Who is Catch?

Catch.com.au has been bringing low prices to everyday Aussies on the brands they know and love since we started shaking up online retail in 2006.

We are Australian owned and operated and have deep expertise on Australian consumer online shopping behaviour. Catch.com.au is part of the Wesfarmers Group, placing us in good company alongside Australia's top retailers, Kmart, Target, Bunnings, Officeworks and API.

Our vision is to be Australia’s most loved online destination for families. There's still a lot of work ahead of us, so we’re always on the lookout for creative, resourceful, and resilient people that can quickly learn new skills and adapt on the fly. 

 We’re committed to a modern and progressive engineering culture. We know that’s essential to deliver on our mission of being the trusted digital marketplace where shopping journeys start, and that maintaining trust is not easy. It requires great customer experience and great customer service, realised through great software, great engineering practices and great teamwork. And so all the things we engineer at Catch, from the catch.com.au website through to the robotics in our warehouses, requires us to embrace innovative, business enabling techniques and evolve the technologies we use.

We want you to engineer these things with us and help our ongoing evolution, playing a key part in furthering the trust our customers have in us. We know we’re not perfect, and that we have legacy like all companies our age, but we’re continuously improving and united in our mission, and want you to help us drive our evolution.
