  • Taking ownership of features from initial concept through to release and ongoing support
  • Writing clean, scalable, and well-tested code
  • Participating in code reviews and sharing knowledge across the team
  • Mentoring other engineers and contributing to engineering best practices
  • Collaborating with stakeholders across the business to understand problems and deliver practical solutions
What we're looking for
  • Strong commercial experience developing native Android applications with Kotlin
  • Experience working at a senior level and contributing to technical decision-making
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices
  • A strong focus on code quality, testing, and maintainability
  • Experience working in agile product teams
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • NZ citizenship, residency, or a valid NZ work visa
Nice to have
  • Experience with native iOS development using Swift
  • Experience with Jetpack Compose
  • Exposure to hybrid mobile applications
What's on offer
  • The opportunity to help shape the technical direction of a growing product
  • A collaborative engineering culture where your ideas are valued
  • A modern technology environment with a strong focus on engineering best practices
  • The chance to work on products that have a real impact on customers
  • A supportive team that values learning, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement
