Software Engineer

Software Engineer
Permanent, Full-time | Waterloo, NSW
We are looking for… Hopefully, you! We're bringing our website and digital product engineering in-house, and this is the role that makes that happen. As our Software Engineer, you'll keep our Next.js and React site (deployed on Vercel) fast, reliable and easy to build on, with safe, frequent releases backed by solid CI/CD. You'll also lay the platform foundations for new digital capabilities, starting with online sampling for our customers.
It's not a website-only job. You'll be the engineering resource for the wider technology function: connecting systems like NetSuite and Shopify, and supporting MAX, our AI agent platform, as it grows. You'll work closely with our product, marketing and technology teams, plus external partners and vendors.
The Sofware Engineer's key responsibilities will include:
Website and digital product
Own and evolve our Next.js / React / Vercel website architecture
Build responsive, accessible interfaces with real design quality
Lay the platform foundations for new capabilities like online sampling
Investigate and fix defects and production issues quickly
Manage technical risk: security, performance and dependencies
Engineering quality and delivery
Ship high-quality code through proper CI/CD, so releases are low-drama
Write and maintain unit, integration and end-to-end tests
Review code and keep improving how we build
Integrations and platform support
Build and maintain integrations and APIs across the business, not just the website
Support MAX, our AI agent platform, as it expands
Document your work so it's genuinely maintainable
Requirements
We need you to bring…
Strong hands-on experience with Next.js, React and Vercel - core to the role, not a nice-to-have
Solid integrations and API skills, with genuine comfort working on systems beyond the website
Real CI/CD experience - you care about the pipeline as much as the product
Experience writing unit and end-to-end tests
A full understanding of Agile and experience working in a regular sprint cycle
Comfort owning a platform end to end, including the unglamorous parts: performance, reliability and the small fixes that keep everything running
Confidence with AI-enabled engineering and IDEs such as Cursor and Antigravity
Clear communication - you can explain technical trade-offs to people who don't need the detail
The ability to switch contexts between polished customer-facing work and the systems plumbing that keeps the business running
Good judgement on scope: you know the difference between what's needed now and what can wait
A collaborative style, building rapport with our product, marketing and technology teams as well as external staff and vendors
A solution-focused mindset, with ownership of quality and maintainability over time
Nice to have: Contentstack or a similar headless CMS, NetSuite or a similar ERP, or experience supporting AI or agent-based platforms
