IOOF

IOOF is one of the largest financial services group in Australia. We are an ASX top 100 company with $139.3 billion in funds under management, administration, advice and supervision, and we currently provide services to more than 600,000 customers around Australia.

Software development at IOOF is not like your typical enterprise company. Our engineering culture is rooted in agile values, a rare thing for companies of our breed. Some of the highlights of our culture include:
• We hire talented people and get out of their way
• Our agile teams are cross functional and self organising
• We have minimal hierarchy and organisational red tape
• We encourage and promote grass roots leadership from within our teams
• Continuous improvement is our focus
• We favour collaboration over rigid process

This is all underpinned by supportive management who focus on removing obstacles and providing space for our delivery teams to do what they do best. We value diverse ideas, opinions and experience. This is only achieved through diversity of our workforce. Our workplace is an open and accepting environment for people of all cultures, genders and backgrounds.

We are contributors to the open source community and have a strong open source culture. We invest in our people with opportunities for training and attending conferences. We are represented each year at YOW and Agile Australia and our people regularly do presentations at meetups and conferences. We also have a startup focus with our biannual StartupIOOF event, where winners get to incubate a totally new product or service.
