Frontend Engineer (React)

About Hipages

We’re hipages.

Today, we’re transforming the way people get things done around their home. Founded in an Aussie garage 14 years ago by two great mates, we’ve continued to reinvent and refine what we do, becoming Australia’s # 1 place to hire qualified, trusted and verified tradies.

We’ve grown by using leading technology and innovation to change the way Australians find tradies – from basic repairs to big reno projects. But while we’ve made things simpler and speedier, some things never change – like building relationships and having a chat with a friendly face.

Deep down, we’re a place that tackles the complexity of finding and hiring trusted tradies by offering an end-to-end experience. We’re a company helping Australians get things done around the home, providing help and support every step of the way.
