We’re looking for a Senior .NET Software Engineer to join our Platform team, where you’ll help build the foundational services, libraries, and tooling that power our product engineering squads. This is a role for someone who loves backend engineering—nearly 100% of your time will be spent on server-side challenges involving cloud deployment tools, containerization, platform libraries, and performance-critical systems.

You’ll join a highly skilled and fun team that values engineering excellence. We hold high standards in coding practices, security, performance, observability, and test coverage. If you enjoy building solutions that other engineers rely on - and shaping the engineering experience across an organisation - this is the place to do it.

About the role

In this role, you will:

• Use your deep expertise in C# and .NET to build the core services, libraries, and tools that enable our engineering teams to deliver reliable, scalable products
• Collaborate closely with your squad, other engineering teams, and our architecture and product groups to design and evolve a robust, secure, and high-performing platform
• Champion engineering quality by producing consistent, maintainable, well-tested code
• Mentor and support less experienced engineers, helping them grow in both technical skill and engineering maturity
• Leverage modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, support refactoring, and enhance design decision-making
• Help shape best practices for responsible AI usage within our engineering workflows

About you

You’re an experienced backend engineer with a proven track record at a senior level. You bring advanced problem‑solving ability and thrive in complex technical environments.

You’ll have strong experience with:

• C# and .NET
• Containerization and deployment tooling: Docker, Kubernetes, Octopus Deploy, Azure Pipelines
• Cloud services: Microsoft Azure
• Modern delivery practices: CI/CD, Agile, automated testing
• AI‑assisted code development: Using tools like GitHub Copilot or similar to enhance productivity, improve code quality, and support rapid prototyping
• A passion for building high‑quality platform capabilities that other teams depend on

This is a hybrid role with a home and office-based split, requiring regular weekly (1 day per week) attendance in the Auckland office.
