👋 Thanks for stopping by and learning more about this role at Sitemate! ✨🏗️

Brief overview of this role:

• You will have the opportunity to pull responsibility and technical ownership, and make it your own area of expertise. You will have the opportunity to learn (and improve) complex mobile-specific challenges such as sharing components between mobile applications, full offline mode, real-time syncing between mobile and web and native multimedia uploading.
• You will have direct engagement, collaboration and communication with our Head of Product Strategy, CTO and product-focused CEO.

What is the working environment like at Sitemate?

• We are very transparent - monthly Allhands meetings provide the team with direct insight into team updates, customer stories, hiring plans and key metrics (NPS, Revenue, Financial Performance). During this Allhands meeting we also hear one ‘life story’ from one of our team each month - learning about different countries and cultures around the world.
• We place an extremely high value on your time - you won’t be spending your days wasting time on fighting internal systems, botched together spreadsheet processes or doing data entry.
• We use best in class systems that are seamlessly integrated to deliver our team the right information at the right time, allowing them to get their work done efficiently and to a very high standard.
• You will have a core and close team around you, but you will also be exposed to and working directly with multiple departments - engineering, product, design, marketing, sales and customer success.
• You will have a high degree of autonomy, as the focus is on outcomes and not hours. If you want to block off a few hours to run a personal errand or block off an hour to pick up the kids from school - no worries. No one will be monitoring your time.
• We are constantly working to minimise the number of group meetings - daily check ins are all done asynchronously (in your own time) each morning. But spontaneous 1:1s or small sessions are strongly encouraged!

What does Sitemate do, exactly?

• Sitemate builds best in class software products for the built world.
• Industrial companies operating in the built world are facing a number of mission critical challenges - changes in work behaviour as Generation Z start to enter the workforce as mobile first users of software, and the drastic shift away from traditional mining to renewable energy projects such as wind farms and solar farms.
• Our first product - Dashpivot, is a platform where industrial style companies streamline and standardise their processes in a new digital format. This new digital format enables them to complete and track work in the field on a mobile or tablet, and automate repetitive tasks and tracking through automated workflows and real-time analytics.

What will I be doing day to day in this role?

• Work with the mobile team on our two mobile products & their backends - developing new features, fixing bugs, re-architecting core components functions.
• Help set and ensuring all work is working towards the technical vision.
• Working closely with our Delivery team (Product Owner & QA Engineers), Product team and broader Engineering team.
• Assisting our Delivery team with diagnosing any production issues by investigating Bugsnag and Datadog logs, and then creating hotfix releases accordingly.

What will be the biggest challenges for me in this role?

• Our mobile products seem simple to our users, but contain a high degree of technical complexity - from shared components across multiple mobile apps, to backend services that only serve the mobile client - there will be a lot to learn.
• We are in the process of re-architecting our product’s hierarchy over the next 12 months from a rigid tree/folder structure to a flexible tree/folder structure, which will nearly certainly require refactoring every part of our product 🙃
• Pace - we move very quickly, so you’ll need to be excited to come in and learn extremely fast
• We have a strong culture based on core values and standard operating procedures, you may need to unlearn a few things from previous experience

What kind of skills and experience do I need to have? (Ideally most but not all)

• Javascript/Typescript experience is preferred.
• React Native experience is preferred.
• Node, Serverless & AWS experience a bonus.
• MongoDB & DynamoDB experience is a bonus.
• Native mobile experience is a bonus (as per above, we are planning on forking a portion of our React Native app to enable the usage of native components for multimedia uploading).
