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

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

📝 Overview

Build What Matters

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.

Employment:

• Full-time

• Based: Sydney, Australia or Melbourne, Australia

• Remuneration (Including Super): AUD $85,000 - $200,000 pending your experience

What this role looks like at the mid level

You'll join a team attached to one of our products and have real ownership from early on, with the support of experienced engineers around you.

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.

🔧 Day-to-Day

• Build and ship features with guidance from experienced teammates.

• Work with AI tools daily, with the team's workflow skills for planning, implementation and review.

• Fix bugs and improve product stability across web and mobile.

• Investigate and resolve production issues.

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

⚡ Challenges

• 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.

✅ Who This Role is For

• 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.

🚫 Who This Role is Not For

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

• You're 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.

🎯 Skills & Tools

Must Have:

• Solid hands-on experience building and shipping production software

• Hands on experience with AI-powered developer tools and agentic engineering practices.

• Product mindset — wants to understand customer problems, not just implement tickets

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of features end-to-end

Nice to Have:

• TypeScript, React, Node.js, Angular, MongoDB, or AWS experience

• Mobile development experience

• Experience working in a fast-paced startup or product environment

Essential Tools:

• TypeScript / JavaScript

• React or Angular

• Node.js

Bonus Tools:

• MongoDB

• AWS

• React Native / mobile
