Senior Full Stack Developer

Wellington | In-office (bit of hybrid) 

We have some great digital projects underway and are looking for Senior Front End and/or Full Stack Developers to join our team and help bring them to market. With several exciting projects kicking off soon, we need people who can jump in confidently, collaborate across disciplines, and help us build high-impact, human-centred digital experiences.

About us

Alphero is a digital agency that blends strategy, design, and tech to help organisations reimagine how they connect with people. We work across a wide range of industries - from government to finance to energy - designing and building mobile apps, web platforms, and emerging digital products that are smart, scalable, and a little bit magical. Our team is pragmatic, passionate, and focused on quality outcomes, not ticking boxes.

About the work

• You'll be part of a tight-knit, cross-functional team working on meaningful digital products. Our front-end stack is built around ReactJS, NextJS, and TypeScript, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, clean design implementation, and smooth micro-interactions - often using libraries like Lottie. We care deeply about interface quality and inclusive design, so a strong understanding of WCAG and modern UX/UI principles is important.
• Many of our projects centre around modern CMS implementations and API-driven interfaces, and we're especially keen on developers with experience in headless CMS platforms (such as Contentful, Sanity, or Payload) and personalised user experiences. We're also exploring AI-powered interfaces and dynamic content delivery. While we do work with cloud-native services like AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3), what matters most is that you're comfortable building responsive, content-rich applications, can work effectively with APIs and data layers, and understand how to create engaging user experiences that adapt to individual users' needs.
• Or maybe you’ll prefer contributing across the stack - from polished front-end builds to secure and scalable API layers—bringing strong coding practices, reusability, and architectural thinking to everything you do. This isn’t a heads-down role; we’re looking for someone who enjoys shaping how things are built, not just executing requirements.

You’ll need solid commercial experience in HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like ReactJS and NextJS. A user-centred mindset and fluency with accessibility best practices are essential. On the back end, you should be confident working with APIs and cloud services—preferably in AWS, but we’re happy to talk if you bring Azure or other cloud platform experience. Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like CDK or Terraform is a bonus.

Other nice-to-haves include: working with CRMs, automated testing (Vitest, Playwright), and curiosity or exposure to AI tools.

Must be based in Wellington. International candidates will not be considered.

Why Alphero?

We’re big on autonomy, trust, and doing meaningful work with people who care. You’ll be part of a team that values critical thinking, clear communication, and well-crafted digital experiences. You’ll have support, flexibility, and the chance to do great work alongside people who genuinely enjoy what they do.
