Overview

Build What Matters
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.

What this role looks like at the junior level
n
You'll join a team attached to one of our products and learn by shipping. Senior engineers will pair with you, review your work, and invest in your growth - but you'll have real ownership from early on.
n
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.
n
Two Things Make Engineering Different Here
n
n
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.
n
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.
n
n
Day-to-Day
n
n
Build and ship features with guidance from experienced teammates.
n
Work with AI tools daily, with the team's workflow skills for planning, implementation and review.




n
Fix bugs and improve product stability across web and mobile.
n
Investigate and resolve production issues.
n
Grow into more ownership over time, this role expands as you do.
n
n
What's In It For You
n
n
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.
n
AI engineering skills that put you ahead. You'll learn agentic engineering practices now, building a forward looking skillset.
n
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.
n
Equity ownership. ESOP participation on a standard vesting schedule, you own a piece of what you help build.
n
Hybrid and flexible. Sydney or Melbourne-based
n
A team that actually supports you. Intellect mental health platform, and a culture where Handle with Care is a real operating value.
n
n
Challenges
n
n
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.
n
Pace: we move quickly, so you'll need to be excited to learn fast.
n
We have a strong culture based on core values and operating principles. You may need to unlearn some habits from previous experience.
n
n
Who This Role Is For
n
n
You've built things you're proud of at a startup, in a side project, during a bootcamp, or at university.
n
You're deeply curious about AI-powered development and want to learn agentic engineering in a production environment.
n
You want to understand the customer problem, not just the code.
n
You're energised by learning fast in a supportive, high-tempo environment.
n
You want to be part of building something meaningful — our users build real infrastructure that shapes communities.
n
n
Who This Role Is Not For
n
n
You prefer a slow ramp with months of onboarding before touching production code — here you'll ship early, with support.
n
You're not interested in owning the end-to-end delivery of features.
n
You're not interested in AI-first engineering practices, this is core to how we work, not optional.
n
n
Must Have
