Platform Engineer

At NAB, we’re passionate about building software that solves problems. We count on our platform engineers to empower users with a rich feature set, high availability, and stellar performance level to pursue their missions. As we expand customer deployments, we’re seeking an experienced SRE with significant platform engineering experience to deliver core banking services to customers and colleagues. Specifically, we are searching for someone who enjoys collaborating with a cross-functional team to develop real-world solutions and positive user experiences for every interaction.

Purpose :

As a Platform Engineer at NAB, you will be a technical leader, architect, and mentor, driving the evolution of the core platforms that power our entire engineering organization. This role moves beyond feature delivery to owning the design and implementation of large-scale, resilient, and secure systems. You will tackle complex technical challenges, such as building ephemeral on-demand environments from scratch, optimizing our multi-cloud Kubernetes strategy, and embedding security deep within the software development lifecycle. You will have a significant impact not only on our technology but also on our colleagues, actively mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence. If you are a seasoned engineer passionate about building world-class platforms and leading by example, this is your opportunity to shape the future of banking technology.
