• Experience with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and GitHub
• Knowledge of feature architecture, design patterns, and code reviews
• A collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn or review Android code (no prior Android experience required!)

What’s in it for you?
You’ll be joining a company that genuinely values its engineers and gives them room to make an impact. Expect plenty of autonomy, modern tooling, and a team that enjoys solving problems together. You’ll also have:

• Supportive work environment with a strong team culture (weekly lunches, Friday drinks, regular events, etc)
• Competitive salary and ongoing performance-based remuneration reviews
• The chance to shape and scale a platform used by thousands across New Zealand
• Professional development support, including training and conferences
