It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

Are you passionate about cultivating talented teams and creating an environment where people can do their best work? We're looking for an empathetic and collaborative Engineering Leader to guide one or more of our cross-functional squads.

In this role, you will be the heart of the team, fostering a culture of psychological safety and trust. Your mission is to nurture the health and growth of both our people and the services they create, ensuring we deliver exceptional and reliable outcomes for our customers.

How You'll Help Our Team Flourish 

In this role, your leadership will be about creating a supportive and collaborative environment where everyone can contribute their best work.  In this role you will get to:

• A thoughtful approach to building secure, reliable, and trusted technology for our customers.
• Experience in building customer facing digital products and solutions would be highly regarded.

Hybrid work? Flexible hours? A compressed work week? Our flexible work options are designed to suit your life.  This role will be based in our brand-new office location in Melbourne CBD.  We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team.  We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls.

Health and well-being support, including discounted gym memberships, private health insurance options, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your immediate family members.
