Hello, we’re Bilue - a leading design and development agency specialising in mobile, cloud, web, and emerging technologies.

Bilue was founded by Cameron Barrie, an app developer with a vision to help Australian companies design and deliver cutting-edge digital experiences.

For more than 14 years, we’ve partnered with some of Australia’s top brands to create innovative, human-centred digital solutions.

As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you'll be part of a high-performing team that brings ideas to life with clean, scalable code and beautiful, intuitive interfaces.

• Optimise applications for performance, speed, and scalability across various devices and browsers

• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint planning sessions

• Continuously improve our front-end tooling, workflows, and best practices

About You

• Experience integrating with REST APIs and handling asynchronous data
