Front-end Engineer (UI/UX Design a MUST)
? $120K-$130K base + super
? Melbourne preference, but open to candidates interstate
? 3 days in the office, or fully remote
? Permanent, full-time The Our Client opportunity
Mining contractors run heavy equipment, tight margins, and serious compliance obligations - often out of spreadsheets and disconnected tools. We build the platform that replaces all of that - one system connecting field operations, workshop, finance, and compliance for operational teams across Australia. When our interface is slow or confusing, real crews and real jobs get held up. When it's fast and explicit, it saves people hours every shift.
That's the problem you'd be solving. Not just building screens, but transforming how mining businesses actually run day to day.
We're growing quickly, backed by VC investment, and layering AI-driven features and dashboards on top of a genuinely complex operational product.
The Role
We're hiring a Front-End Engineer, with a strong front-end focus and good experience with UI/UX. With us, you'll take features from concept to production, not just implement designs handed to you. You'll work directly with product to design and build experiences across our entire platform, and you'll use AI-assisted tooling to move faster than a traditional dev cycle allows.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build and ship fully functioning features across the platform, end to end
- Work directly with full stack rails environment, APIs and backend services to deliver complete solutions, not just UI
- Use AI tools to speed up development and iteration
- Build dashboards, data-dense views, and workflow-driven UI for real operational decisions
- Improve performance, responsiveness,
and usability across a live production system
What We're Looking For
- We are looking for someone who can work as a front end engineer with proficiency in UI/UX who can own the front end space from a technical and user experience perspective. UI/UX Design a MUST
- Strong front end experience with Ruby on Rails, React, Javascript, React Native
- Track record of shipping features independently, not just executing tickets
- Genuine fluency with AI-assisted development tools (not just aware of them) - especially Cursor
- Sharp problem-solving instincts and attention to detail in a live, evolving product
Nice to Have
- Experience with data visualisation or complex, data-heavy tables
- Background in SaaS or operational/industrial platforms
- Experience building AI-assisted or AI-driven product features
Why Join Our Client
- Genuine ownership: you'll ship a wide range of features that operational teams use the same day, not sit in a backlog
- Fast-growing, high-performing, VC-backed SaaS business with real market traction in an underserved industry
- Work on a product where the UI has direct, measurable impact on how businesses operate
- Don't be buried in huge faceless engineering departments - at Our Client your decisions shape the product, and we're established enough that your solutions have real commercial consequences that will be recognised by the top of the business
- Collaborative, people-first culture, and a supportive Product and Delivery team that will prioritise your professional growth.
Melbourne preference, but open to candidates interstate.
