Please note: this job is being funded by Callaghan Innovation, and as such, we can only hire students at NZQA Level 6

Figured

At Figured, we're on a mission to help farmers and their financial advisors run more profitable and sustainable operations both now and for future generations. Founded in New Zealand 11 years ago,  our cloud-based SaaS platform now supports over 35,000 farming operations across New Zealand, Australia, UK and North America. 

We're actively redefining how farmers and their advisors manage finances by strategically integrating AI at every level. No AI sprinkles or chasing AI hype around here; it's about expanding the impact we deliver to our customers while also building a future-fit workforce. This is a unique opportunity to work with an exceptional engineering team within a company with significant growth and impact.

Why Figured’s Internship?

• A real purpose to what you do - how about helping the industry that feeds the world
• You will get to push code onto production of the Figured product, no side projects that never see the light of day.
• Top-notch Mentoring - seasoned and talented product developers who have done this many times before
• Great tools - MacBook, latest dev tools that help you kick start your development the right way, and let you get on with what you love, coding
• You will share this experience with other development interns, along with previous interns who can show you the ropes and help you on that learning journey
• Remote-friendly environment with plenty of social interactions (online) and plenty of cloud-based tools that keep you learning and feeling supported
• We enjoy our central Auckland office with sea views, balcony BBQs, non-stop beats, bean bags, ice cream, scooters, video games, and catered Friday Kai - every Friday - never-ending snacks and plenty of social activities
• Opportunities for permanent employment beyond the internship

What sort of person works at Figured?

We know you're early in your career, and it's great if you've developed software products before and dabbled with PHP, but that will only get you started. What will set you apart and take you the distance will be:

• Learning agility - you love to learn new things by doing and do that quickly
• Complexity - you thrive when problem-solving and love a good head scratcher to dive into
• Communication/collaboration - extra emphasis on this! As part of a tight-knit team solving complex problems, we default to overcommunicating and working collaboratively and openly
• Initiative - you prefer to go and figure something out rather  than waiting to be told
• Independent - you thrive on autonomy and are  not phased by having to dig around to collect information, don’t worry, we’ll hand that ball back to you if you drop it
• AI curiosity - you might not have had the opportunity to use it at work, but you must be curious and eager to use AI day-to-day

Application Process

We want to get to know you, so bring in more than just stories about your university courses and projects. We are excited to hear about your personal achievements, hobbies, life lessons, greatest laughs, and what makes you, well, you!

Figured starts by understanding the person, then the skills, so expect to meet our Chief People Officer and Head of Talent, technology leaders, and developers, all ready to rally around you and be your mentors/support team and ultimate fan club.

If you’re hungry for growth and to get stuck into real product development, and you’re excited about our vision, then apply here. We're excited to meet you!
