DO WORK THAT MATTERS

As a team we have strong appetite for technically minded students to join our best in breed Systems Engineering teams. To be successful you'll thrive in a challenging environment, and are curious and tenacious when it comes to solving problems.

An interest in Linux and modern software defined infrastructure practices will serve you well here. Your internship will provide exposure to a number of OpenStack tools. You will also have opportunity to learn from the best and refine some existing skill level in one or more of the following: Haskell, Scala, Python, Shell, Java, Bash, Perl, Clojure, Docker, Kafke, Spark and Hadoop.

We do more than software development. Engineering is a mindset where we take responsibility for continuous improvement, delivery of product outcomes, and awareness of the cost implications of our decisions. We look for people to speak up when things aren't right, fix what's broken, but most of all to exemplify a determination to innovate and create.

We view Systems Engineering as being distinct from Systems Administration; our people have deep knowledge of Linux internals, are well versed in modern software defined infrastructure practices and the challenges of complex distributed systems, and are something of the artiste when troubleshooting & problem solving. Our people believe they can change the system, not just make it run.

SEE YOURSELF IN OUR GRADUATE PROGRAM:

As part of our 18 month program, our tailored experience has two 9 month rotations offering choices across the full gamut of our Technology & Operations. Through these rotations, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of one of the largest and most forward thinking technology environments in Australia. You are working with new technologies and together we can continue to build excellent customer experiences.

WE INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE

You'll gain access to important technical and development resources to help you expand your skills. We are future focused with a high performance culture so continually building our people capability is integral to what we do. We have an inclusive culture where sharing ideas is encouraged amongst our community of talented and diverse people.

WE'RE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM YOU IF:

  • You thrive in challenging environments with ambiguity and are curious and tenacious when it comes to solving problems;
  • You're willing to bring a fresh perspective to the way we do things. Working here is all about your ideas and engagement ability;
  • You're an Australian/New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident at the time of your application (essential);

Pros and cons of working at Commonwealth Bank

Pros

  • Great work-life balance, surrounded by brilliant people

  • It is a very big organisation and there are many opportunities outside your business area. There are secondment roles opportunities which give you a chance to try a role outside your speciality. The Graduate Program has provided excellent conferences all throughout the year which are very valuable for our professional development.

  • Great workplace culture with lots of career development. People are friendly and willing to help.

  • Flexible working arrangements Ability to move around to different teams Different initiatives that run in the bank, that you're able to join The number of networks you're able to make

  • A great place to work - there is flexible work culture, we are strongly focused on helping our community, plus the pay is good too :)

Cons

    • Fairly strict graduate rotation policy, not full freedom of where we can rotate

    • Large company so at times it can be very difficult to get what you need quickly and hard to deliver projects unless you know the right people.

    • Red tape, things can sometimes move slowly Lots of meetings, some unnecessary

    • Remuneration compared to the market.

    • The legacy tech that slows down development can sometimes be frustrating/require workarounds.
