Description

Ship real product

Quality without drama

Ownership that grows with you

The Role

You’ve moved beyond tutorials and junior guidance.

You’ve shipped features and debugged production issues.

Now you’re ready for more ownership — and more impact.

We’re hiring an Intermediate Software Engineer who can take meaningful pieces of product, build them well, and ship them confidently in a collaborative, high-trust environment.

This isn’t a “close tickets and move on” role.
This is a “build things that matter” role.

You’ll be responsible for delivering business value by designing and developing high-quality software in a highly collaborative environment. You’ll report to a Senior member of the Engineering team, and be trusted to self-manage your day-to-day work.

You will sit in that critical middle layer of engineering — capable, accountable, and growing into senior-level thinking.

The Work

You’ll spend your time building, improving, and collaborating.

Design & Development

  • Develop clean, efficient, scalable software
  • Build tools and applications that ship regularly into production
  • Contribute to solution design, algorithms, and feature architecture
  • Automate repetitive tasks using scripting and tooling
  • Architect and build moderately complex software solutions

You won’t just implement requirements — you’ll shape solutions.

Quality & Ownership

  • Review and debug code (yours and others’)
  • Perform validation and verification testing
  • Identify risks and problems early
  • Suggest improvements to design and approach
  • Participate in on-call support (shared responsibility for reliability)

You’ll take initiative. If something needs fixing, you fix it — or you raise it.

Collaboration
You’ll work closely with Product Managers, UX & Design, QA, Site Reliability Engineering and our Engineering Leaders and Tech Leads. You’ll communicate progress, blockers, and risks clearly, in both technical and business-impact terms.

You’ll also contribute to:

  • Refining engineering culture
  • Technical discussions and trade-offs
  • Recruitment (technical screens and selling the vision)
  • Continuous improvement of our SDLC practices

Our Tech Stack

  • Build high-throughput services in .NET 8 (microservices) alongside a battle-tested .NET Framework 4.8 monolith processing billions in giving
  • Design event-driven pipelines with Kinesis and RabbitMQ that bridge legacy and modern domains reliably.
  • Own microservices that solve real business problems, think payments, communications, third-party integrations etc.
  • Solve real scale and data integrity challenges in a secure multi-tenant architecture serving thousands of churches.
  • Deliver production-ready software with strong CI/CD, AWS infrastructure, and deep operational telemetry.
  • Grow your skills through hands-on migration work—modernising legacy code while keeping production humming.

Why you should care

Intermediate engineers are the engine room of great product teams. They turn intent into impact.

You’ll:

  • See your work used by real customers
  • Influence feature design early
  • Grow toward senior-level impact
  • Help shape engineering culture
  • Work in an environment where quality actually matters

This is a role for someone who wants to become exceptional, not just comfortable.
If you’re someone who:

  • Has 3+ years building multi-user web/mobile/cloud products
  • Cares deeply about user experience
  • Thinks in scalable systems, not short-term hacks
  • Self-manages tasks, time, and expectations
  • Brings new ideas from industry trends
  • Shares knowledge generously
  • Talks about outcomes, not just output

If you care about clean systems, strong collaboration, and shipping software that makes a difference, let’s talk!

Benefits

We have a passion for making all employees feel supported. In addition to having a genuine interest in helping you do your best work and drive your career, we offer:

  • Training: $3,000 annual training/conference allowance for your personal development
  • Hybrid Work Model: We aim to offer a healthy work/life balance with flexible hours and the option to work from home 2 days a week
  • Kiwisaver
  • Parental Leave: Our paid parental leave policy offers primary & secondary caregiver leave, and we also have no leave override for those returning to work after parental leave, meaning you'll be paid at your full rate for annual holidays.
  • Sick Leave: You'll automatically get 10 days sick leave per year upon starting (no 6 month wait period!)
  • Advanced gear
  • Healthy food & drink options
  • Free annual flu shots
