Description

At Trade Me, we're about connecting Kiwi to create the life they want. Whether it's the big things like finding a home, a job, a car or growing their business, or the smaller things, like finding that right bedside table or parting ways with some old stuff. At Trade Me our vision is to be the place where Kiwi look first.

We're building a new, cutting edge, property platform at Trade Me. You'll work with your squad, engineering and product teams to build product enhancements and bring new products to life on this platform, which deliver an experience to our customers that is second to none. We're about to kick this new platform off so you will help guide its technical direction. You will follow good development practices and be expected to participate in opportunities for growth and development – through training, mentoring, and asking questions of those around you. You'll look at the wider picture and take interest in your squad work, the work around you, and how these fit into Trade Me as a whole.

Here is what you can expect from this role:

• Proactively participate in defining and refining the work the squad needs to do.
• Estimate and plan work that has been agreed with the squad.
• Write code and unit tests to deliver on the goals of your squad.
• Peer review and test of code authored by other developers.
• Document your work as you go so that others can help maintain or build on it further.
• Get involved in discussions and initiatives to improve the Trade Me code base and technical design.
• The development and maintenance of software systems in line with Trade Me quality controls and standards
• Debugging, diagnosing, resolving, and monitoring of functional, operational, and performance issues within developed systems
• Continual improvement of existing systems, including the identification and resolution of technical debt
• Honest communication of progress, goals, problems, and deficiencies associated with work as well as constructive ideas and opinions on how we work and the products we produce
• Understanding the user and business requirements and resilience to change in a reactive environment
• Compliance with, and promotion of, Trade Me's code of conduct, ethics, and standards

What you will bring to our team:

• 3+ years' experience in similar development roles.
• Sound C# development experience (or similar language), and ideally a good understanding of the .NET Framework.
• Understanding of relational databases and SQL, in particular Microsoft SQL Server.
• A good understanding of OO design patterns, and when to use them.
• Appreciation of SOLID principles, elegant and testable code and what that looks like in a constantly changing codebase with a history.
• A good team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to collaborate
• Organised and comfortable with self-directed work; adaptable and can cope with change in a fast-moving environment.
• An eye for detail; willing to work through the little things to make our web experience faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.
• Propensity for personal motivation, initiative, adaptability and the willingness to face challenges head-on.

You'll have the best time working at Trade Me, and this is why:

#Flexibility: Flexibility means different things to different people and we support you to find what works, including a home office set up and utilities allowance. We value team connection and come together in person on Monday and at least one other day a week.

#Wellness: Being your best self means caring for your physical and mental wellbeing, we offer lots of resources to help you along the way.

#Leave: We support you with leave when you need it, including 5 days of wellness leave each year and 10 days of sick leave from day 1.

#Social: Nothing beats getting together to have some fun and celebrate our success. Join us in the office on payday for company paid lunches. Regular Friday drinks and nibbles, annual Trade Me company awards, celebrations and more.

#Learning: Whether it's on the job, formal training, mentoring or something else, you'll grow with us from Day 1.

We know some candidates can be reluctant to apply for roles if they feel they don't 'tick all the boxes'. If you're excited about this opportunity, we'd still really like to hear from you so please send us your resume and a short cover note outlining the "Why".
