We’re looking for people to join the teams who are mainly focussed on our back end systems. Obviously it’s hard to say in detail what you’d be doing but over the last little while those teams have worked on:
Tools to enable us to better support our most vulnerable customers
The ability for people to pay in the ways which suit them best
Foundational work for letting us pass more savings through to our customers
Back-end centric feature work, in short - either adding to existing services or building new ones. Code health is important to us and all our teams strive to leave the campground tidier than they found it. You’d be working on things similar to this - full stack, customer-facing code, helping figure out what features your team will build and how you’ll measure success, and lots of collaboration with the business.
We’re keen to hear from people at various levels of experience. If you’ve been working as a developer for at least a couple of years, have a bit of Ruby and an awareness of (or exposure to) some of the other tech we use - React, AWS, Postgres, SCSS, Javascript - we’d love to chat.
Some other things that suggest we’ll get along:
You understand that collaboration is an important part of building a quality product
You like the idea of using experiments (e.g. A/B tests) to understand what the product needs to do
You get the value of tests and like to clean up code as you go
You’re enthusiastic about good coding practices - maybe you’re a fan of design patterns, or have a favourite SOLID principle
You’re Wellington-based or willing to relocate
Why’s this better than the 49 other offers you have?
We’ve got a modern, consistently architected, well tested, service oriented platform, carrying little debt, and capable of being changed rapidly and flexibly without making a mess of it
We’re goldilocks-sized - big enough that you get good support from senior developers, people leaders, knowledgeable business stakeholders, and so on - but small enough that you can see the impact of your work
You get to have input very early on in the process of deciding what to build.
Benefits
Flexible working with many of us working part weeks and doing a day or so a week from home.
We have the usual office perks - big coffee machine, fruit, yoga, massages, and a few dogs who come in on various days.
We’ve got an established culture of growth and learning, with clear progression pathways and support in place to help you grow.
