👋 Thanks for stopping by and learning more about this role at Sitemate! ✨🏗️

We'd love to hear from you 😊 👩‍💻👩🏽‍💻🧑🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻

The Full Stack Engineer is an ownership role responsible for product outcomes end-to-end: from shaping technical approaches and building features through to release, reliability, and production performance.

At Sitemate, engineers combine strong technical craft with product thinking and delivery ownership. You’ll work in small, high-trust teams alongside Product Design Managers to define problems, shape solutions, implement clean and scalable systems, and take responsibility for what ships — including how it behaves once live.

Engineering, product, and delivery are not separate handoffs here; they operate as one integrated team. We believe the future of product development in an AI-accelerated world belongs to engineers who can think beyond tickets, they own outcomes and deliver at speed with AI.

• Remuneration (Including Super): AUD $115,000 - $160,000 pending your experience

You'll join a team attached to one of our products and learn by shipping. You’ll have the support of experienced engineers, but you'll have real ownership from early on.

You'll work across frontend, backend, and mobile, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Angular, MongoDB, and AWS. You don't need to know all of these. Willingness to learn matters more than what you know today.

You'll develop a product mindset. Instead of just working through tickets, you'll start understanding why features matter to customers. Engineers here are closer to the problem than at most companies; your work has context and meaning from day one.

You'll build with AI from the start. We're moving toward agentic engineering - where engineers define what to build and orchestrate AI agents to construct it. As a junior here, you'll develop AI-first habits that most engineers won't learn for years.

• Build and ship features with guidance from experienced teammates

• Leverage AI to write maintainable code and participate in code reviews

• Fix bugs and improve product stability across web and mobile

• Learn to investigate and resolve production issues with mentorship

• Grow into more ownership over time — this role expands as you do

• Structured development from day one. Every engineer gets a Sitemate Development Plan (SDP), quarterly reviews, and access to an L&D budget. You'll know exactly what growth looks like.

• AI engineering skills that put you ahead. You'll learn agentic engineering practices now, building a forward looking skillset.

• Real impact from week one. Your code powers wind farms, railways, highways, and mining operations in 100+ countries. You'll see the results of your work, not just a JIRA ticket number.

• Equity ownership. ESOP participation on a standard vesting schedule, you own a piece of what you help build.

• Hybrid and flexible. Sydney or Melbourne-based

• A team that actually supports you. Intellect mental health platform, and a culture where Handle with Care is a real operating value.

This role is ideal if you're early in your career but ready to make a real impact. Your years of experience matter less than your curiosity, drive, and willingness to learn.

• You've built things you're proud of, at a startup, in a side project, during a bootcamp, or at university

• You're deeply curious about AI-powered development and want to learn agentic engineering in a production environment

• You want to understand the customer problem, not just the code

• You're energised by learning fast in a supportive, high-tempo environment

• You want to be part of building something meaningful, our users build real infrastructure that shapes communities

This role probably isn't for you if

We want to be upfront so you can make the best decision for you.

• You prefer a slow ramp with months of onboarding before touching production code, here you'll ship early - with support.

• You not interested in owning the end to end delivery of features.

• You're not interested in AI-first engineering practices, this is core to how we work, not optional.

• Our products seem simple to users but contain a high degree of technical complexity, shared components across multiple products, backend services powering web and mobile clients. There's a lot to learn.

• Pace: we move quickly, so you'll need to be excited to learn fast.

• We have a strong culture based on core values and operating principles. You may need to unlearn some habits from previous experience.

• We do not use recruitment partners or services, so please save your time and don't reach out
