Senior Engineering Manager (Chapter Lead), Corporate Technology
Document Retention and Archiving team
Do work that matters
We're building tomorrow's bank today, which means reimagining how the bank manages, protects, retrieves and derives value from information at scale. As CBA continues its technology modernisation journey, we're evolving beyond traditional document repositories towards intelligent information platforms that power critical customer and operational experiences across the Group.
In this role, you'll lead engineering teams responsible for some of the bank's most critical document archival, retrieval, and information services. You'll help shape the future of how customer and business information is stored, governed, enriched and leveraged through cloud, automation, AI and modern engineering practices.
Together, we'll build secure, resilient and intelligent platforms that support millions of customers, thousands of employees and hundreds of banking services every day.
