About the role

Senior Software Engineer to join Propellerhead's core engineering team in Auckland, NZ, focusing on research, technical strategy, and enterprise software deployment architectures with emphasis on AI-assisted development and Rust/TypeScript standardization.

Responsibilities

  • Define technical solutions through research and team investigation, in line with the vision directed by the CTO.
  • Actively participate in the design and construction of software across the full stack—including code structure, deployment architecture, DevOps, automated testing, and integration of third-party systems. This will primarily involve the use of LLMs, with the expectation you will do virtually no hand-coding.
  • Collaborate with client stakeholders and fellow Propellerhead team members to ensure a shared understanding of solution design and roadmap delivery in line with agreed budgets.
  • Drive the migration of existing polyglot solutions to standardized Rust and TypeScript, towards more standardized and portable deployment architectures, and pass on technical learning to the broader organisation to embed the technical strategies throughout.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years experience as a Software Developer or Engineer, including experience working with enterprise-level complexity.
  • High proficiency in at least one enterprise-quality programming language and its ecosystem (e.g., C# .NET or Java and Spring).
  • Experience with a lower-level language for application or systems development such as Rust (preferred) or C++.
  • Experience in TypeScript and React or similar front-end frameworks, and web application development.
  • Hands-on experience deploying to Azure and/or AWS, including building CI/CD pipelines and using infrastructure scripting frameworks (e.g., Terraform).
  • Demonstrable experience in software design for distributed and asynchronous architecture, including microservices and messaging.
  • Familiarity with LLMs over hand-coding and ability to articulate benefits and produce clear design documents.
