Each role owns one part of Jetstar’s digital estate and keeps it reliable, secure and economic, so that the customer journeys built on it can ship change quickly and safely.\nThese are working leadership roles. You’ll lead a permanent engineering team and direct the partner engineers deployed alongside it. Technical credibility is required, and you’ll stay close to the design and the code.\nIn These Roles You Will:\nOwn the technical direction, roadmap and sequencing for your area, within Jetstar’s engineering and architecture standards\nOwn reliability, availability and performance, including incident response - triage, escalation, recovery and root cause resolution\nOwn your area’s cost base - team cost, cloud, licence and vendor spend - and drive value for money over time\nDirect contracted and partner engineers alongside permanent staff, and hold partners to account for quality and productivity\nDrive adoption of AI-assisted and modern engineering practice\nLead and develop your team, building the capability needed to meet performance expectations\nThe Roles:\nEngineering Manager, DotRez\nReports to the Senior Manager, Digital Technology\nOwn Jetstar’s booking flow and the DotRez reservations platform behind it. You’ll set the target-state architecture and strategy for reservations, lead the engineering of the migration to a new reservations platform, and keep today’s platform and the core booking services around it reliable while the migration runs.\nIdeally you’ll bring: airline passenger service system (PSS) or reservations experience, setting target-state architecture for a core platform, and a track record of leading a large replatform or migration with real cutover risk.\nEngineering Manager, DotCom & App\nReports to the Senior Manager, Digital Technology\nOwn jetstar.com - everything up to the booking flow - and the Jetstar app. You’ll lead the app migration, lift web performance and resilience, and give our journey teams the platform capability they build on, working with a small permanent team alongside an offshore partner team.\nIdeally you’ll bring: high-traffic consumer web at scale, native or cross-platform mobile delivery, modern frontend architecture, and day-to-day leadership of offshore partner engineers.\nEngineering Manager, Payments, Identity & Memberships\nReports to the Principal Engineering Manager, CX & Resilience\nLead engineering for the path every Jetstar customer pays through, and the identity and membership capability behind it. This is the most hands-on of the four roles: you’ll carry the domain’s technical design yourself while leading a multi-year transformation that turns how Jetstar takes payments into a capability every journey can use.\nIdeally you’ll bring: payments engineering (gateways, acquirers, tokenisation, reconciliation), PCI-DSS or similarly regulated systems, customer identity (CIAM, OAuth/OIDC), and experience holding payment providers to account.\nEngineering Manager, Cyber & Crit 1 Uplift\nReports to the Principal Engineering Manager, CX & Resilience\nRun two jobs with one team. Lead our cyber engineering squad - remediating vulnerabilities, cloud security posture and supply chain exposure, and building the pipeline gates that prevent issues in the first place. And build the incident readiness - support coverage, escalation and recovery - behind Jetstar’s most critical platforms. Much of that work lands in platforms owned by other teams, so influence matters as much as authority.\nIdeally you’ll bring: DevSecOps and AppSec at scale, cloud security posture management, SRE and incident management, and working with Risk & Compliance on controls assurance.\nYou Will Bring:\nDegree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or Information Technology, or equivalent professional experience.\n8+ years in software engineering, including leading an engineering team\nEnd-to-end ownership of a production platform or service at scale\nReliability and incident management for customer-facing systems\nCyber remediation and secure-by-design engineering practice\nManaging cloud, licence and vendor cost for a platform\nDirecting contracted or partner engineers alongside permanent staff\nCurrent hands-on credibility in modern and AI-assisted engineering practice\nYour Life At Jetstar Is Unlike Any Other\nPut the craft in aircraft: There’s a new fleet of A321LR NEO’s waiting for your arrival. Beyond Jetstar, our teams get exposure to projects related to the Qantas Group’s A320/1, B787 and A321 Freighters.\nLive the travel dream: You and your nominated travel companions can takeoff more with our famous Qantas Group Staff Travel discount.\nMake work feel like a holiday: Join a fun, driven team where work feels like a holiday. Our people take every opportunity to takeoff together and find ways to help their teammates soar.\nThere’s a place for everyone at Jetstar: For us, travel and meeting new people go hand in hand. We invite our people to get involved in various Employee Network Groups that play an important role in creating our inclusive and supportive culture that we are fiercely proud of. We believe that teams with a diversity of ideas and experiences are more creative, innovative and solve problems quickly. We welcome applications from anyone who wants to takeoff with us.
