Job description

Build and support the digital experiences behind one of Australia’s most loved retail brands.

MECCA is Australia and New Zealand’s largest premium beauty retailer, with millions of customers and a rapidly growing digital business.

We’re looking for a Sitecore Developer to join the digital technology team and help deliver meaningful improvements across MECCA’s Sitecore XM Cloud platform — spanning content delivery, component development, headless integrations and the modern web stack around it.

This is primarily a Sitecore engineering role, working across Sitecore XM Cloud, JSS / Content SDK and headless content delivery, extending into React, Next.js, TypeScript and .NET as MECCA’s Sitecore implementation moves further into headless and composable territory.

If you have solid experience with headless or composable CMS platforms (Contentful, Contentstack, Optimizely, Kontent.ai and similar), experience in React / Next.js / TypeScript skills, or backend experience building APIs and Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) services in C# / .NET, we’d still love to hear from you.

The Role You Can Play

• Enterprise platform ownership - take responsibility for features and components across Sitecore XM Cloud and the broader digital technology landscape
• Customer-facing impact - shape web and content experiences used by MECCA customers every day
• Modern stack exposure - work across headless content delivery, React/Next.js front ends or .NET-based BFF services
• Technical growth - work alongside senior engineers, product owners and digital stakeholders on real architecture and delivery decisions
• Collaborative team environment - join a team where your input on approach and design is genuinely valued
• Recognised brand - be part of one of Australia’s most distinctive and fast-growing retail businesses
  
  

Key Responsibilities Include

• Building and improving components, content structures, integrations and headless content delivery on Sitecore XM Cloud
• Developing and applying knowledge of Sitecore JSS / Content SDK, content modelling, rendering and publishing
• Contributing to customer-facing experiences using React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript
• Supporting backend services, APIs and BFF development using .NET
• Owning small-to-medium features end-to-end, from requirements through to release
• Troubleshooting Sitecore-related issues across development and production environments
• Working with Product, UX and QA to turn requirements and designs into high-quality digital experiences
• Contributing to code reviews, testing practices and documentation to help lift overall quality
• Supporting and mentoring junior developers where relevant
  
  

What You Will Bring

• Minimum 2+ years of commercial software development experience
• Experience with Sitecore XM, XM Cloud, JSS, Content SDK, or a comparable headless/composable CMS
• Strong working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and/or C#/.NET
• Comfortable working across different parts of the stack rather than one narrow area
• Solid understanding of APIs, HTTP, Git, debugging and testing
• Experience building web applications, APIs or backend services
• Ability to work with a good degree of autonomy, while knowing when to escalate or ask for input
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work through ambiguity
• Good communication and collaboration skills
  
  

Nice To Have

• Experience with React, Next.js, ASP.NET Core, REST APIs, BFF or microservice architecture, Azure/AWS, CI/CD, or eCommerce/customer-facing digital environments.
  
  

This role is based in Richmond and works to MECCA’s four-days-per-week in-office rhythm. You’ll be joining a fast-paced retail technology environment where priorities can move quickly, so this will suit someone who enjoys variety, is comfortable learning on the job, and is motivated by building digital experiences that customers actually use.
