• We're building the platform that powers Australia's investing future.
• You bring deep backend, cloud and AI-augmented engineering expertise.
• Together we scale the systems that process every trade, order and portfolio decision at CommSec.
Do work that matters:
We are hiring a Staff Engineer Software role within CommSec Technology's Product & Investing Crew — the engineering group responsible for the core platforms behind order management, trade lifecycle, clearing & settlement, complex products and portfolio value management. You'll design and build the backend services and cloud infrastructure that process high-volume, high-integrity financial transactions for one of Australia's largest online brokerage platforms.
You'll work primarily across backend services and cloud platforms — designing resilient APIs, event-driven systems and data pipelines in C#/.NET on AWS — with the ability to influence architectural decisions across distributed, transaction-critical systems. Front-end exposure is a bonus, not a requirement: our priority is deep backend, systems and cloud engineering capability.
See yourself in our team:
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll be joining the Product & Investing Crew within CommSec — the crew that owns the platforms behind order lifecycle, equities trade processing, clearing & settlement, complex products, and portfolio & value-proposition management. Our squads span the full trading lifecycle: from order placement and execution through to settlement, client monies, and post-trade remediation. We build and operate the systems that keep millions of trades processing accurately, securely and at scale every day.
Our engineers take full ownership from design through deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement, partnering closely with product and domain leads across our value streams. We're leaning into AI-assisted engineering — using tools like Claude Code and Copilot to accelerate delivery, automate code review and testing, and raise the bar on quality — while solving hard distributed-systems problems in a regulated, high-integrity trading environment.
