leadership, systems thinking, and ability to influence across boundaries, you will help create a developer experience that accelerates innovation and enables engineering teams to deliver with confidence at scale.
