AI-enabled. Human-driven. Shipping smarter every day.

Kogan.com is a pioneer of Australian eCommerce. Our vision is to use and build technology to deliver personalised, innovative and fast customer experiences. We are pragmatic in our solutions, scalable in our architecture, strong on quality and not afraid to fail fast. As a team, we are empowered to make change, share our views and build each other’s capability. We see where AI is heading and we are building towards it. We keep testing, learning and embedding new capabilities into our stack where they add value. It supports our engineers to move faster, make better decisions and focus on solving the right problems, increasing their impact.

The software we build, including www.kogan.com, is used by millions of customers, so this role has real impact.
