Full Stack Engineer

Overview

Full Stack Engineer | Mobile Squad

12-Month Contract (View to Perm) | Competitive Day Rate | Melbourne (Hybrid)

Are you ready to build the “digital front door” for one of Australia’s most recognisable household brands?

We are representing a premier retail leader in their search for a Full Stack Engineer to join a high-impact mobile squad in Melbourne. This team owns a flagship mobile platform used by over a million customers daily. At this scale, the code you ship is seen, felt, and relied upon by the Australian public immediately.

Contract Details & Work Structure

• Term: Initial 12-month contract with a strong view to transition to permanent.
• Rate: Highly competitive daily rate (dependent on experience).
• Location: Melbourne-based with a flexible on-site / hybrid working model.

The Squad & The Tech

This is a true full-stack environment where “moving between layers” is the daily reality. You will work across a modern, unified codebase that powers a seamless experience across iOS, Android, and Web, with a strong focus on driving the mobile platform forward.

• Frontend: React Native, React, TypeScript
• Backend: C#, .NET, Node.js, Bun
• Cloud: Azure (Infrastructure as Code)

The Role

As a Full Stack Engineer, you are a software craftsperson. Working closely with a Principal Engineer, you will deliver secure, performant features in a high-traffic live environment. You’ll take full responsibility for what you build, from the first line of code through to production.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Develop and deploy features across backend, frontend, and cloud layers, optimized for a flagship mobile experience.
• Infrastructure as Code: Build and maintain Azure infrastructure with the same quality bar as your application code.
• Collaboration: Work within your squad to translate requirements into elegant, well-scoped solutions.
• Operational Excellence: Participate in on-call rotations and advocate for security and performance.
• AI Integration: Apply AI tooling in your day-to-day work to continuously improve speed and quality.

What We Are Looking For

The Essentials:

• Full Stack Proficiency: Professional experience spanning backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure.
• Core Stack Skills: Proficiency in at least one backend language (C# or Node.js) and one frontend technology (React/React Native) from our stack.
• Azure Fundamentals: Hands-on experience with networking, compute, and storage.
• Autonomy: A self-motivated engineer who reasons from “first principles” and manages work without heavy direction.
• Clear Communication: Ability to articulate technical problems and solutions clearly to the team.

Nice to Haves:

• Mobile DNA: Hands-on mobile development experience (React Native, Swift, or Kotlin).
• IaC Tooling: Experience with Terraform or Bicep.
• Enterprise Navigation: Comfort navigating large, complex organisations where influence matters as much as technical skill.

Why join?

• Scale: Build products used by millions of people across the country every single day.
• Modern Tooling: Work with cutting-edge tech like Bun and React Native in a mature Azure environment.
• Impact & Longevity: Move from concept to production rapidly in an iterative environment, with a clear pathway to a permanent role if desired.
