Hi! We’re hipages, an ASX-listed tech company and Australia’s #1 digital platform connecting households with trusted home improvement businesses. We're on a mission to transform the home improvement industry to build better lives for everyone. With teams across Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Vietnam, we work as one team with a shared purpose. We’re proud to be a certified Great Place to Work and WORK180’s #1 Employer for Women . At hipages, you’ll find real impact, career growth and a workplace where everyone belongs. About the role: We’re building the shared platform that makes every hipages engineer, product manager and designer and every AI agent working on their behalf, faster, safer and more effective. We own the hipages agentic harness and software factory: the shared kernel (identity, audit logging, shared memory/context, a plugin/skill registry, org-wide safety limits and a behavioural baseline), cloud agents plus the encouraged per-team "forks" (bundled MCP servers, skills, prompts and UX surfaces). You'll go beyond code generation to improve one or many parts of the whole software development lifecycle (SDLC), building AI workflows that are contextually aware of our codebase and conventions, integrated into how engineers already work, and continuously improving. This is platform-engineering-shaped work: you'll build new platforms, treat fellow engineers, product managers and designers as your customers, and care equally about developer experience (DX) and agent experience (AX). This is one of the highest leverage pieces of work in the organisation, and will shape how hipages continues to build awesome software that households, home services businesses and our internal teams love to use.
