We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join a growing SaaS business in Auckland. This is a hands-on role with real influence, ideal for someone who enjoys improving how software is built, not just writing code.
  
You’ll act as a technical escalation point for developers, while staying hands-on across a modern full-stack environment. They’re looking for someone who can introduce best practices, optimise development processes, and help automate manual workflows.
  
Tech is flexible: PHP/Symfony is used, alongside Golang and Python, with a strong focus on AI-assisted development (including Entropics). Language experience matters less than strong engineering fundamentals and a willingness to experiment.
  
What you’ll be doing

• Designing and building full-stack features for a SaaS platform
• Improving developer experience, tooling, and delivery processes
• Identifying manual processes and introducing automation where possible
• Experimenting with and adopting AI-assisted development tools

  
What we’re looking for

• Strong experience as a software engineer at intermediate or senior level
• Comfortable acting as a technical escalation point and mentor
• Broad full-stack capability and willingness to work across languages
• Strong interest in engineering best practices, automation, and optimisation
• Curious mindset with interest in AI-assisted development

  
If you’re a hands-on engineer who enjoys mentoring, improving systems, and shaping engineering practices, this is a great opportunity to have real impact.
