About The Position

Join our innovative team in Auckland, New Zealand! We are seeking talented individuals excited about the opportunity to relocate and contribute to our engaging work environment in New Zealand. As a Senior Software Developer in our core delivery team, you'll help craft interesting, challenging systems that are beyond routine feature work, alongside a team of highly skilled peers who value software craftsmanship and autonomy. You’ll work in an environment that prioritises technical excellence, curiosity, and forward-thinking design. We are looking for someone who is excited by emerging technologies, specifically has an interest in edge computing and distributed architecture, and wants to make a tangible difference in the way people interact with digital systems. We offer a culture built on trust, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. You'll join a team that values integrity over ego, and clarity over complexity. Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and from your own home). While you must be based in Auckland, we warmly welcome applications from Developers across New Zealand and internationally who are planning to relocate to Auckland (please specify relocation plans in your application). If you are ready to work on real problems with real impact, and help lay the groundwork for what comes next - we would like to hear from you.
