Judo Bank

An opportunity for an experienced engineer to be a key part of Judo's engineering team – shaping practices and ways of working. We have a lean internal engineering chapter, whom have recently worked on a core banking migration to Thought Machine.

You will get to work on and drive everything from core banking services, through to other large technically challenging initiatives and digital journeys to support our bankers and customers.

Who are we?

We’re Judo Bank. A purpose-built challenger bank, built on old-fashioned values like integrity, trusted relationships and an enterprising spirit. Born out of a desire to reinvent the craft of relationship banking for the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) market, and to challenge the status quo in a market dominated by the four major banks. We started from a PowerPoint and a bold vision to make a difference in Australian business banking.

In a few short years, we have grown significantly, and with offices around the country, Judo Bank is one of the fastest growing new banks in the world. We’re proud to support Australian SMEs and are a business built on trusted relationships, putting our people and customers at the centre of everything we do. Being agile and adaptive, we are purpose built to say yes, to make it easier for our customers to get the funding they need, when they need it.

We pride ourselves on our personal relationships with customers, our diverse workforce and collaborative culture.

We deeply value diversity of background, experience and thought, and encourage First Nations people, LGBTIQA+ people, people from under-represented or minority backgrounds, people of all ages, and people living with disability to apply.

Now, about this role…

If you love:

  • Engineering clean, maintainable, secure, well-tested code that runs in production (we are a bank!)
  • Uplifting engineering practices and capabilities
  • Working on technically challenging production-ready services (we are heavily invested in event streaming architecture alongside API services)
  • Collaborating across various teams – e.g. product managers, architecture, design
  • Working in a diverse workforce where you can bring your own capabilities, experiences and knowledge to help build the foundations of Judo

Then this just might be…

Your dream job:

  • Leading technical implementation of new services (from idea to operations)
  • Uplifting engineering practices and culture (with support from others to do so)
  • Working in a cloud native stack (AWS primarily) and with a modern core banking platform (Thought Machine)

A little bit about you…

The skills you’ve picked up along the way:

  • Expertise with Python / AWS (although we prefer an experienced polyglot engineer)
  • Developing API services and experience with event driven architectures (Thought Machine Kafka expertise a bonus)
  • Ability to learn new domains quickly and leverage knowledge to technically problem solve issues

Your life pre-Judo:

  • 3+ years' experience with Python / Typescript
  • Worked on “at-scale” operational services
  • Experience with AWS core services (S3 / RDS / Lambda / ECS etc)
  • Experience with cloud native core banking platforms a bonus!
  • Australian working rights

Judo’s culture sets us apart…

Our Values

  • Accountability – make the decision and own it. Do what you say.
  • Performance – make today better, stronger and faster than yesterday.
  • Teamwork – we’re not a team of champions, we’re a champion team.
  • Trust – the foundation of our purpose and our relationships.
