Company Description

Got Drive? You'll fit right in

Together with carsales this is your opportunity to inspire a team of talented developers and to work in our Consumer Tribe.

The Consumer Tribe, in a nutshell, is our Carsales.com.au website across desktop, mobile and Apps, along with all our other verticals (bikes, boats, caravans, trucks, farms, construction, and international sites). The tribe also manages everything that supports the back end, and everything around the customer buying experience and product offerings.

We are looking for Engineering thought leaders to drive innovation on products and services that will improve our customer experience as well as scale our systems as our customer-base continues to grow. Roles of this type are equal part technical and team leadership focused. So we’re expecting the people who apply to come with significant hands on experience within similar Website or SaaS businesses, built on contemporary tech stacks. They’ll ideally have helped teams and individuals grow and develop and are finely attuned to the needs of their team members, stakeholders and end-users.
