Mō te Tūranga | About the role
Join ASB’s Modern Integration Platform Engineering Squad and help shape the future of our integration and event-driven technology landscape. This is an opportunity to work on complex, enterprise-scale technology, influence platform direction, and build resilient solutions that power critical experiences across the bank.
As a senior technical leader within the squad, you will play a key role in driving platform capability, engineering excellence, and operational resilience across ASB’s modern integration ecosystem.
In this role, you will:
- Design and deliver complex, scalable software solutions across ASB’s integration platforms
- Lead platform ownership and contribute to architecture and engineering direction
- Manage and optimise cloud-based SaaS platforms, including Confluent Cloud
- Partner closely with engineers, architects, product owners, and cross-functional squads to deliver high-quality outcomes

- Influence the resilience, performance, and long-term sustainability of ASB’s technology stack
- Support and mentor other engineers through technical guidance, collaboration, and knowledge sharing
This Level 4 role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, enjoys influencing engineering direction, and wants to remain hands-on while making a meaningful impact across a large-scale technology environment – all without formal people leadership responsibilities.
