**Ko wai Tatou? | Who We Are?**

Westpac is a strong and trusted brand in the New Zealand financial services market. What you may not know is that we deliver our innovative banking products and great customer outcomes using the best tech available and teams empowered to deliver for our customers.

Spread across Wellington and Auckland, we work in product groups, consisting of business product managers, software product owners and agile squads as well as engineers, all working together to deliver the best outcomes for our customers. We call it the Westpac Way of Working and we want you to be part of it.

With our flexible working arrangements, you will also be able to work from home as per an agreement with your people lead.

**Me pehea koe e awhina ai? | How will you help?**

In this key, Software Developer role in the Everyday Banking Product Group, you will provide technical leadership and expertise to the squads, ensuring we build in-line with modern best practices.

In the Everyday Banking product group, we strive to deliver frictionless experiences for our customers in managing their money. This spans the entire customer journey from initial onboarding to provisioning accounts and cards and providing products that are simple, safe and support our customer’s day to day needs.

You are someone that is aware of business, infrastructure, and technical issues to aid in the development and implementation of innovative solutions and anticipate future direction in the tech industry. Your ability to communicate a vision to technical and not-so-technical stakeholders and your ability to listen and adapt to emerging requirements will bring that vision to life.

While our legacy platforms are predominantly based on Java, new-build micro-services could be implemented in Go, C# (.net 5 / core), Rust or a mix of tech on a best-fit basis. Your experience in one or more of these technologies will be partnered with an enthusiasm for exploring and learning the others. While we still have to operate and maintain current system health, we need someone who can find the opportunities to do this using modern development patterns and advocate for better delivery practices.

Above all, we believe in simplification and want you to help us drive this, to deliver resilient software faster and more frequently.

This is a role for which we would normally expect several years of relevant experience. We don’t have a minimum number in mind as this will vary according to what you have been doing in that time. Quite simply, if this role speaks to you and you feel ready for the challenge, we are eager to talk to you.

**For this role you will need experience of**:

- Full Stack Java including Spring, Spring Boot or similar
- Micro-service design, specification, and implementation
- RESTful Api design, specification, and implementation
- Modern Javascript frameworks (e.g. React, VueJS)
- Kubernetes and Docker or similar orchestration and containerization

**Ideally you will also have knowledge and experience of**:

- AWS, Azure or similar cloud platforms
- CI/CD and automation.
- Apache Kafka or similar
- Security and resilience concerns and patterns

**Additionally, you will bring**:

- A proven ability and enthusiasm for learning and exploration
- Experience of working in agile, cross-functional teams
- A focus on quality, simplification, and best practice
- The ability to communicate with peers and stakeholders from different areas, and at different levels, across the business.

Banking experience would be a bonus but is not essential.
