This role is ideal if you're early in your career but ready to make a real impact. Maybe you've done great work at a startup, built meaningful side projects, or are eager to accelerate your growth in a fast-paced environment. Your years of experience matter less than your curiosity, drive, and willingness to learn and take on responsibility.

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 be supported by experienced engineers invested in your development, while still having the autonomy to own meaningful work and make a genuine impact.

Employment:

• Full-time

• Based: Sydney, Australia or Melbourne, Australia

• Remuneration (Including Super): AUD $85,000 - $160,000 pending your experience

  • With Sitemate's diverse blend of remote and city-based team members, we ensure fair compensation regardless of your location. Our approach is informed by data sourced from Numbeo, the world’s largest cost-of-living database, which helps us maintain consistent remuneration standards across various regions

  • Through our Cost of Living Multiplier, based on Numbeo's findings, we provide guidelines for adjusting salaries to reflect the cost of living in different cities. This ensures that all team members enjoy comparable living standards, no matter where they are based
