Senior Java Engineer - High-Scale Banking Platform - Multiple roles from $160-220k + super + bonus


Build and evolve mission-critical banking systems processing millions of transactions daily. We're talking sub-100ms P99 latencies, five-nines availability, and zero-downtime deployments across personal and business banking platforms.


The Stack

  • Core: Java 17+, Spring Boot 3.x, reactive streams
  • Cloud: GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, Spanner)
  • Data: PostgreSQL, distributed caching, event-driven architectures
  • Observability: Full distributed tracing, metrics pipelines, chaos engineering
  • CI/CD: GitOps, containerized deployments, progressive rollouts


What You'll Actually Do


  • Design high-throughput, fault-tolerant microservices that handle money (yes, that kind of pressure)
  • Tackle distributed systems challenges: eventual consistency, idempotency, circuit breakers, rate limiting
  • Optimise JVM performance, database queries, and network I/O for millisecond-level improvements
  • Lead technical design reviews and mentor engineers on patterns that matter at scale
  • Own production: you build it, you run it—full observability and incident response


What We're Looking For


  • Deep Java expertise with real production war stories
  • Strong fundamentals: concurrency, memory management, profiling, performance tuning
  • Experience building resilient distributed systems in the cloud
  • You've debugged gnarly production issues at 2 AM and lived to optimize for them
  • Pragmatic about technology choices—you know when to use the boring solution
  • Comfortable with high-stakes environments where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable


Why This Role


  • Work on genuinely complex engineering problems with significant scale
  • Modern tech stack with engineering autonomy
  • Collaborate with strong engineers who care deeply about craft
  • Financial services domain knowledge (without the legacy pain)


Location: Sydney | Type: Permanent I Hybrid: 3 days a week in the office.
