Graduate / Early Career Software Engineer – Product Business Unit

Full-time, Christchurch based position

Shape the future. Build what’s next. Stop financial crime.

At Jade Software, we don’t do average. We’re a purpose-led technology company with bold ambitions: to build world-class products that help businesses tackle their toughest challenges. As a proud Certified B Corporation, we balance performance with purpose, putting people and impact at the centre of everything we do.

You’ll contribute to a team striving for excellence, eager to learn, and driven to deliver meaningful solutions.

To keep our momentum strong, we’re seeking a Graduate or Early Career Software Engineer who is curious, passionate about coding, and excited to grow with a team shaping the future of our product.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our flagship SaaS product, Jade ThirdEye, enables customers to detect and prevent financial crime. As part of our Product Engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, contribute to coding, testing, and deployment, and help shape the future of our evolving product.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with a team of engineers to design, build, and maintain applications and services.


• Learn and apply modern engineering practices, coding standards, and testing approaches.


• Contribute to the full software development lifecycle, from design to deployment.


• Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives.


• Collaborate with the wider team to understand user needs and deliver high-quality solutions.

Why Jade?

At Jade, you’ll do the best work of your career, and it will matter. You’ll be part of a team that is:

• On a mission: fighting financial crime on a global scale.


• Ambitious and driven: we care about impact and continuous learning.


• Invested in you: collaborative, supportive environment with opportunities to develop your skills and grow your career.


• Well supported: excellent benefits including comprehensive health, life, and income protection insurance, enhanced parental leave, and dedicated community time.

What makes you stand out

• A recent graduate or early-career software engineer with experience in C# and/or TypeScript.


• Exposure to cloud platforms, ideally AWS, and familiarity with modern engineering practices.


• Understanding of APIs, deployment pipelines, databases, and the software development lifecycle.


• Eager to learn, collaborate, and contribute to a high-performing team.


• Experience with Angular or React is desirable; familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) or machine learning is a bonus.


• Strong communication skills and willingness to ask questions, share ideas, and grow professionally.

If you’re curious, driven, and want to contribute to solving complex problems in a supportive, people-first culture, we’d love to hear from you.
