Join our innovative team in Auckland, New Zealand! We are seeking talented individuals excited about the opportunity to relocate and contribute to our engaging work environment.
Propellerhead is a leading software services company that designs, delivers, and maintains large-scale, custom-built digital platforms across a range of technologies. We place emphasis on producing technology which is meaningful, has value, and can make a difference in the world. We foster long lasting and trusting relationships with all our clients, and we have worked with a diverse range of commercial, non-profit, and government organisations over our 20 years in the market.
The Role:
We are looking for someone with a strong background in solution architecture to join our team. The role is immersed in project delivery; you will work closely alongside our Product Owners to plan ahead on a portfolio of product roadmaps.
You will lead and guide the design of complex systems, and we'll depend on your extensive experience, judgement, opinion and insights to ensure that early delivery and continuous improvement is possible. You will set standards for programming, lead the selection of technologies, and produce software solutions in an agile, lean, and evolutionary manner.
Far from being a theorist, you will be a confident hands-on programmer. You'll be up with the play on emerging trends and be able to quickly prototype new ideas to judge their value.
Skills & Experience Required:
- 8+ years of experience with the development of multi-tier and distributed applications. Our current technology focus is React user interfaces, with services code largely written in .NET, so previous experience with both is essential. However we also have Node, Java and Go services, so you will need to show confidence in working with a variety of programming languages.
- Hands-on experience with designing solutions on cloud platforms such as Azure (our preference) or AWS, including active participation in building CI/CD pipelines, is required.
- Experience with streaming and messaging platforms, such as Kafka, is highly desirable.
- 8+ years experience in leading the design of complex software applications.
- Experience achieving strategic objectives with lean product roadmaps.
- Previous use of agile approaches to deliver small increments of software.
- You must have been responsible for the architecture of solutions comprising existing services and custom development.
Responsibilities:
- Developing, reviewing and communicating solution architecture in collaboration with the Development teams.
- Aligning design and implementation with product architecture and technical vision.
- Setting, maintaining and communicating practices, standards and expectations covering all aspects of software delivery.
- Developing strategies to counter technical debt.
Benefits:
- Contribute to interesting, diverse, and commercially minded work for well-respected clients.
- Join a Developer-led organisation full of world-class colleagues.
- Join a culture of learning and collaboration.
- Fortnightly Developer knowledge sharing session, with lunch.
- Work within our beautifully designed Auckland office and/or from the comfort of your home (hybrid working model).
- Propellerhead is an equal opportunity workplace which is free from discrimination.
