Front-End Software Engineer

About the Retail team

In the Retail team, we build the services and experiences behind the buying and selling journey on one of Australia’s largest automotive marketplaces. We’re a team of product engineers who own features end to end, from the interface through to the services behind it.

This is a product engineering role with a front-end focus. You’ll spend most of your time building features in React or Angular with TypeScript and Node.js, and you’ll work regularly with our .NET services. It isn’t a design-system or UI-specialist role.

What you'll do

• Build product features end to end, from React or Angular interfaces in TypeScript to the Node.js services behind them
• Work with our .NET APIs and services, and take on more of the back end as you grow
• Take work from a ticket to production, thinking through the approach before you write the code
• Write tests as you build, and help keep our code easy to change
• Be involved in all aspects of software engineering practice, including breaking down work, code review, testing, source control and build processes
• Work with product and design to understand the customer problem behind the work
• Create and enhance team culture by sharing your knowledge and ideas, and by giving and receiving constructive feedback

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of commercial experience building product features in React or Angular with TypeScript
• Hands-on experience building and consuming APIs with Node.js
• Experience with back-end services in C#/.NET or Java, and the appetite to work in our .NET services
• A clear problem-solving approach and good testing habits, using tools such as Jest, Vitest or Playwright
• Inclusive and interpersonal attributes that connect you to our behaviours: we change the game, we own it, we step in, we are curious, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously

Nice to have

• Experience at an e-commerce or online marketplace business
• Deploying and running services on AWS
• CI/CD and infrastructure as code

We know not everyone will meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
