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

We're looking for a senior full stack engineer to join our supportive and collaborative engineering team.

This role would be great for you if you're looking for more technical authority and autonomy with your work. Maybe you've worked in startups or had your own startup that has finished up, and you want to join a team that moves quickly and places a huge emphasis on product and engineering. You're ready to take ownership, influence technical direction, and help shape how we build.

You'll have the opportunity to work across a range of exciting problem spaces from web and mobile to backend systems, AI, and infrastructure. You'll lead meaningful projects, mentor junior engineers, and have direct input into the products and systems you help create.

You'll lead technical decisions within a team attached to a product. You'll help shape architecture, mentor engineers, and have direct input into how our products evolve to support our users.

You'll work across frontend, backend, and mobile, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Angular, MongoDB, and AWS. You don't need to be expert in all of these, but you’re skilled enough across part of the stack too.

You'll operate as a product-minded engineer. This goes beyond having opinions about UX. You'll join customer calls, interpret usage data, and make strategic decisions about what to ship and what to defer. The best engineers here understand the customer problem as deeply as they understand the code.

You'll lead the shift to agentic engineering. We're moving toward a model where senior engineers define and orchestrate AI agents to build features, rather than writing every line. You'll help establish how this works in practice, the patterns, the guardrails, and the quality bar. You’ll help move other engineers towards this workflow.

• Contribute to architecture decisions and long-term technical vision across the platform

• Build and ship impactful features, from architecting new capabilities to improving performance and code quality

• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and informal guidance

• Contribute improvements to developer experience (tooling, CI/CD, monitoring)

• Collaborate directly with product, design, and leadership on what to build and why

• Lead at the frontier of AI engineering. You'll define how agentic engineering works in production with real customers. This is career-defining.

• Direct access to leadership. Sitemate is flat. You'll work directly with the CTO and CEO on technical strategy. Our CEO writes Inside Sitemate, a public blog about how we actually operate.

• Equity and compensation that reflects your impact. ESOP participation on a standard vesting schedule, you own a piece of what you help build.

• Flexibility designed for real life. Structured parental leave across all regions. Intellect mental health platform. Outcomes over hours.

• You've built and shipped at scale and want to own technical direction, not just execute

• You're excited about agentic engineering and want to lead a team through that transition

• You care about mentoring, helping others grow is as important to you as your own contributions

• You're drawn to real-world impact, our users build wind farms, highways, and mines in 100+ countries

• You want to shape how an engineering org works through our next phase of growth, not inherit someone else's playbook

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

• You want a mature engineering org with a VP of Engineering, established technical ladders, and 50-person platform teams already in place. We're building that, which is the opportunity if you want to shape it, and a mismatch if you need it to already exist.

• You want to specialise in just design or just product management, senior engineers here own the full delivery cycle and operate as product-minded technologists.

• You see AI tooling as a nice-to-have. Agentic engineering is our direction and senior engineers are expected to lead the shift.

• High technical complexity beneath simple UIs, shared components across multiple products, backend services powering web and mobile clients.

• Pace: Fast-Tracked is a real operating value. You'll need to balance speed with quality and sustainable delivery.

• Organisational maturity: engineering leadership, frameworks, and career ladders are being established. You'll be building the plane while flying it.
