• Write clean, efficient and maintainable code.
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of software components.
• Document software designs and changes for future reference.

Requirements

• Bachelor\'s degree in Software Engineering, or relevant work experience.
• Proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Experience with React and Redux (or similar front end technologies), including real-world projects.
• Familiarity with database management systems and data structures.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies and challenges as they arise.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
• Willingness to work extended hours, including weekends, as needed.
• Availability to start soon, the sooner the better!
• The right to work in New Zealand.

Benefits

• Work in an environment with fast paced development on the cutting edge of sailing technology where everyone is working towards the same goal of defending the America's Cup.
• Learn about the various ways data is used across a range of areas such as mechanical engineering, hydraulics, mechatronics and sailing performance.
• Develop and enhance tools for design and sailing team members who will really appreciate the tools you create.

Applications close on Sunday 19th of October, but we will start reviewing candidates as they apply, so please get in early if you can!
