Senior Full Stack Developer

We are a proudly NZ owned and operated KiwiSaver and wealth manager. We were founded on the belief that all Kiwis should have access to simple, easy to understand financial advice and socially responsible investments that deliver long-term profitability. Ultimately, we exist to educate, empower, and advise Kiwis, to help them achieve materially better financial outcomes at retirement.

At our core, we are a purpose-driven business, caring deeply about making a difference. Our passionate team plays a crucial role in bringing our mission to life. We foster a culture of idea-sharing and empowerment, encouraging our people to lead initiatives that positively impact our business, community, and members.

About The Role

This is a role for someone who wants to go deep, not sideways. There are no direct reports and none planned - your influence comes through the quality of what you build, the standards you set and the engineers who become better by working alongside you. If your ambition is to spend your career getting better at the craft of engineering rather than moving away from it, this is that path, and we will back you on it.

This is a brand-new platform, and you will be a key part of building it - not maintaining someone else's decisions. There is no legacy codebase to work around, no accumulated tech debt and no settled way of working to fit into. The architecture decisions, the patterns, the components and the standards will be yours to help shape.

You will work hands-on across the full stack - building responsive web and mobile experiences, designing and delivering APIs, integrating with external providers, and shipping through automated CI/CD pipelines on AWS. Because we operate in a regulated industry, you will build with compliance in mind, secure by design, well tested, and able to stand behind what you ship. Including:

• Build a brand-new platform from the ground up, shaping the architecture, technical standards and engineering best practices from day one.
• Develop secure, scalable web and mobile solutions, designing APIs, integrations and full stack applications that deliver exceptional customer experiences.
• Influence technical direction, contributing to architecture, design decisions and the engineering roadmap.
• Champion engineering excellence, leading through code reviews, mentoring teammates and embedding quality into everything you build.
• Collaborate across Product, Design and Engineering to turn ideas into elegant, high-quality solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement, enhancing CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices and development workflows as the platform evolves.

Beyond your own output, you will raise the level of everyone around you - through code review, design discussion, mentoring and the quiet example of doing things properly. That is the multiplier we are hiring for - not someone who manages engineers, but someone who makes engineering better. You will also have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer or similar role (5+ years).
• Experience developing web-based and mobile applications.
• Experience with Vue 2 or 3, Nuxt 3, Typescript, NodeJS, or similar frameworks such as React, Angular, Svelte.
• Familiarity with source control tools (Github).
• Proven experience building REST API’s.
• Architecture and design judgment - you can weigh trade-offs between speed, scalability and simplicity, and explain your reasoning in a way both engineers and non-engineers can follow.
• Full stack depth - genuinely strong on both sides of the stack - comfortable moving between front-end componentry, API design, data modelling and infrastructure in the same week.

Our culture is what sets us apart. We set ourselves high standards, ensuring our work environment is one where people thrive and also have fun. We invest significantly in the well-being of our people and are intentional about celebrating wins.

• We offer a hybrid model that empowers you to balance work and home life seamlessly.
• Competitive base salary + bonus package paid twice a year, additional KiwiSaver contribution, corporate benefits, and more!
• Well-being benefits including health insurance, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and discounted gym membership.
• Access to ongoing training & support.
• Proactive Health & Wellbeing Committee that organises a full calendar of events and initiatives that support Social Connection, Community, and Mental Health.
• Comfortable and central Auckland CBD office location.
