About the role
Do you thrive on bridging technical depth with business value?
At Rio Tinto, we are seeking a technically savvy and people-first leader to manage a software engineering team building integrations across Rio Tinto’s mining extract domain.
As Manager Software Engineering Integrations, you will guide a cross-functional team to develop secure, scalable and value-driven integrations across Rio Tinto’s internal and external systems. This role is ideal for an experienced architect or engineering lead with a strong background cloud-native platforms and a deep understanding of mining or heavy industry operations.
You'll leverage your proven experience in system architecture, agile delivery, and stakeholder collaboration to drive real business impact across a globally recognised mining operation.
What you'll be
Rio Tinto is a leading global mining and materials company. We operate in 35 countries where we produce iron ore, copper, aluminum, critical minerals, and other materials needed for the global energy transition and for people, communities, and nations to thrive.
We have been mining for 150 years and operate with knowledge built up across generations and continents. Our purpose is finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs—striving for innovation and continuous improvement to produce materials with low emissions and to the right environmental, social and governance standards. But we can’t do it on our own, so we’re focused on creating partnerships to solve problems, create win-win and meet opportunities.
At Rio Tinto, we particularly welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous Peoples, women, the LGBTQIA+ community, mature workers, people with disabilities, and people from different cultural backgrounds.
We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable being themselves. We want our people to feel that all voices are heard, all cultures respected and that a variety of perspectives are not only welcome – they are essential to our success. We treat each other fairly and with dignity regardless of race, gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, age, ****** orientation, or anything else that makes us who we are.
Where can Rio Tinto take you?
You’re passionate and ambitious with tremendous career aspirations. The breadth and growth of our organisation empowers you to define your ideal career path.
