Technical Strategist (Move to New Zealand)

Hybrid - Paris

Work with our innovative team based in Auckland, New Zealand! We are seeking talented individuals excited about the opportunity to learn, expand their skillset and support our company in its evolution to a Rust code base.

We welcome applications from individuals located internationally seeking remote engagements, or those looking to relocate to Auckland, New Zealand.

This listing is for applicants interested in relocating to New Zealand, however if you wish to express interest in working with us remotely from outside New Zealand, please apply via any of our remote listings.

Propellerhead hires exceptional talent from all around the globe and many of our people have relocated to New Zealand to join our team. We've created this website packed full of information about moving to New Zealand to work for Propellerhead, if you're interested in making the move to our wonderful country.

The Role:

At Propellerhead, the Technical Strategist role focuses on the delivery of resilient software systems that power everything from complex infrastructure to innovative new platforms. This role works closely alongside our Product Owners to plan ahead on a portfolio of product roadmaps.

We’re looking for someone who combines architectural insight with a strong hands-on engineering background. You will have spent the formative part of your career as a software developer and still be confident with understanding the structure of software solutions. You'll have knowledge of emerging trends and be able to quickly prototype new ideas to judge their value.

You will lead and guide the design of complex systems, and we'll depend on your extensive experience, judgement and insights to ensure that early delivery and continuous improvement is possible. You’ll be applying and reinforcing Engineering standards for programming, and produce software solutions in an agile, lean, and evolutionary manner. Importantly, you will be responsible for ensuring that client platforms align with our technical strategy. You will work closely with the Chief Technologist and Engineering Principal to apply standards, patterns, and tooling in client contexts, and provide informed input into technical strategy through client platform insights and delivery experience.

Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and from your own home). While you must be based in Auckland for this role, we warmly welcome applications from across New Zealand and internationally who are planning to relocate to Auckland. This particular role requires regular in-person office attendance.

We offer a culture built on trust, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. You'll join a team that values integrity over ego, and clarity over complexity.

If you're looking to contribute your insight and engineering experience to projects that matter - we would like to hear from you.

Skills & Experience Required:

• 8+ years of experience with the development of multi-tier and distributed applications.
• Our current technologies include React user interfaces, with services written in C#, so previous experience with both is essential. However we also have Typescript, Java, Go and Rust services, so you will need to show confidence in working with a variety of programming languages.
• Past communication skills must be demonstrable, with tangible examples of your skills to bridge technical solutions with business needs and present these concepts to a variety of internal and customer stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience with designing solutions on Azure is essential, including active participation in building CI/CD pipelines and instrumenting for operations, is required.
• Experience with streaming and messaging platforms, such as Kafka or NATS, is highly desirable.
• Proven experience in leading the design of complex software applications, preferably for corporate enterprise, where solutions comprise existing services alongside custom development.
• We are particularly looking for technical leaders with experience or demonstrable interest in any of the following: digital identity, verifiable credentials, open banking, AI agent authorization, edge or device-based software deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Developing, reviewing and communicating solution architecture in collaboration with the Development teams and our core Engineering team.
• Championing the technical strategy of Propellerhead as our key business differentiator, and aligning design and implementation of the solutions in your portfolio in line with that technical vision.
• Building trusted relationships with key client decision-makers. You will be responsible for ensuring our teams understand technical requirements and for clearly explaining our solution design to client technologists.
• You will be the go-to technical person for our client’s solutions, including facilitating any technical pre-requisites for delivery or addressing improvements from operational feedback.
• Developing strategies to ensure quality measures such as speed-to-value, security, reliability, maintainability, performance and functional fit for purpose.
• Specifically, you will be facilitating the evolution of our code base from C# to Rust and the ecosystem of tools, practices and services that implies, including the increasing use of AI for requirements, testing and code generation.
