Job Description
World-class engineering teams, tools and delivery platforms.
Act as a “mini‑CIO” for core banking and product systems.
Centrally located, modern corporate offices.
Agile, innovation led, inclusive and collaborative culture.
See Yourself in the Team
Bankwest has a proud West Australian heritage and a long‑standing reputation for innovating ahead of the industry. Today, we’re building tomorrow’s bank, one that’s digital at its core, deeply customer‑led, and engineered for scale.
To help shape that future, we’re looking for a Crew Tech Lead for our Core Product Platform to provide strategic technology leadership across our core banking and product platforms.
This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role at the heart of Bankwest’s transformation - ideal for a technology leader who thrives in complex, mission‑critical environments and is motivated by building resilient platforms that power great customer experiences.
Your Impact & Contribution
As Crew Tech Lead, you’ll act as a trusted technology advisor and “mini‑CIO” for the Core Product Platform, guiding the evolution of our core banking architecture while enabling delivery teams to move fast - safely.
You’ll lead the teams responsible for Bankwest’s core banking engineering and integration, driving platform uplift and modernisation across our Core Product systems. Working closely with product and business leaders, you’ll translate strategic intent into clear technical direction and sustainable engineering outcomes.
What you’ll do
Provide strategic technology leadership across Bankwest’s Core Product and Core Banking platforms
Define and own the technical roadmap, aligning with enterprise technology strategy, reference architectures, and modernisation agendas
Guide the evolution of our core banking architecture, balancing resilience, regulatory requirements, and delivery pace
Lead platform uplift initiatives, including decoupling, integration, and simplification of legacy systems
Enable autonomous delivery squads by setting clear architectural guardrails and removing technical blockers
Champion modern engineering practices, including microservices, domain‑aligned architectures (BIAN), secure‑by‑design principles, and cloud‑native development
Act as a senior escalation point for complex technical decisions, risk trade‑offs, and cross‑domain dependencies
Grow and empower engineers and technical leaders, fostering a culture of strong engineering, continuous improvement, and accountability
About you
You’re an experienced technology leader who blends deep engineering and architecture expertise with the ability to inspire, coach, and influence at scale.
You bring clarity to complexity and are comfortable making tough trade‑offs in high‑impact, regulated environments.
You’ll likely bring:
Proven experience leading mission‑critical platforms (e.g. core banking, payments, or large‑scale product platforms)
Strong background in platform engineering, integration, and application modernisation
Demonstrated ownership of technical roadmaps and long‑term architecture strategy
Experience balancing delivery speed, platform resilience, risk, and technical debt
Strong knowledge of enterprise data standards, reference architectures, and secure‑by‑design principles
The ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders with confidence and credibility
A passion for building modern, sustainable tech ecosystems and developing high‑performing engineering teams
You’re Perth‑based, or ready to be, and value being close to your teams and stakeholders.
Why Bankwest?
At Bankwest, our people are our competitive advantage. We foster a culture of bold ideas, curiosity, and continuous change, where everyone is empowered to do meaningful work and shape the future.
We’re on a mission to become Australia’s favourite digital bank, evolving from one of the country’s oldest banks into one built for the needs of today and tomorrow. We’re proud of our West Australian roots, our inclusive culture, and the way our colleagues bring Bankwest to life every day.

A wide range of financial, lifestyle, and wellbeing benefits
Meaningful recognition that rewards impact, leadership, and great outcomes
