A well-established Australian digital marketplace is rebuilding and modernising its core platform after a major business transformation. This is a high-ownership role where you will shape front-end standards, help scale a growing team, and deliver fast, reliable user experiences used by a large, national audience.


The role

  • Own and evolve a customer-facing web application in React, focusing on performance and scalability
  • Help optimise real-time user experiences for speed and resilience under high traffic.
  • Contribute to front-end architecture decisions as legacy patterns are replaced and the platform is consolidated.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering peers, and mentor others on front-end best practices.


About you

  • Strong commercial experience building production web apps with React, Next.js and Typescript
  • A pragmatic mindset: you know when to iterate vs when to invest in longer-term foundations.
  • Experience in mentoring other engineers.
  • Comfortable in a changing environment with a lot of autonomy and ambiguity.


The offer

  • High visibility role during a major platform modernisation.
  • Real influence over front-end direction, standards, and ways of working.
  • Hybrid working (typically 2 days in-office)
