📝 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 $160,000 - $200,000 pending your experience

🔧 WHAT THIS ROLE LOOKS LIKE AT THE SENIOR LEVEL
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 an expert in all of these, but you're skilled enough across part of the stack to lead with confidence.
Two shifts are defining what senior engineering looks like here:
- 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 — and help move other engineers towards this workflow.
🔧 DAY-TO-DAY
- 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.
- Shape experiences around AI-powered developer tools and agentic engineering practices.
- Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and informal guidance.
- Contribute improvements to developer experience (too
