Job Description

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

The technology arm of a group of successful companies, operating across New Zealand.  This is a small but high performing team that operates with direct feedback and low ceremony.  You'll get to interact with passionate and talented developers, testers, product owners, subject matter experts and stakeholders across this awesome organisation.  They work to a set of shared values and behaviours around integrity, open feedback and treating each other with respect.


ABOUT THE ROLE:

Within this role you will own the AWS infrastructure and delivery pipelines that the company's software platform runs on.  Everything is defined as code and your job will be to keep it reliable, secure and fast to change - making the development team faster too!


This is a platform-first role, and while you will write application code when necessary, you wont be on the feature backlog.


This busy and varied role will see you responsible for:

  • Infrastructure as a code
  • Environments and delivery
  • Reliability and security
  • Data lake infrastructure
  • Development
  • Support


ABOUT YOU:

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in software or platform engineering, with 2+ years hands-on with infrastructure as code in production
  • A strong working knowledge of AWS: ECS, Aurora/RDS, S3, IAM, CloudFront, load balancing
  • Production experience with AWS CDK
  • C# experience as the application CDK and much of the platform is C#
  • CI/CD pipeline ownership (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent)
  • Git-based source control and branching workflows
  • Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MySQL) and Linux


Preference will be given to anyone with the following desirable skills:

  • Python, for the data lake stacks
  • Angular / TypeScript — some application work touches the frontend
  • Terraform or CloudFormation experience alongside CDK
  • Observability tooling beyond CloudWatch


WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

  • Work for a business that empowers their employees
  • Great working environment in the sunny Bay of Plenty, or NZ remote for the right person
  • Work with passionate and talented colleagues and exceptional leadership team in a team with very low staff turnover
  • Good salary and benefits package
