Software Engineer

You belong at Coles Group where we look ahead, have a plan, and are up for the challenge. We learn and grow by taking career-defining opportunities and this one may just be your next.

From our head office in Surry Hills, Sydney, to our warehouse in Dandenong, Victoria, each QuiteLike team member is a valued and necessary part of our business who shares our ethos of gathering around the table together.

We operate as a start-up and source our ingredients from a range of suppliers locally. And while QuiteLike is fortunate to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Coles Group, we operate as an independent business, separate from Coles Supermarkets. This also means that, unlike most other meal kit brands here at home, QuiteLike is proudly Australian-owned and operated.

QuiteLike is the meal kit for food-lovers. We have a vision to bring Australian families back to the heart of the home, by making it easier to create delicious meals.  We're a close-knit and agile team with a passion for delivering an outstanding customer experience, driving sustainable growth and learning a lot along the way.
