Move to New Zealand - Senior Software Engineer
Hybrid · Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
Job Summary
Senior Software Engineer at Propellerhead in Auckland, New Zealand, with a hybrid in-office work model. You will define technical solutions through research and team investigation, participate in design and construction across the full stack (including deployment architecture and automation with CI/CD), and migrate existing polyglot solutions toward standardized Rust and TypeScript deployments. You’ll collaborate with client stakeholders and teammates to align on design and roadmap delivery, and you will help translate requirements into technical tasks, mentor team members, and contribute to creating secure enterprise software. The role emphasizes working with LLMs to accelerate delivery, producing clear design documents, and supporting the development of reusable architectures. This role requires regular in-person office attendance in Auckland, with welcoming relocation for international applicants. The final stage of the recruitment process includes an in-person interview in New Zealand. Propellerhead is an equal-opportunity employer and supports a hybrid working model with opportunities to work from both office and home. Candidates may progress to police background checks, credit history checks, and other assessments as part of the process.

- High proficiency in at least one enterprise-quality programming language (C# .NET or Java and Spring)
- Experience with a lower-level language such as Rust (preferable) or C++
- Experience in TypeScript and React or similar front-end frameworks
