Job description

About Gallagher

Our purpose at Gallagher is ‘Protect what matters most’ and we live it every day, whether that’s protecting the world’s highest security environments or agricultural businesses, we care deeply about our people, their families, and our wider communities.

Gallagher Security is on a mission to unlock more value for our customers through the power of our people and solutions - and right now is a pivotal moment in our evolution. We’re scaling with intent, driving an incredible growth trajectory with innovation and customer impact at the heart of everything we do. With operations across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Africa, the USA, Canada, and Europe and exports to over 140 countries we’re building globally focused career pathways right here in New Zealand.

As we expand our Hamilton-based teams, this is your chance to be part of a true Kiwi tech success story making a global impact. If you’re driven by passion and purpose to protect what matters most, come help shape the future of what’s possible with us.

About the Role

We’re looking for a curious and adaptable Software Engineer, junior or intermediate, to join our internal Dev Platforms team. This team owns the shared foundation that Gallagher Security’s developers build on: pipelines, tools, platforms, and practices that make shipping software safe and repeatable. You’ll help build and maintain that platform, and you’ll stay close to the teams who use it, because their challenges are how we learn what to improve next. The best thing you’ll ship is one that means nobody needs to ask for help with that problem ever again.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain the shared tools, pipelines, and services that other developers rely on.

• Work with development teams to understand where they get stuck, and turn that into improvements to the platform and how we work

• Work in a supportive squad with a great engineering culture that pairs, reviews, and shares what it learns

• Bring ideas for improving our tooling, infrastructure, and practices, and get the room to try them.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is adaptable, eager to learn, and able to pick up new concepts, languages, and areas quickly:

• You enjoy problem-solving and can break down complex challenges into actionable steps

• You thrive in a collaborative environment and can follow guidance while thinking independently

• You’re motivated to grow, experiment, and learn rather than needing experience with a long list of technologies

• Experience with C# would be helpful, as it’s widely used in our environment, but it is not essential

• Experience with (or an interest in) software delivery tooling and practices: CI/CD, dependency management, code signing, or similar

Working at Gallagher

At Gallagher, we foster a collaborative, innovative environment where continuous improvement is how we work. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to directly influence how customers, partners and teams learn about our technology, helping create training content that is accurate, accessible and impactful. You’ll work alongside passionate product, training and learning design specialists in a culture that values curiosity, trust, practical problem solving and balance so you can thrive both professionally and personally.

We also offer:

• Competitive salary and bonuses

• Hybrid flexibility (typically 3 days in the office a week, with additional onsite days required depending on work demands)

• KiwiSaver on-top and Life and Disability insurance

• Mentorship and professional development opportunities

• A supportive team culture with team-building events, and a fun environment
